Six players combined for 14 singles wins at the event in Tulsa.
Florida men’s tennis wrapped a busy week of competition at the ITA All-American Championships in Tulsa, Okla.
JanMagnus Johnson and Jeremy Jin both made a run through the singles qualifying draw with three wins in two days on Monday and Tuesday to advance to main draw action. Though both fell to higher-ranked foes in main draw action Wednesday, Jin picked up an impressive three-set win vs. 16th-ranked Pierre-Yves Bailly of Texas in consolation action on Thursday. That victory gave the Australian freshman four ranked wins in four days while competing in his first collegiate event.
Among 128 players competing in the qualifying draw for 16 main draw slots, all five Gators made it to the final qualifying round (32 players) and the Florida five combined for a 12-3 record during qualifying.
The Gators get right back to action next week, as the team heads to Atlanta for the ITA Southeast Regional hosted by Georgia Tech in Atlanta from Oct. 12-16.
