KANSAS TENNIS
Tennis team eager for tournament win
There's little doubt that the Kansas men's tennis team is the overwhelming favorite heading into the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Region V Championships in Tuhsa this weekend.
The Jayhawks swept both the singles and doubles crowns at the event last year, and coach Ross Nwachukwu said he expected his players to come into the tournament wearing targets.
"It just means that we're going to have to be ready for other teams to put forth their best performances against us," Nwachukwu said. "I know my guys are ready for the challenge."
The Jayhawks' toughest challenge may be playing against each other. Sophomore Eleazar Magallain captured the singles title a year ago by defeating teammate Rodrigo Echagayar in the finals.
Nwachukwu said his players realized facing each other was a real possibility this weekend.
"I have five players in the draw," Nwachukwu said "In my opinion, they're all favorites to win if they play well."
Echagaray and senior Ed Dus captured the doubles championship last year. Echagaray, Dus and Magallan all will defend their titles when the main draw of the tournament kicks off today.
of the tournament kicks on today.
"We are definitely the team to beat."
Iwachuluw said. "Everyone will want a piece of Kansas."
