1/17/2025 | Men's Tennis
MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Ole Miss men’s tennis remains undefeated in the spring season following a thrilling, 4-3, win over Memphis at the Leftwich Tennis Center on Friday night.
Despite falling behind early in doubles, the Rebels (3-0, 0-0 SEC) remained persistent to earn four gritty singles victories en route to toppling the Tigers (1-1, 0-0).
Down two after losing the doubles point and a singles match, Dakotah Bobo came in clutch by securing his first set in the tiebreaker, 7-6 (7-1). The junior dominated in the following set, putting the first point on the board for the Rebels after a 7-6 (7-1), 6-0 victory.
