COLUMBIA, S.C. – Texas A&M Men's Tennis picked up eight wins on the first day of the Gamecock Scramble Friday at the Carolina Tennis Center. Teams joining the Aggies throughout the weekend's tournament are Wake Forest, Florida State, Presbyterian College and host-South Carolina.
"I thought we had a solid day against some really good players," Texas A&M head coach Steve Denton said. "Noah [Schachter] continues to impress with a straight set win against a quality opponent. He continues to gain confidence in his new role as leader of the team. I like the attitude and fight of this team, we just need to put our heads down and compete and good things will happen."
The Aggies posted a half dozen wins in singles action on Friday, claiming wins over opponents from Presbyterian and Wake Forest. No. 62 Noah Schachter and Giulio Perego posted wins for the Aggies against Demon Deacons singles players. Schachter toppled Taha Baadi in straight-sets followed by Perego's triumph over Juan Lopez de Azcona 6-3, 1-6, 6-3.
A&M's Anish Sriniketh posted the first tally in the win column as he topped Sebastian Domingueuz of Presbyterian. Kenner Taylor, Raphael Perot and Austin Abbrat joined Sriniketh with victories over Presbyterian student-athletes. Taylor defeated Nicholas McKinney in three-sets, Perot bested Dusan Milanovic and Abbrat ousted Max Benson.
In doubles matches, the A&M duo of Sriniketh and Rahul Dhokia claimed a tiebreaker in over McKinney and Dominguez of Presbyterisn while Matthis Ross and Perego picked up a tiebreaker win of their own against John Bernard and Bryn Nahrung of Florida State.
