GoFrogs: M. Tennis Shuts Down No. 8 OSU
Final Stats
FORT WORTH, Texas – The No. 16 TCU men’s tennis team scored its seventh straight win and second straight over a top-10 opponent as they shut down No. 8 Oklahoma State 4-0 to open Big 12 Conference action on Friday night at the Greenwood Tennis Center in Stillwater, Okla.
The Horned Frogs (12-4, 1-0 Big 12) snapped a nine-match winning streak that the Cowboys (17-4, 0-1 Big 12) were riding as they opened the match by securing the doubles point with wins on courts two and three. Trevor Johnson saw his first action this spring as he paired up with Cameron Norrie to score the 6-1 victory on court three to begin the match. The No. 21 pair of Guillermo Nuñez and Alex Rybakov finished off the doubles point by scoring a 6-4 win for the pair’s fourth straight win.
TCU took that momentum into singles action as the three lefties at the top three spots finished off the match in straight sets. After going down 4-1 to start the match, No. 3 Norrie secured win No. 12 of the year and 10th over a ranked opponent as he took out No. 23 Julian Cash, 6-4, 6-2. No. 78 Nuñez followed by downing Lucas Gerch, 6-3, 6-2 and then moments later No. 27 Rybakov clinched the match for the second straight match by downing No. 77 Arjun Kadhe, 6-1, 6-4.
Quotes from the Match
Head Coach David Roditi
“Our boys came to play today. I am very pleased with our performance. Any time you beat a team like Oklahoma State on the road like that means a lot of positive things happened. Our conference is so tough so this is a huge win and a great way to start our conference season. We know each other well and it is always a good battle. The highlight today was to see Trevor Johnson back on the court and playing really good doubles. He's been through a lot and he deserves to smile and to enjoy playing tennis. Obviously our three lefties played extremely well and Guillermo (Nuñez) bounced back nicely after Texas A&M. I thought Reese (Stalder) was playing extremely well and about to possibly beat a player who beat him last time. We have one day to practice indoors since we may have to play indoors at Oklahoma on Sunday.”
