The Red Storm keeps its third-straight opponent off the scoresheet; improve to 6-0 on the year
QUEENS, N.Y. (Jan. 29, 2020) – The St. John's men's tennis team picked up its sixth win of the 2020 campaign with a 5-0 sweep over Drexel Wednesday afternoon at the USTA National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows, N.Y.
Wednesday's victory marks the third-consecutive match that the men's tennis program has prevented its opponent from winning a single contest.
The Red Storm clinched the opening point in doubles play by winning all three of its bouts for the fifth time this season. Ognjen Trejgut and Ignacio Garcia started the afternoon with a victory in the No. 1 doubles slot, edging Drexel's Alvaro Cruz Chomorro and Djordje Janackovic, 6-2. Giuseppe De Camelis and Charlie James secured the first point of the afternoon for the Johnnies as they knocked off Xandy Hammitt and Juan Manuel Sanchez on the No. 2 court, 6-4. Udayan Bhakar and Aditya Vashistha picked up St. John's third doubles triumph, defeating Drexel's No. 3 duo Gustav Wogen and Hugo Brungs, 6-3.
The Red Storm continued its impressive play, cruising to the 5-0 win over the Dragons by taking eight of the nine sets in singles play. Tregjut, the senior from Belgrade, Serbia, secured his second singles triumph of the season, defeating Drexel's No. 3 Djordje Janackovic, 7-5, 6-1.
James also needed an extra point to claim the first set of his singles tilt with Alvaro Cruz Chamorro. The sophomore from Stamford, England, wrapped up his match on the No. 6 court in straight sets, 7-5, 6-4.
Bhakar, this week's BIG EAST Men's Tennis Athlete of the Week, gave the Johnnies their third singles triumph of the day, bouncing Gustav Wogen in the No. 2 slot, 6-3, 6-4.
De Camelis sealed the victory for Red Storm in the third set of his No. 5 matchup, narrowly edging Juan Manuel Sanchez, 6-3, 3-6, 10-3. Vashishta and Garcia's singles matches went unfinished in the No. 1 and 4 slots, respectively.
The undefeated Johnnies will travel to Tucson, Ariz., for two matches on Friday, Jan. 31 and Saturday, Feb. 1 against No. 25 Arizona and Cal Poly.
