Men's Tennis Falls to Carroll to Open 2024

RACINE, Wis. – The Yellowjacket men's tennis team opened the 2024 portion of its schedule Friday, making the long road trip to the southeast corner of the state to take on Carroll University.
 
The Yellowjackets, who got a lot of early matches in during the fall portion of the schedule, looked to get things off on the right foot Friday, but the Pioneers had other ideas, as Carroll defeated the Yellowjackets 6-3 at the LifeSport Tennis Club.
 
Coupled with their results in the fall, the Yellowjackets have a record of 1-2 on the 2023-24 season.
 
Carroll took the early lead, winning two of the three doubles matches. The Yellowjackets got the win at No. 2 doubles, where Yash Chhabra (Jaipur, Rajasthan/Sanskar School) and Lucca Paladini (Blumenu, Brazil/Colegio Saber) defeated their Carroll counterparts 8-5.
 
Chhabra and Paladini continued their winning ways when things shifted to singles play. Chhabra won at No. 4 singles, defeating Carroll's Ryan LaBelle 6-1, 4-6, 1-0. At No. 5 singles, Paladini took down Carroll's David Eman 6-1, 4-6, 1-0.
 
Match Notes
  • This was the second all-time meeting between UW-Superior and Carroll, with the Yellowjackets earning a 6-3 win over the Pioneers in New Berlin, Wis. last March 4.
  • Four of the six singles matches went three sets.
  • Chhabra earned his singles win with a 10-7 win in the tiebreaker.
  • Paladini also got the win via the tiebreaker, winning a thrilling 13-11 marathon.
  • Igor Guetten Chaves (Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil/Colégio Adventista) and Ren Kurachi (Yokohama, Japan/Yokosuka Gakuin) suffered a defeat at No. 1 doubles, and they each lost their singles matches in straight sets at No. 1 and No. 2 singles, respectively.
  • The No. 3 singles match may have been the best of the day. Yellowjacket Sharan Kanugovi (Bangalore, Karnataka/New Baldwin International School) lost the first set 7-6 after falling in the tiebreaker 7-5. He turned around and won the second set 7-5, before falling 1-0 in the third set, losing the tiebreaker 10-5.
  • Jacob Zacharias (Cambridge, Minn./Cambridge-Isanti) also dropped a three-setter at No. 6 singles. After taking the first set 6-3, Zacharias lost the second set 7-5. Carroll's Jack McCaffery won the tiebreaker 10-5 to take the third set and the match.
