ANN ARBOR, Mich. - DePaul doubles opened the ITA Midwest Regional Championships with a pair of wins Friday at Michigan's Varsity Tennis Center.
Alex Galoustian and Conor O'Meara began their day with an 8-7(4) victory over the Michigan State team of Josh Mukjerjee and Billy Shisler.
Christopher Casati and Fran Tonejc followed up with their 8-4 triumph over Scott Christian and Brett Meyers of Marquette.
In the second round, Galoustian and O'Meara dropped an 8-4 decision to Ohio State's Matt Mendez and Hunter Tubert. Casati and Tonejc fell to Georg Lundkvist and Eric Marbach of Northern Illinois 8-4.
Boris Spanjaard and Luuk Wassenaar lost 8-4 in the opening round to Alex Brown and Zeke Clark of Illinois.
In qualifying singles play Friday, Spanjaard lost 6-4, 6-4 to Michigan State's Michael Dube, but advanced to Saturday's main draw. One of the main draw participants withdrew from the competition and Spanjaard replaced him by virtue of being the highest seed to have lost in the final round of qualifying.
Spanjaard and Galoustian will be part of the main draw singles field that begins competition at 7 a.m. Saturday.
