COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Members of the Tennessee Tech tennis
team notched wins in both singles and doubles play over the weekend
at two different tournaments. Two Golden Eagles played at the
Alabama Crimson Tide Invitational and two played at the Carolinas

In Tuscaloosa, Ezequiel Gils claimed a win in singles, then teamed
with Alejandro Augusto to capture two victories in the doubles
draw.
In singles, Gils dropped his first match to Rens van der Vis of
Alabama, 7-5, 6-4, before bouncing back to defeat Simon Bardell of
West Alabama, 7-6 (3), 6-3, in the consolation side of the bracket.
He was eliminated with a 6-1, 6-4 loss to Juan Escobar of Southern
Miss.
Augusto was topped by Daniel Leitner of South Alabama in his only
singles contest of the tournament.
In the doubles draw, Gils and Augusto opened with an impressive
8-5 victory over Ian Van Cott and Takuma Ohashi of Tulane. The pair
fell to Stuart Kenyon and Brian Conlon of Alabama, 8-4, before
bowing out.
At the Carolinas Invitational, Vasily Eremeev won three of his
contests and captured third place in the Division I singles draw.
Eremeev opened with a 6-3, 6-3 win over Adam Knuttson of Gardner
Webb, then topped Matt Waissen of Asheville, 5-7, 6-4, 6-2. He lost
a 6-3, 6-3 match to Lucas Santana (the eventual winner of the
bracket), then fought back to claim a tough, 2-6, 6-1, 6-4 win over
Adrien Rossignon of Campbell for third place.
Artem Tarasov, also playing in the Division I draw, was edged by
Rossignon in his first singles match, 6-2, 6-3, then fell to Yuta
Hirakawa of Winthrop, 6-1, 6-5. In the consolation backet, Nikita
Zverkov of Gardner Webb and Ben Barnette of South Carolina both
claimed wins over Tarasov.
Eremeev and Tarasov teamed up in doubles action, losing to
Barnette and Harry Menzies of South Carolina, 8-0, to begin the
tournament. They came back to top Dylan Comerford and Peter
Nagovnak of Winthrop, before losing to Brett Lenegard and Nathan
