ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN - The University of Minnesota Men's Tennis team fell 6-1 to No. 19 Michigan Saturday. The Gophers lone point came from junior Stefan Milicevic with his 7-6, 6-7 11-9 win in No. 2 singles over No. 53 Mattias Siimar.
"Today was our first time outside in some windy conditions. Different brand of tennis than we've been used to playing the last four months, and I believe it affected our performance," head coach Geoff Young said. "Michigan deserves credit as they definitely competed great and showed no signs of doubt."
DOUBLES
Michigan came out hot with their impressive play in doubles. Josip Krstanovic and Sebastian Vile fell 6-2 in No. 3 doubles, while Stefan Milicevic and Marino Alpeza fell 6-1 in No. 2 doubles. Jackson Allen and Eli Ogilvy were trailing 5-4 in No. 1 doubles upon clinch.
SINGLES
Michigan took the first five points in singles, four coming in straight sets. Josip Krstanovic fell 6-2, 6-1 in No. 1 singles, while Vlad Lobak lost 6-3, 6-1 in No. 5 singles. Then, Marino Alpeza lost 7-5, 6-4 in No. 3 singles and Eli Ogilvy lost 6-4, 6-3 in No. 6 singles. Jackson Allen lost his first set in No. 4 singles 4-6, but dominated the second set, winning 6-1. Allen eventually fell in three sets, with a final score of 6-4, 1-6, 6-4. Stefan Milicevic grinded through a win in No. 2 singles to end the dual, with a 7-6, 6-7, 11-9 win over No. 53 Mattias Siimar.
