Niksa Arsic Leads Red Raiders with Semifinal Run in Singles
FORT WORTH, Texas – The Texas Tech men's tennis team wrapped up a busy weekend at the ITA Texas Regional Championships on Monday, highlighted by a semifinal appearance from Niksa Arsic in singles and a semifinal run by Arsic and Thiago Guglieri in doubles.
Competing in one of the toughest regional fields in the country, Arsic earned three victories over ranked opponents in singles, while the No. 86-ranked doubles pairing of Arsic and Guglieri picked up three wins to advance to the semifinals.
Arsic opened his singles campaign with a dominant 6-3, 6-1 victory over Noey Do before facing No. 46 Bor Artnak in the next round. Arsic delivered a straight set, 7-5, 6-3, upset over his Texas A&M foe to advance, and set up another ranked matchup against No. 97 Lucas Marionneau. Continuing his strong form, Arsic earned a victory, 7-5, 6-4, and punched his ticket to the quarterfinals.
The Red Raider continued his strong form in the quarterfinals against No. 93 Albert Pedrico Kravtsov, winning the opening-set tiebreaker before closing out the match with a 6-1 second set. Arsic's singles run ultimately ended in the semifinals against No. 88 Tomasz Berkieta, who earned a 6-2, 6-4 victory.
Arsic and Guglieri carried that momentum into doubles, also advancing to the semifinals after three consecutive victories. The No. 86-ranked pairing opened with an 8-3 win over Drew Hedgecoe and Gordon Gallagher before defeating Lathan Skrobarcek and Alexander Frusina, 8-4. The duo secured its third victory with an 8-4 decision over Roger Ferra Pascual and Kaj Quirjins to book a place in the semifinals.
Their run ultimately came to an end against the nation's No. 6-ranked pairing of TCU's Albert Pedrico Kravtsov and Cooper Woestendick. Arsic and Guglieri took the opening set, 6-3, but the opposing duo responded to win the second set, 6-1, before claiming the deciding match tiebreaker, 10-6.
Felipe Pagnacco also collected a pair of singles victories in the main draw, including a notable win over No. 70 Abel Forger. After dropping the opening set against Forger, Pagnacco rallied to claim a 4-6, 6-3, 6-3 victory. He also opened his tournament with a three-set win over Nickel Leon, 4-6, 6-3, 6-1, before falling to No. 94 Erik Schiessl, 6-2, 7-5.
In qualifying action, Thomas Van Den Dooren opened the weekend with a 7-6(8), 6-2 win over Camille Chantron to stamp his name into the main draw. Despite falling in the opening round of action, Van Den Dooren later added a 6-4, 6-2 victory over Ivo Isqueiro in the singles consolation draw.
The Red Raiders picked up additional wins in the singles consolation draw, with Miguel Angel Machado defeating Victor Alvares De Castro Rocha, 6-2, 6-2, and Guglieri earning a 6-3, 6-4 victory over Dennis Dutine.
In other doubles action, Machado and Pagnacco advanced past No. 72 Petro Kuzmenok and Tommy Czaplinski, winning an 8-7(4) tiebreak to secure the victory. Ludovico Vaccari and Imran Daniel Hazli also earned a main-draw win, defeating Enzo Tafarelo and Dmitri Goubin, 8-3.
