TOLEDO, Ohio  - The Toledo men's tennis team opened their 2020 home season with a 5-2 win over Findlay and a 7-0 clean sweep of Tiffin at Shadow Valley Tennis Club on Friday.
 
"We didn't feel like we had a great week of practice and then we had a few minor health issues come up, but in spite of that today was productive," said head coach Al Wermer. "We did a good job of piling on a talented Tiffin team after we got the lead."  
 
The Rockets kicked off competition with a 5-2 win over Findlay, securing the doubles point with 6-4 victories on the No. 1 and No. 2 courts. The Rockets showed out in singles, with seniors Danilo Vukotic and Thawin Suksathaporn, junior Filip Zupancic, and freshman Krzysztof Wetoszka posting two-set victories over their opponents. 
 
Toledo capped the evening with a 7-0 sweep of Tiffin. Vukotic, Wetoszka, Suksathaporn, Zuapancic, and freshman Max Skaer tallied two-set victories while sophomore Cole Shoults fought in a three-set battle. Shoults fell 1-6 in the first set to Matthew Telford before bouncing back to take the second 6-3, and clinch the third 10-8.
