OXFORD, Miss. - The Ole Miss men's tennis team wrapped up its first weekend of the fall season with everyone getting plenty of matches in at both tournaments and the Rebels winning the doubles title at the Cajun Classic in Lafayette, Louisiana.
Cajun Classic
It was an all Ole Miss final in the doubles final at the Cajun Classic, with senior Stefan Lindmark teaming up with freshman Filip Kraljevic to top teammates, junior Vinod Gowda and sophomore Grey Hamilton, 6-4, 6-3 Sunday. In singles, Lindmark, ranked No. 44 in the nation, reached the quarterfinals before losing to Georgia's Paul Oosterbaan. Kraljevic nearly won his first round, falling 6-4 in the third to TCU's Trevor Johnson. The freshman did pick up a win over ULL senior Jake Wynan in the consolation, 6-4, 7-6(5).
Quoting Head Coach Toby Hansson
"It was nice to see us finish strong with two teams in the final of the doubles. We also got a lot out of our singles matches this weekend. We saw some good things from all of the guys. This was a perfect warmup tournament for the All-American next week. The tournament provided us with really nice hospitality the entire weekend. We want to thank our housing families Patrick and Lynn Trahan and Missy Theriot for taking great care of our guys. It was a good weekend all around, and we hope to be invited back again next year."
Georgia Tech Invitational
The rest of the squad headed to Atlanta, Georgia for the Georgia Tech Invitational. The Rebels earned 10 wins there in singles and doubles, including freshman Fabian Fallert reaching the semifinals in his draw, before losing a tight match to UNCW's Javier Restrepo, 6-3, 7-6(5). He finished 3-1 after beating Middle Tennessee's Michael Appel 6-2, 6-1 Sunday. Gustav Hansson finished 2-1 as did Zvonimir Babic.
Quoting Assistant Coach Taylor Vaughn
"They guys had a good weekend. We needed matches and got plenty of them. I am happy with our performance, especially the way we finished on the final day."
