CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Playing in their third Fall event of the season, the Davidson men's tennis team traveled just a few miles down the road to compete in the Charlotte 49er Fall Invitational over the weekend of Oct. 28-30.
Eight different Wildcats competed in both the singles and doubles draws against a number of teams.
In singles action, Matthew Rose won the consolation side of the C1 singles bracket. After falling in his first match, the freshman scored an easy 6-1, 6-1 win against a Bluefield opponent. Rose then scored a 6-3, 7-5 victory against his UNCG opponent, setting up a match against Shaaz Perrani of Troy, whom he gave up just three games to in a strong 6-1, 6-2 decision.
The trio of Jordan Hart (B1 singles), J.B. Gough (B2 singles) and Jack Riazzi (B2 singles) each won two singles matches over the weekend. Hart opened up with a 7-5, 6-2 victory against Wofford, but then fell in the next round, 6-3, 6-3, to Troy's Pablo Moreno. The senior took on fellow teammate Tommy Mason in his first consolation match, downing him 6-3, 6-1. Hart's weekend ended with a 6-1, 6-2 setback in his final match.
Mason won a three-setter to start his singles run, scoring a 3-6, 6-2, 6-3 win against Charlotte's Josh Aubrey. But he took on fourth-seeded Scotty Cameron of South Carolina in the second round and fell 6-4, 6-0.
Gough won his first match of the weekend with a 6-4, 6-2 triumph against Warren Bryan of UNCG, but dropped a tough three-set match, 0-6, 7-5, 6-4, in the second round to his Georgia State opponent. He regrouped to close out the weekend with a 7-5, 6-4 victory.
The junior Riazzi begin his weekend with a comeback, 3-6, 6-0, 6-3, win against host Charlotte, but fell short in his second round match, 6-4, 6-0, in the B2 singles draw to Troy's Trey Morris. He finished out with a thrilling 7-5, 7-6(5) victory against Winthrop on the consolation side.
In the A2 singles bracket, David Hager earned one win, a 6-1, 6-0 decision against Andy Lau of Troy.
Competing in the A1 singles draw was Ricky Saad and Shamael Chaudhry.
