Red Storm concludes its second event of the fall season
St. John's men's tennis players Carl Gustavsson and Martin Bugaj participated in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) All-American Championships this past weekend in Tulsa, Okla.
Both Johnnies competed in the pre-qualifying draw against top collegiate players from across the country at the Michael D. Case Tennis Center.
Gustavsson started off strong on Saturday, taking the first set from Rice's Arthus de la Bassetiere, 6-3, before dropping the next two and the match, 6-2 and 6-1. On Sunday, Gustavsson faced off with Troy's Carles Anton and fell in the match, 6-2 and 6-4.
Bugaj was matched up on day one with Linus Carlsson Halldin out of Pepperdine, falling in straight sets, 6-3 and 6-0. On day two, he faced off against The University of Texas at Arlington's Joan Torres Espinosa. After Espinosa took the first set, Bugaj took the second in convincing fashion, 6-3, to force a winner-take-all final set, where he ultimately fell, 6-0.
The Red Storm will be back in action this weekend at the ITA Regionals beginning Friday in Philadelphia.
