FRESNO, Calif. - The University of Nevada men's tennis team won four matches at the Bulldog Classic Saturday, with two players advancing to the finals within their respective draws.
"It is always our team goal to finish well," head coach Erik Burton said. "With two men in the finals of their brackets we are meeting that goal this weekend."
Team captain Wessim Derbel advanced to the finals of the main B draw with two victories, the second of which coming in dramatic fashion. Falling behind one set to zero to Jeff Mullen of Oregon, Derbel came back to win the second and third sets by scores of 6-3 and 6-4 respectively.
Victor Ouvrard made his way into the finals of the consolation bracket in the main A draw by way of a straight set win (6-4, 7-5) over Jacob Hartwig of San Francisco.
