Duke Concludes Time at ITA All-American Championships

TULSA, Okla. – Senior Garrett Johns and freshman Pedro Rodenas concluded their time at the 2022 ITA All-American Championships on Friday at the Michael D. Case Tennis Center on the campus of the University of Tulsa.
 
Johns won his opening match of the day against Alexander Bernard of Ohio State. He defeated Bernard 6-2 in the first set but dropped the second, 4-6. He rebounded in the third frame for an impressive 6-0 victory to advance to the quarterfinals.
 
In the quarterfinal match, Texas’ Eliot Spizzirri registered a 6-3 win in the opening set, but Johns battled back to record a 6-4 victory in the second to force a third frame. Unfortunately, Spizzirri tallied a 6-4 win in the last set to advance to Saturday’s semifinals.
