The Virginia men's tennis team opened its fall season last week, sending two players to the United States Tennis Association Futures Event in Claremont, Calif., and three to the Wolfpack Invitational in Raleigh, N.C.
At the Futures event, freshman Somdev Dev Varman defeated Ohio State All-American Jeremy Wurtzman (2-6, 6-2, 6-3) before falling in the second round. Wurtzman was ranked No. 1 in college singles last year and was No. 3 at the 2004 NCAA championships. Junior Doug Stewart fell in the first round (6-3, 6-4) to the world's No. 341 ranked player, Austria's Zbynek Mlynarik.
At the Wolfpack Invitational, sophomore Burak Ahmed and freshman Eric Riley reached the second round of Flight A, and freshman Andrew Downing reached the second round of flight B.
