Quick starts leads to successful beginning to a weekend in Houston for the Ragin' Cajuns
HOUSTON - The Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Men's Tennis team increased its winning streak to three matches with a solid 4-1 win over Texas A&M-Corpus Christi on Saturday, Feb. 5 at the George R. Brown Tennis Center in Houston on the campus of Rice University.
The Ragin' Cajuns (4-1) raced out to a 3-0 match lead, then put a stop to a potential comeback from the Islanders (5-2) when Vasil Dimitrov closed the deal on Court 5 by claiming a marathon tiebreaker (13-11) in the second set.
Louisiana dominated in doubles, taking the first step to capturing the point with Oriol Fillat Gimenez and Dimitrov teaming up for a 6-1 win on Court 2 followed by the clincher from Karlo Kajin and Alejandro Sanchez Gonzalez with a 6-2 decision on Court 1. Fillat Gimenez and Dimitrov improved to a team-leading 4-1 in doubles play for the season.
Later in singles play it was Fillat Gimenez, who improved to 3-1 in dual match play on the young season, moving the Ragin' Cajuns one step closer to clinching when he out-dueled Pascal Lorieul 7-5 a second time to complete the sweep at No. 3 singles.
The Islanders got on the board with a similar 7-5, 7-5 decision at No. 2 singles, but Dimitrov outlasted Guillermo Castaneda in the lengthy tiebreaker to prevent No. 5 singles from continuing - a key moment was the two teams were even on Courts 1 and 4. Dimitrov (4-1) increased his personal win streak to three games.
