Winning seems to be second nature for the Saint Leo men’s tennis team. The now No. 7 team upended nonconference opponent, Southern Indiana, 9-0 Monday at the Saint Leo Tennis Center.
The win now brings the Lions to an impressive 4-0 record, giving them a perfect start to the season. The Lions continue to dominate in their doubles play as they continue to rack up the wins.
Thomas Grinberg and Vincent Suillerot took No. 1 in doubles with an 8-6 victory. This was followed strongly by Jamie Bueno and Willem Van Den Akker’s 8-2, No. 2 doubles win. However, the winning didn’t stop there as Bruno Babic and James Defusto won No. 3 doubles 8-6.
Doubles games are not the only strong point of this team as they continue to win singles matches, as well. In game one, Grinberg put up a 6-1, 6-0 win and was followed by game two with Suillerot showcasing a perfect match; he shut his opponent out winning 6-0, 6-0. Bueno’s games were a little closer as he pulled out a 6-1, 7-5 win, all while Francisco Aparicio turned in a 6-1 and 6-0 victory.
Finally, Willem Van Den Akker cleaned up by earring a 6-4, 6-1 victory. The Lions are making winning look easy as they continue to steam roll their opposition. However, it was made known by the coaching staff that these wins are not to be taken lightly, and only hard work will help them keep this streak alive.
