Horned Frogs win five of six singles matches
Jan. 19, 2013
Box Score
SOUTHFIELD, Mich. – TCU’s men’s tennis team started the season on a high note Saturday morning, dropping Detroit, 5-2, at the Franklin Athletic Complex.
The Horned Frogs won their season opener for the third time in head coach David Roditi’s three seasons as head coach. Detroit slipped to 0-3 on the year. TCU, which plays later this evening at Michigan, forfeited the doubles portion of the match.
Five Frogs were winners in singles with four of those coming in straight-set fashion. Sophomore Arnau Dachs built off his solid fall with a 6-3, 6-3 triumph over Detroit’s Alex Latosinsky at No. 1 singles. At No. 2, sophomore Facundo Lugones was a 6-1, 6-4 winner over Pablo Nunez.
Making his spring debut along with Dachs, Rodolfo Bustamante chipped in a 6-3, 6-4 win at the expense of Mike Basha at the third singles spot, while Max Stevens added a 6-3, 6-4 downing of Jay Joshi at No. 5 singles.
Senior Orlando Superlano returned to dual competition after suffering a season-ending knee injury in last year’s season opener to pick up a 3-6, 7-6 (4), 1-0 (9) win at the fourth singles position.
TCU continues play Saturday evening when it travels to No. 20 Michigan. First serve is set for 5 p.m., CST.
