NEW HAVEN, CT – The University at Buffalo men's tennis team competed at the ITA Regional championships this weekend, where the Bulls turned in several solid performances as two players advanced to the Round of 16 in the singles draw and three doubles parings also advanced to the Round of 16.
Senior Clement Mainguy defeated Sacred Heart's Tomasz Garbacz in straight sets and then won a three-set thriller over Yale's Krish Gupta before falling to Yale's Vignesh Gogineni in another three-set match before eventually falling to the number one overall seed in another three-set effort in the round of 16. Senior Theodoros Mitsakos also advanced to the Round of 16, overcoming a dropped first set to defeat Le Moyne's Emmanuel Cottle and then taking down Yale's Varun Verma in straight sets before eventually falling to Harvard's Peter Benjamin Privara. Junior Onder Balci defeated Niagara in three sets for an opening round win before falling to Cornell in the second round and Michael Malkin and Minjae Kim also impressed in singles action, winning a pair of matches to advance to the main draw.
In doubles the Bulls saw all three doubles pairings advance to the Round of 16 as Emiliano Jorquera and Faiz Nasyam defeated Le Moyne 9-7 and then followed that with a 8-3 win over Fairfield. Malkin and Kim defeated St. Bonaventure 8-5 before taking down Brown 8-5 and Cornell 8-3 before falling to Boston College in the quarterfinals. Mitsakos and Mainguy opened with an 8-3 win over Boston College and then defeated Bryant 8-3 before dropping their quarterfinal match.
Up next, Buffalo returns to action next weekend at the MAC Fall Invitational, hosted by Western Michigan.
