Men’s tennis well represented during ITA Southwest Regional

By Jason Freund SPORTS EDITOR

Eight players and four doubles teams participated in the ITA Southwest Regional Championship at the Ralphs-Straus Tennis Center at Pepperdine University for San Diego State men’s tennis.

The duo’s team of senior Joe Tyler and junior Victor Castro represented the Scarlet and Black well by advancing to the doubles quarterfinals while sophomore Johannes Seeman advanced the furthest in singles play for SDSU by making it to the Round of 32.

Tyler and Castro began the competition by ousting University of Santa Barbara redshirt freshman Diego Castillo and

sophomore Josh Williams 8-2 before upsetting the No. 10 seeded Pepperdine team of senior Daniel De Jonge and freshman Linus Carrlson Halldin 8-5.

However, Tyler and Castro were bounced from the tournament 8-6 by the thirdseeded USC duo of juniors Stefan Dostanic and Samuel Rubell, the eventual winners of the doubles draw.

Despite a first-round bye, Seeman wouldn’t advance further than the Round of 32. Against the aforementioned Rubbell, the no. 11 seeded sophomore was eliminated in straight sets 6-2, 6-1.

SDSU will wrap up their fall season on Nov. 5-7 as they make the short drive to the University of San Diego to partake in the San Diego Veterans Tennis Classic.
