TUCSON, Ariz. --- Tyler Waddock opened his Lobo career with a 6-0 start, sweeping his way to a doubles title with Jakub Prachar and a singles title in the Charlie Draw to highlight UNM’s opening weekend at the Wildcat Invitational. The Lobos overall went 8-4 in singles and 4-3 in doubles.
Waddock went a perfect 3-0 in singles without dropping a set, and he also went a perfect 3-0 in doubles, teaming with Jakub Prachar. To take the doubles title, Waddock and Prachar rolled through New Mexico State 6-4, UNLV 6-4, and then host Arizona in the final 6-3.
Waddock also took home a singles title in the Charlie Draw, never losing a set. He opened with a 7-6 (7-1), 6-4 win over Patrick Lohmann of New Mexico State before bouncing Denis Maijorov of San Diego State in the semis. That moved him into the finals against a second NMSU Aggie, Roko Stipetic. He won that one with a dominant first set, winning 6-1, 7-5 for the title.
UNM’s Jan Skerbatis won his only singles match before retiring for the weekend, and Prachar went 1-1 in singles. Alberto Perez went 2-1 in singles, and Philip Bosin, the only returner for UNM in the Wildcat Invitational lineup, went 1-2.
