CHAMPAIGN, Ill. – Baylor men’s tennis’ Adrian Boitan, Tadeas Paroulek and Matias Soto competed in the NCAA Individuals singles competition on Monday at the Khan Outdoor Tennis Complex, with Paroulek moving on into the round of 32.

THE RUNDOWN
Senior Soto and sophomore Paroulek were the first Bears to hit the courts. Soto finished first, being bested by LSU’s Ronnie Hohmann, 6-2, 6-4. He didn’t go down without a fight, as he pushed for a comeback late in the second set. Soto completes his singles career at Baylor with a 16-12 record for the 2022 season and a career record of 87-44.

Paroulek looked as if he’d win it handily in his second set with Ohio State’s James Trotter started to claw back his way. Paroulek fought him off and won, 6-4, 6-4 over the Buckeye.

Boitan and Diallo kept step for step with each other throughout each game in the first set, but Diallo kept the points. The same was true for the second set. Boitan battled with the Wildcat, but just didn’t capture the point. The junior fell, 6-3, 6-2, to Diallo. Boitan finishes the season with a 21-4 record for the season overall and a career record of 67-19.

UP NEXT
Times have yet to be announced for both the second day of singles competition and the first day of doubles competition on Tuesday, May 24.

Two doubles pairs will compete in the green and gold for the round of 32, with No. 3 seed Finn Bass and Sven Lah facing Jordan Chrysostom and Ryan Fishback of Virginia Tech and pair Juan Pablo Grassi Mazzuchi and Soto facing Justin Boulais and James Trotter of Ohio State.

Going into Tuesday, Bass and Lah are 17-7 in dual play and 23-10 for the season. Grassi Mazzuchi and Soto are 21-6 overall.
