Tulsa, Okla. – For the first time in his career Lobo Max Jones has failed to advance through a draw at the ITA All-American Tennis Championships. Jones fell in the second round today to Nejc Smole of Denver 6-4, 7-6(3).
Last year Jones won three straight matches to advance to the main draw before falling in the round of 64.
Jones also competed with fellow Lobo Kamil Pajkowski in the first round of the doubles qualifying tournament today. The 50th ranked duo fell however to Gubic/Vujaklija of Wichita State 8-5.
Jones, Pajkowski, and Parkes may still compete in the consolation draws later this week. New Mexico’s next scheduled matches will take place this weekend as the team hosts the Balloon Fiesta Invitational at the UNM Tennis Complex.
