COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS (October 27, 2008) TCU’s run came to an end Monday at the Wilson/ITA South Central Regional Men’s Tennis Championships. The lone Frog doubles tandem remaining in the main draw fell in the semifinal round, while two other TCU players concluded action in the consolation round of singles play.
Junior Adrian Simon and sophomore Emmanuel Brighiu were eliminated in the semifinals of the main doubles draw after suffering an 8-4 loss to Texas’ grouping of Dimitar Kutrovsky and Joshua Zavala. Simon and Brighiu had won three straight matches to reach Monday’s semifinal.
In singles play, Simon swept three consecutive Monday matches, including one against Frog teammate Zach Nichols, to take the Round 2 consolation title. After an easy 6-1, 6-3 quarterfinal victory over Louisiana Lafayette’s Yanick Mandl, Simon outlasted Nichols, 1-6, 6-3 (8-9), when Nichols elected to retire. Nichols reached the semifinal with a walkover win over Rice’s Chong Wang.
Simon earned the consolation bracket win by walkover in the final over Javier
Pulgar Garcia (Louisiana Lafayette), who was injured.
TCU returns to the court for its final tournament of the fall season Nov. 7-9,
when it travels to Austin, Texas, for the Texas Invitational.
