Men’s Tennis Downed by Tulane in New Orleans
2/23/2024 | Men's Tennis
NEW ORLEANS – Despite some close matchups, Ole Miss men's tennis (4-4, 0-0 SEC) was unable to take down Tulane (1-6, 0-0 AAC) as the Green Wave logged a 5-2 victory in the Rebels' first match of the weekend.
Nikola Slavic came to play after a two week break as he went a perfect 2-0 on the day in the No. 1 slot for both singles and doubles. The senior secured the lone doubles victory for the Rebels with partner Lukas Engelhardt, cruising to a 6-2 win.
In singles, Slavic dominated on the primary court as he garnered a straight set 7-5, 6-4 victory over Tulane's Billy Suarez. The win moves the Stockholm, Sweden, native into a tie for 13th most singles wins in program history. Slavic has tallied 81 career victories in his five years as a Rebel which matches Ole Miss assistant coach Kalle Norberg's count.
Carson Baker was the other Rebel to string together a singles win on the day after a hard-fought 6-3, 7-6 victory over Green Wave Rafael De Alba. This marks the freshman's fifth collegiate singles win, all coming on courts five and six.
Up Next
Ole Miss will remain in The Big Easy to take on New Orleans this Sunday, Feb. 25 at 9 a.m. CT. There will be no live stating or live streaming for the matchup between the Rebels and Privateers.
