ETSU’s tennis duo Diego Iglesias and Alejandro Salazar won their first match during Saturday’s pre-qualifying round of the 2002 Icy Hot/ITA All-American Championships at The Champions Club in Chattanooga. However, the doubles team was eliminated from the tournament following a tough loss in the round of 32.
Iglesias/Salazar defeated Tom Murray/Steve Timperly of Tulsa 9-8 in a 7-0 tiebreaker to advance out of the round of 64. But the pair couldn’t get past Johan Burg/Daniel Langre of Southern California, the defending national team champions, losing 8-2.
The Buccaneers next event will be Oct. 18-20, when the team travels to Columbia, S.C., for the South Carolina Gamecock Invitational.
