Late Rally Falls Short for No. 14 Men’s Tennis at No. 47 Oklahoma

NORMAN, Okla. – The No. 14 San Diego men's tennis program (9-2, 1-0 WCC) nearly rallied but came up just short, falling 4-2 to No. 47 Oklahoma (9-2, 0-0 Big 12) on Friday evening at the Headington Family Tennis Center.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • The home side jumped out to an early advantage in doubles, jumping out to early breaks and taking the first match.
  • However, the Toreros rallied at No. 2 and No. 3 doubles, as Savriyan Danilov and Lambert Ruland recovered to win five of their next seven games and Stian Klaassen and Oliver Tarvet rallied to win a tiebreaker and put the Toreros ahead 1-0.
  • However, the Sooners would bring early energy to singles that forced the Toreros into yet another hole.
  • Oklahoma earned their first point in sixth singles, but the remaining five matches would all go three sets.
  • A pair of 6-3 wins in the third set at No. 2 and No. 5 singles put Oklahoma on the brink, but the Toreros started to rally.
  • Klaassen earned a key break in the second set and won, which powered him to a 6-2 third set and San Diego's second point.
  • Tarvet and Iiro Vasa would both force a third set tiebreaker, but Oklahoma was able to win one while Vasa stood at 5-5 in his tiebreaker.
 
NEXT UP
  • The Toreros will return to action on Sunday, traveling to Stillwater, Okla., to face No. 26 Oklahoma State for an 11 a.m. match.
