Waves Win First Mach of the Season Against UT Arlington

ARLINGTON, Texas — Winning its first match of the season, the Pepperdine men's tennis team beat UT Arlington 5-2 indoors at Styslinger/Altec Tennis Complex, located in Dallas, Texas on Wednesday.

In the first-ever meeting between the two teams, the Waves (1-1) won four singles matches in straight-sets, then sophomore Edward Winter capped off the match with a 6-1, 6-7, 6-1 victory in his season debut. 

The Mavericks won the doubles point with wins on courts two and three, however, Pepperdine's duo of Edward Winter and his younger brother Hugh Winter provided a 6-4 win for the Waves atop the doubles lineup.

Pepperdine rebounded in singles with convincing wins across the board. Four of Pepperdine's five singles wins were in straight-sets.

Playing at the second position, Linus Carlsson Halldin picked up his first win of the spring season with a 6-3, 6-1 decision over Pedro Sasso.

The Waves also saw true freshmen Lasse Poertner, Aleksa Pisaric and David Fix win their first collegiate singles matches lower in the lineup. Poertner beat Andres Medus 6-1, 6-3 at the third position; Pisaric beat Federico Garbero 6-2, 6-3 on court four; and Fix beat Daniel Perez-Caraballo 6-2, 6-3 on court six.
