Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 ARKADELPHIA, ARKANSAS – It was a huge day for UT Tyler tennis on Sunday afternoon as both teams collected their second wins of the 2023 season against a tough Ouachita Baptist team.
 
The UT Tyler women got off to a strong start thanks to a pair of big wins from doubles pairs Kanika Sivaraman / Tanvikhaa Saravanan and Brooklyn Ross / Violetta Khisamova. The Sivaraman / Saravanan would run out to a 4-0 lead before closing out the match at 6-2. The pair of Ross and Khisamova would never trail themselves as they won 6-1.
 
That gave the doubles point to the Patriots, and the momentum kept rolling for UT Tyler as they completed three quick wins in singles to run away with a 4-0 win.
 
Allison Schwartz has gotten off to an unbelievable start to the dual match season, and she continued her run of form with a pair of 6-1, 6-1 set wins in just 53 minutes.

Despite dropping the doubles point, the Patriots men were able to get hot quickly in singles and completed the comeback win.
 
In those doubles matches, it was Egor Shestakov and Jordi Garcia Portell who put the first match on the board for the Patriots after a 7-5 win. However, the Tigers would claim both of the other doubles matches in tiebreakers as they took down the duos of Gonzalo Fernandez Gil / Joaquin Bianchi and Carel Wessel / Jonas Dixon by narrow margins.
 
With the 1-0 lead in favor of #13 Ouachita Baptist, the Patriots needed to get things going their way quickly to pull off the win. That momentum started directly with Fernandez Gil in the #2 singles slot, and he rolled in straight sets by scores of 6-4, 6-4 to draw the match even at 1-1.
 
Just two minutes later however, Yudai Watanabe fell in straight sets by scores of 6-4, 6-4 to put the Tigers back on top.

That brought the entirety of the match down to the #4 slot, where Wessel took on Matias Parzajuk. After Parzajuk took the opening set by a score of 6-3, Wessel responded with arguably the most dominant tennis of the day, winning the next two sets by scores of 6-1, 6-1 to complete the comeback for UT Tyler.
