Men’s Tennis Finding its Stride at Midway Point

The Georgia Gwinnett College men's tennis team started its busiest stretch of this spring season with a pair of 4-0 victories Saturday at the GGC Tennis Facility. The team has won five straight matches and collected its 10th win of the season.

The Grizzlies (10-1) swept No. 7 William Carey University (Mississippi) before closing out the day with a triumph against Our Lady of the Lake University (Texas) – two matches being played during the next four days.

The hosts rallied to win the doubles point after the nationally ranked Crusaders took a 6-1 victory on the No. 3 court. GGC's No. 1 team of junior Alex Gurmendi and freshman Dhakshineswar Suresh started the rally with a 6-2 triumph. Then, the senior duo of Jose Dugo and Leonardo Sprovieri secured the doubles point with a 6-3 victory in the No. 2 match.

The winning ways carried over into singles. Gurmendi captured 12 of the 13 games on the No. 1 court to give the Grizzlies a 2-0 advantage. Suresh earned a 6-0, 7-5 victory at No. 2 singles for the team's third point.

Freshman Santiago Villarruel clinched the match victory with a 6-1, 6-3 triumph on the No. 4 court.

Later in the day, the Gurmendi-Suresh combination led the team with a 6-1 victory on the No. 1 doubles court. Senior Federico Bonacia and Villarruel clinched the doubles point behind a 6-2 win in the No. 3 match.

Villarruel recorded his second singles win of the day with a 6-1, 6-0 victory against Our Lady of the Lake on the No. 4 court. Suresh gave GGC a 3-0 lead with a 6-3, 6-2 triumph in the No. 2 match. Junior Charly Zick secured the victory with a 6-3, 6-1 victory on the No. 5 court.
 
COACH'S CORNER
"Our matches with William Carey are always intense. Winning the doubles point is key against a good team. Alex and DK (Suresh) helped lead with their play on the No. 1 doubles court. Santiago (Villarruel) is gaining a lot of confidence and starting to come into his own at the midway point of the season," said Head Coach Hannah Keeling.
 
UP NEXT
Georgia Gwinnett College is scheduled to host No. 9 Southeastern University (Florida) on Sunday, March 5, at the GGC Tennis Facility, starting at 1 p.m.
