Medica reaches round of 16 in Milwaukee; Vialle secures first collegiate win
MILWAUKEE/SOUTH BEND – DePaul men's tennis continued its fall campaign with a split-site weekend at the Milwaukee Tennis Classic and Notre Dame Invitational, Sept. 25-28, combining for nine singles victories and three doubles wins across the two tournaments. Sophomore Sebastian Medica reached the round of 16 in Milwaukee, while freshman Bernardo Vialle recorded his first career victory in South Bend.
Milwaukee Tennis Classic
Medica highlighted DePaul's run in Milwaukee by advancing to the round of 16. After grinding out a first-set tiebreak against UIC's Emil Dapcevic, he advanced on a retirement to book his place in the third round.
The Blue Demons added depth throughout the lineup, with sophomore Thomas Giles dominating Mokhles of UIC 6-0, 6-2, and Andy Hadziabdic collecting two wins, including a gritty three-set comeback against UIC's Nikola Savic. Tobias Leitner opened DePaul's weekend with a straight-sets win over Mokhles, while Alejandro Gandini claimed a commanding 6-3, 6-0 victory over Navy's Daniel Kim. Sven Moser chipped in a 6-3, 6-2 win over Marquette's Ray Wong.
In doubles, Moser/Giles carried momentum with two victories, while Gandini/Medica and Leitner/Hadziabdic each picked up wins against Oregon and Navy, respectively.
Notre Dame Invitational
In South Bend, Vialle earned his first collegiate victory on day two, taking down Notre Dame's Noah Becker 6-3, 3-6, 10-5. The freshman nearly doubled his tally the same day, pushing Western Michigan's Moriarty to a deciding tiebreak before falling 10-5.
Augusto Pardo Cano and Elias Anwar battled through opening-day tiebreaks against Notre Dame opponents, showing flashes in their season debuts. The doubles teams of Pardo Cano/Vialle and Anwar/Vialle both pushed Irish pairings into close sets.
