SEATTLE โ After six straight matches on the road, the Husky men's tennis team finally comes back home this week for two huge Pac-12 dual matches against the Trojans and Bruins. Washington (7-10, 1-2 Pac-12) capped its long road trip with a conference win at Utah last Friday, giving the Dawgs a boost of momentum to carry home.
ย
The Huskies host 49th-ranked USC first this Friday, Apr. 5, at 3 p.m. then 25th-ranked UCLA comes in on Sunday for a 1 p.m. match. Both matches will be played outside at Bill Quillian Stadium, weather permitting. Washington is 5-1 at home and finishes the regular season with four of its final five matches at home.
ย
Washington had a series of close setbacks before breaking through with a 4-0 sweep at Utah. Prior to that, the Dawgs fell 4-3 at #63 Boise State and 4-3 at #39 Pepperdine, as well as 4-2 at #64 Santa Clara.
ย
Several Huskies have been starting to string wins together in singles and doubles. Nedim Suko has won his last three at No. 4 singles, Dzianis Zharyn has won six of his last seven at No. 2 singles, and Ivan Sodan has won four of his past five at No. 5 singles.
ย
In doubles, UW has won two of the last three doubles points, with Zharyn and Cesar Bouchelaghem winning three in a row at No. 1 doubles and moving back up in the rankings to No. 39. The recent new pairing of Heman Nama and Ivan Sodan have earned two wins at No. 3 doubles at Pepperdine and at Utah to help UW win the point.
ย
USC is 5-11 on the year and 0-1 in Pac-12 play but still has several big wins and some tight losses to top teams. The Trojans recently had a 4-3 loss to No. 2 TCU. They have a 4-0 win over current No. 36 Michigan and a 4-3 win over current No. 13 San Diego. In the rankings, Peter Makk is No. 64 and Makk and Lodewijk Weststrate are No. 75 in doubles.
ย
UCLA is ranked 25th and is 8-6 overall and just had a non-conference victory over the Trojans in its last match by a 4-1 count. The Bruins lost to the Arizona schools at home to sit at 0-2 in conference play, and they will play at Oregon first on Friday. Same as USC, the Bruins also had a 3-4 loss to No. 2 TCU back on Mar. 13, but followed that with a 4-3 win over currently 12th-ranked Harvard. Govind Nanda is ranked 22nd nationally in singles and Spencer Johnson is No. 120.
