KEY BISCAYNE, Fla. – University of Texas men’s tennis earned a combined 6-5 record in singles and doubles competition on the second day of the Key Biscayne Invitational at the Tennis Center at Crandon Park.

The Longhorns notched a 5-3 record in singles against LSU and a 1-2 record in doubles against Denver.

“There were a handful of matches that we didn’t finish well in but overall I was encouraged by our energy and poise today,” head coach Michael Center said. “Andrew [Korinek] keeps playing very well in singles.”

After two days of action in Florida, the freshman Korinek is in contention for the singles title with a 2-0 record. Korinek defeated Tam Trinh (LSU) in two sets on Monday, 7-6, 6-0. Sudanwa Sitaram, No. 43 Daniel Whitehead, Alex Hilliard and Joey Swaysland earned wins against LSU.

The doubles team of Ben Chen and Joey Swaysland also improved to 2-0 with a victory over Alex Clinkenbeard and Max Krammer (Denver), 8-4. UT’s two ranked doubles teams – No. 41 Hilliard/Korinek and No. 40 Sitaram/Whitehead – were edged in the final set of their respective matches.
