Carlos Gimenez Perez celebrated Senior Day with a pair of straight-set victories on court six against both the Aggies and Gamecocks.

“Quite a day of college tennis where we were required to compete from start to finish. Special day for Carlos in his final home contests. He was ready to go from returning the honorary first serve, from his brother, to closing out both of his matches. Impressive mark left by him today.

“Not all our results are going to give us a point in the win column but what we showed today was a win-win for this team and something to build on moving forward. We battled the Aggies and had to back up our performance against a tough Gamecock squad. Both matches challenged us physically, mentally and emotionally. In the end, we’ve gained so much from this full day. The guys are all in.”
