Auburn’s men’s tennis team hit the road Wednesday, April 15, as they played the Arkansas Razorbacks in College Station. The Tigers won 4-2 to the surprise of no one as they won the same score earlier in the season.
The Tigers lost the doubles point with losses on courts one and three. Junior Marko Krickovic and sophomore Maxime Hinnisdaels lost 7-6 (8-6) to the Razorbacks. Senior Lukas Ollert and sophomore Oliver Plaskett were able to get a win on court two 6-3.
However, sophomores Dante Saleh and Petar Tomic lost on court three 6-3 squashing the Tiger’s hopes of getting off to a 1-0 start.
The Tigers were more successful in singles with four wins and only one loss. Ollert won 7-6, 6-3 and Krickovic won 6-3, 3-6, 6-3 against the Razorbacks’ Santiago Munoz.
On court three, Hinnisdaels won 6-1, 6-3 against Johan den Toom. Despite suffering a loss on court six by Tomic, the Tigers grinded out a win by Plaskett on court five by a score of 3-6, 6-2, 6-3.
Auburn’s next match is scheduled for Thursday, April 16, at 11 a.m. against the fifth ranked Vanderbilt Commodores. The Tiger’s first meeting with Vandy saw the commodores winning 4-0 in Nashville, Tennessee.
