SEPT. 8 UPDATE:
The first day Sun Devil men's tennis players took to the court since the spring of 2008 resulted in a solid Friday at the Claremont USTA Futures Classic held at the Claremont Club in California.
"These guys have had some success on the professional circuit so this is nothing new to them. They play tournaments like this, and it helps their confidence and allows them to realize they can chase their dreams of professional tennis at Arizona State," notes Coach HIll.
Freshman William Kirkman defeated Connor Rapp 7-6 (7), 6-3, and now will face Marnix Pluim.
Sophomore Makey Rakotomalala topped Hong-Lin Fu in two sets (6-2, 6-2) and will now face Tanner Smith of USC.
Sophomore Tim Ruehl defeated Ryan Van de Water (6-2, 6-2) and now will face Piers Foley.
Ronan Joncour and Michael Geerts will compete in the main draw that begins over the weekend.
