DePaul splits doubleheader in Tempe, Ariz.
TEMPE, Ariz. – DePaul men's tennis wrapped up a doubleheader on Friday night, securing a 4-1 victory over Northern Arizona before falling to No. 24 Arizona State, 4-0, at the Whiteman Tennis Center. The Blue Demons (3-4, 1-0 BIG EAST) earned their third straight victory over the Lumberjacks in the afternoon but could not get past the Sun Devils later in the evening.
In its first outdoor match of the season, DePaul picked up a victory at the No. 2 court to open doubles play, with Matteo Iaquinto and Marko Milosavljevic claiming a swift 6-4 victory. Although the Blue Demons led 6-5 on both the No. 1 and No. 3 courts, Northern Arizona rallied to secure the doubles point with back-to-back 7-6 tiebreak wins.
DePaul quickly took control in singles play. Thomas Giles was first off the court with a commanding 6-1, 6-1 win at No. 6. Tobias Leitner followed at the No. 2 spot, securing a 6-2, 6-3 victory to level the match against ITA No. 77 Piotr Galus. On the No. 4 court, Milosavljevic delivered a dominant 6-3, 6-1 performance, and Pablo Torres Almeida sealed the 4-1 decision with a 7-5, 6-2 result at No. 3.

Roughly one hour later, the Blue Demons returned to the court to take on the 24th-ranked Sun Devils. The ITA No. 55 doubles pairing of Bor Artnak and Matic Dimic controlled the No. 1 court, defeating the reigning BIG EAST Doubles Team of the Week, Leitner and Jona Gitschel, 6-4. DePaul also fell at No. 3 by the same score, giving Arizona State the first point of the match.
In singles, the Sun Devils quickly extended their lead with straight-set wins at No. 5 and No. 1, jumping ahead 3-0. Giles forced a first-set tiebreak at No. 6 but ultimately fell, 7-6(6), 6-2, as Arizona State clinched the match.
Three matches remained unfinished when play was halted. Torres Almeida held a late second-set lead at No. 3, while Milosavljevic was battling in the second set at No. 4. Leitner trailed in the second set at No. 2 before Arizona State secured the overall victory.
