Strong singles and doubles performances propel the Crimson Tide to a successful weekend in Tuscaloosa
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – Alabama men's tennis finished play at their home tournament, the Alabama Four-in-the-Fall on Sunday. The Crimson Tide won all three of its matches over the weekend-long event, capped by a 4-2 win over Georgia Tech on Sunday.Â
Alabama also defeated Tulane, 4-2, on Friday followed by a 5-1 victory over South Carolina on Saturday.
Tuscaloosa native Braden Hannig led the way as he went undefeated in doubles play over the weekend with partners Rohan Hazratwala and Andrii Zimnokh. Meanwhile, Hazratwala also did not drop a match in doubles action over the three matches as he partnered with Antonio Voljavec and Hannig.Â
Coming off an injury this summer, Zimnokh secured his first singles and doubles wins of the season. Yoshka Sborowsky went undefeated in singles over the three matches on the weekend and dropped just one doubles match. Hazratwala clinched the tournament for the Tide winning a hard fought three set match on Sunday.Â
From Head Coach George Husack
"Competing on our home court is a difference maker. Something we do often but didn't have the chance this fall until this weekend. Home is where the heart is and earning the trophies made for the event is special, too. Beyond that, we had a lot to be proud of in the way we competed. A lot of great things happened this weekend. First, it was clear that the last two-plus weeks of training after our regional tournament prepared us well for our match play. Areas we worked on improving were on display from start to finish. Secondly, our doubles performance was really good. We set up our partner many times with effective serves and returns and we constantly hunted for the ball. Third, we were put into tough situations during our match play that challenged our willingness to stay in a point, and our guys showed a lot of battle toughness. It was great to have Andrii competing again. A lot of credit needs to be given to our athletic training, strength/fitness and nutrition staff, not to mention Andrii himself. His presence on court impacts all of us so I'm glad he's back in completion. Furthermore, our freshman duo of Aleksander Blus and Theo Hegarty qualified for the NCAA championships in doubles by defeating opponents at the ITA Sectional in Tallahassee. I'm very happy for this electric combo and grateful for the guidance given by associate head coach Ezequiel Gils and team athletic trainer Elliot Bickerstaff. A lot accomplished and more to come. That's Bama!"
