FORT WORTH, Texas —\u00a0The 29th-ranked Cornell men’s tennis team saw its season come to a close with a 4-0 loss to No. 2 TCU\u00a0on Saturday afternoon in the second round of the NCAA Tournament at the Bayard H. Friedman Tennis Center. The Big Red finished the year at 19-4, while TCU improved to 23-5 and advances to the NCAA regional semifinals next weekend.<\/p>\n

Cornell was edged in a tightly contested doubles point that proved pivotal. After falling at No. 1 doubles, the Big Red responded behind the pairing of freshman Rethin Pranav Senthil Kumar<\/a> and sophomore Rushil Khosla<\/a>, who earned a 6-4 victory over TCU’s No. 42-ranked tandem at the No. 2 position. The point came down to court three, where junior Felipe Pinzon<\/a> and senior Petar Teodorovic<\/a> battled before dropping a 7-5 decision, giving the Horned Frogs a 1-0 lead.<\/p>\n

In singles play, TCU secured straight-set wins at Nos. 5, 6 and 4 to clinch the match, but the scoreline belied several competitive efforts from the Big Red across the remaining courts.<\/p>\n

At the top spot, Rodrigo Fernandes<\/a> pushed No. 8 Duncan Chan in the opening set before holding a second-set lead prior to the match’s conclusion. At No. 3, Petar Teodorovic<\/a> took the opening set and led in the second against Cooper Woestendick, ranked No. 55 nationally..<\/p>\n

Despite the result, Cornell capped one of the most successful seasons in program history, highlighted by an Ivy League championship, a 14-1 stretch to close the regular season, a first round NCAA victory for the fourth straight year\u00a0and double-digit wins over ranked opponents.
