PhotosNORMAN – The 10th-ranked Oklahoma men's tennis team fell 5-2 to No. 51 Arkansas Sunday afternoon at the Headington Family Tennis Center. The Razorbacks (7-2) took the doubles point and then grabbed singles wins on courts one, four and five to clinch the match.
"Arkansas played a great match," head coach John Roddick said. "They are a really good team and they deserve credit. We have to refocus, come back tomorrow and play much better against Memphis."
Oklahoma (6-4) started strong in doubles, with freshman Andre Biro and senior Austin Siegel grabbing a break early on court three, and senior Axel Alvarez and sophomore Spencer Papa jumping out to a 4-0 lead at the number two spot. It wasn't enough however, as Arkansas would rally to win the match at number three, giving Biro and Siegel their first loss of the year, and then took a close match at number one doubles to secure the opening point.
Arkansas extended its lead to 2-0 with a win from Adam Sanjurjo at number five singles. He took down OU freshman Maxime Mora 6-0, 6-4. Oklahoma then leveled the dual at 2-all with a pair of straight-sets wins from Biro and junior Alex Ghilea. Biro won 6-3, 6-4 over Will Albanese at six singles while Ghilea took down Santiago Munoz 6-2, 6-2 at the three spot.
With the match level, Arkansas held the advantage having won first sets on the remaining three courts. The Sooners did their best to send those matches to a third set, but Alvarez fell 7-0 in a tiebreaker in the second at the top singles spot, and junior Florin Bragusi gave up a late break in the second to fall on court four. Bragusi's loss clinched the dual for Arkansas.
Oklahoma will be back in action Monday as they host No. 17 Memphis at 2 p.m. CT at the Headington Family Tennis Center. Weather permitting the match will be played outdoors. As always admission is free.
