Blue Demons open first day of ITA Midwest Regionals at XS Tennis Village
CHICAGO – In the program's first ITA Midwest Regional as host, DePaul men's tennis turned in impressive performances, advancing two entrants into the main draw on Friday following consecutive victories by Andy Hadziabdic and Tobias Leitner. With their performances, DePaul is one of just five schools to secure five or more competitors in the singles main draw among the 17 competing programs in one of the nation's most challenging regions.
In an action-packed Thursday opener that stretched nearly 12 hours, 64 players competed for 16 spots in the main singles draw of the ITA Regional. The Blue Demons opened the round by earning wins in three of six matches.
Newcomer Augusto Pardo Cano took down Western Michigan's Dimitri Moriarty, 6-3, 7-5, marking the first Blue Demon win in the five-day tournament. Hadziabdic followed with a straight-set victory of his own, 6-1, 6-3, over Toledo's Cole Cozens. In an impressive come-from-behind effort, Leitner battled to a 6-7(7), 6-1, 7-5 win over another Rocket, Sergio Alejandro Gonzalez.
A consolation victory from Sven Moser pushed DePaul's win total to four before Leitner and Hadziabdic secured dominant straight-set wins to advance to the main draw. The sophomore duo posted scores of 6-0, 6-2 (Leitner) and 6-1, 7-6(0) (Hadziabdic), respectively.
