IRVINE, Calif. - UC Irvine men's tennis travels to Tempe, Arizona, for the ITA Southwest Regional Championships, Oct. 17-22.
All nine Anteaters will make the trip. Mason Bui, Max Fardanesh and Sohrob Amiryavari are set to kick off the tournament in the qualifying singles round tomorrow morning, while main draw singles and doubles are set to begin on Friday.
The 90th-ranked and second-seeded duo of Noah Zamora and Hiroki Sakagawa are paired up for their second tournament of the fall. The two went 1-1 at the ITA All-American Championships, defeating Miami's Martin Katz/Antonio Prat, 6-4, 7-6 (3).
