TULSA, Okla. — Pepperdine men's tennis players Maxi Homberg and Chris Papa completed their stints at the Intercollegiate Tennis Association All-American Championships, held in Tulsa, Okla. on Tuesday.

Homberg and Papa won their first-round doubles match against Arkansas' Jakub Vrba and Benedikt Emesz 6-4, 3-6, 1-0 (11), yet fell in a narrow, three-set match to Duke's 88th-ranked duo of Sam Landau and Andreja Petrovic 6-4, 5-7, 1-0 (7). The latter match was Homberg and Papa's second against a nationally ranked team this season.

In the first round of the qualifying singles draw, #103 Homberg outlasted Mehdi Benchakroun of UCF 6-7 (4), 7-6 (5), 6-4 in a match played indoors. Despite being down a break early in the third set, Homberg rallied back for his first singles win of fall play. However, #103 Homberg's run in the qualifying draw ended with a straight-set loss to #64 Miguel Perez Pena of Georgia on Tuesday. That match was Homberg's third against a nationally ranked singles opponent in the fall season so far.

From here, the Waves head to the Milwaukee Tennis Classic, which starts Friday and runs through Sunday.
