Ole Miss will have two in singles and two pairs in doubles action
AUBURN, Ala. – Ole Miss Men's Tennis senior Tim Sandkaulen will lead a rookie trio into play Sunday at the ITA Southern Regional at the Yarbrough Tennis Center on the campus of Auburn University.
Sandkaulen, dubbed No. 25 in the ITA Preseason Rankings, entered Saturday's Main Draw as the top seed and certainly lived up to the status, surrendering just one game across 13 for a nearly perfect 6-0, 6-1 decision. He will get a preview of league action, facing Alabama's Zhe Zhou. The two have never faced in competition, despite being SEC seniors. That changes at 9 a.m. Sunday with the Round of 16.
Sandkaulen will also compete in doubles action, pairing up with sophomore Simon Junk to first defeat a Troy pairing 8-3, and then top a duo from New Orleans 8-6. The pair will take on Louisiana's Pearse Dolan and Kacper Dworak in quarterfinals.
Also competing in the doubles bracket is the freshman duo of Lukas Engelhardt and Nikola Slavic, who powered through an opening 8-1 matchup and grinded past league foes Alabama with an 8-7(7) tiebreak.
Slavic, too, remains alive in Main Draw Singles after getting a taste of league play, downing another member of the Crimson Tide in Jeremy Gschwendtner after triumphing in an opening set 7-6(4), and sweeping the finale. Slavic will get another taste of SEC competition Sunday, as he is slated to face Davide Tortora from in-state foes Mississippi State. The two will square off at 9:00 a.m.
Regional doubles champions and regional singles champions and finalists qualify for the season-ending Oracle ITA National Fall Championships.
