The University of Memphis Tigers men's tennis team kept their perfect record intact Sunday, sweeping the Murray State Racers 7-0 to improve to 5-0 on the season.
The Tigers began by winning all the doubles matches. Senior Leon Nasemann and sophomore Johnny Grimal made quick work of Jose Berardo and Dylan Gerlach with an 8-0 victory. Freshman David O'Leary and senior David Henry then defeated Tyler Jeffers and Max McLean 8-1 to capture the doubles point for the Tigers.
Tiger sophomores David O'Hare and Joe Salisbury rounded out the doubles matches with an 8-4 win to give Memphis a clean sweep of 3-0 in doubles.
The Tigers were just as dominating in the singles matches. Grimal was up midway through the second set, when Berardo retired. That victory was followed up with victories by Henry, Nasemann, O'Leary, O'Hare, and sophomore Cedric De Zutter to give Memphis wins in all six of the singles matches. Memphis now ranks No. 43 nationally.
The Tigers now have two weeks to prepare for a tough road trip to Nashville to take on the 34th ranked Vanderbilt Commodores. Match time is set for Friday, Feb. 17 at 2 p.m.
