TCU Men’s Tennis Sweeps No. 15 Arizona State in First Round of ITA Indoor Championship
The two-time defending champions, TCU Horned Frogs, took care of business in the first round of the ITA Indoor National Championships with a 4-0 sweep over Arizona State on Friday morning.
The No. 2 TCU Men’s Tennis team advanced to 7-0 on the season with the win that took place inside the UTSA Billy Jean King National Tennis Center in New York. The team will face Texas A&M, the No. 10 seed team, in a quarterfinal dual on Saturday. TCU has now won 32 indoor matches in a row.
TCU's Tomas Jirousek wins his first singles set 7-5 in the first round of the ITA Indoor National Championships. He would go on to win his second set and clinch the dual for the Frogs.
The Frogs hope to three-peat, having won the ITA Indoor National Championship in 2022 and 2023.
"Good start to indoor nationals,” said TCU head coach David Roditi after the dual. “The guys beat Arizona State. We played well and got the doubles points. Sebastian Gorzny got off court 4 and gave the Frogs a lot of opportunities to close it out. I am happy to be a part of this, and hopefully, we can play at the main site at some point; I have heard it is nice. Looking forward to next match against Texas A&M.”
