LAS VEGAS, Nev. — Photos Photiades and David Fix wrapped up action at the M25 Las Vegas over the weekend as men's tennis nears the finish line of the fall slate.
Fix took care of business in the two qualifying draw rounds, defeating Andre Alcantara (6-2, 6-1) before taking down Stiles Brockett (6-4, 6-3), who was a starter for Virginia's NCAA championship squad last season. Fix took Luca Preda to a third set but ultimately came up short (5-7, 6-4, 2-6).
Photiades was electric in the opening round of the qualifying draw, knocking off Pablo Aunion Duran in three sets (6-4, 4-6, 10-6). The Dali, Cyprus native had a challenging match against Noah Johnston, falling in straight sets (4-6, 6-0).
Next on the docket for Pepperdine is the ITA West Sectional Championships and the SoCal Invitational, and ITA Conference Masters, all of which run Nov. 5-8.
