No. 14 Aggies Upset the No. 8 Wildcats, 4-2
Feb 16, 2025 | Men's Tennis
DALLAS – The No. 14 Texas A&M men's tennis team upset the No. 8 Kentucky Wildcats to round out play at ITA National Team Indoors Championships at the Styslinger/Altec Tennis Complex on Sunday.
Texas A&M (5-3) started the day strong against Kentucky (7-3), with Theo Papamalamis and Togan Tokac making quick work on court 1 against Jaden Weekes and Martin Breysach, 6-1. The Wildcats then moved on to claim court 2. It all came down to Luke Casper and JC Roddick in a thrilling tiebreaker, coming out with the win, 7-6 (2) and giving the Aggies the all-important doubles point.
Once in singles, the Wildcats countered with a pair of wins on courts 2 and 3 to take a 2-1 lead.
Togan Tokac continued his strong play while knotting the match at 2-2 by securing a straight set win on court 5 against Matthew Rankin, 7-6 (1), 6-3.
At court 6, Ritesh Patil split the first two sets and then came back with a vengeance in the third to defeat Martin Breysach, 6-2, 2-6, 6-3.
Tiago Pires provided the winning margin for the Aggies, rallying from a first-set loss to clinch the match with a 3-6, 6-1, 6-1 over Eli Stephenson on court 4
Up Next
The Aggies are back at home, opening SEC play against LSU on Feb. 22.
COACH'S QUOTES
Head coach Steve Denton on the grit of the team…
"I think we showed a lot of Aggie fight today. We faced a lot of adversity in this match. Kentucky is a tough-minded team that knows how to win tight matches, but our guys dug deep and found a way to overcome some deficits. These guys really care about each other, and I thought that made a big difference today in turning around a couple of matches."
