No. 12 Men’s Tennis Earns Key WCC Win Over No. 39 Pepperdine

SAN DIEGO – The No. 12 San Diego men's tennis program (15-2, 2-0 WCC) earned a key victory in WCC play, downing No. 39 Pepperdine (7-10, 1-1 WCC) on Friday afternoon at the Hogan Tennis Center.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • In a rematch of last season's WCC Tournament final, the Toreros came out of the gate with energy.
  • Savriyan Danilov and Lambert Ruland jumped out to a 3-0 lead, before Stian Klaassen and Oliver Tarvet added an early break point.
  • While Sacchitt Sharrma and Iiro Vasa rallied from a 5-2 deficit to take a 6-5 lead, it would be Klaassen and Tarvet who clinched the doubles point for the Toreros.
  • The Toreros took the first set in five of six singles matches following the doubles point, as Tarvet and Danilov got off to quick starts.
  • The duo would each win their matches in straight sets, as Tarvet defeated another top-40 opponent to give San Diego a 3-0 lead.
  • While Pepperdine got a point back, the win would ultimately be polished off by Klaassen.
  • Klaassen recovered from a break point down in the second set to get back on serve and win a 7-5 tiebreaker in the set to secure the fourth point.
 
NEXT UP
  • The Toreros will continue WCC play on Thursday, traveling to face No. 54 Santa Clara for a 1 p.m., match.
