The Johnnies drop the first of two road matches in Tennessee this weekend.
Murfreesboro, Tenn. – The St. John's men's tennis (4-3) team lost a tough contest on the road Friday evening to Middle Tennessee, 5-2, in Murfreesboro, Tenn.
In doubles action, the Red Storm and the Blue Raiders traded wins in the No. 1 and No. 2 matches. After Charlie James and Alan Nunez Aguilera dropped their match, 6-3, in the No. 1 match, Luka Sucevic and Andrei Crapcenco forced a decisive third match for the doubles point, winning the No. 2 match, 6-3.
The duo of Aditya Vashistha and Ognjen Trejgut fought to the very end in their match but came up just short of gaining the doubles point for the Johnnies, falling 7-6(3).
Defending Co-BIG EAST Player of the Week and the No. 87 ITA collegiate ranked player in the nation, Alan Nunez Aguilera, earned a well-deserved point for the Johnnies, defeating Middle Tennessee's Tom Moonen, 4-6, 7-5, 10-4, in the No. 3 match.
The second point of the evening for the Red Storm came in the No. 5 match as Dusan Vukicevic defeated Max Rauch, 1-6, 6-2, 6-4.
The Johnnies return to action tomorrow evening in Nashville, Tenn., to take on Lipscomb at 5 p.m.
