October 09, 2026 | Men's Tennis
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. β The UC Irvine men's tennis team continued its 2026-27 fall slate at the UCSB Fall Invite, Oct. 9-11, with a new-look lineup featuring senior Max Fardanesh, junior Ruining Huang and newcomers Holland Snell and Yashwin Krishnakur.
The 'Eaters faced a competitive field featuring opponents from UC Santa Barbara, USC and Cal Poly as they continued preparations for the upcoming season. In singles play, Krishnakur earned a victory over USC's Niels Hoffmann by retirement, while Snell fell to UCSB's Charlie Underwood in a tight two-set match, 7-5, 7-6 (7-5). Fardanesh battled UCSB's JP Day in three sets before falling, 6-3, 3-6, 7-5. Huang was also scheduled to face Cal Poly's Evan Simon.
In doubles action, Fardanesh and Snell dropped an 8-6 decision to USC's Connor Church and Matteo Morazzi. Huang and Krishnakur were locked in a close matchup against UCSB's Matei Gavrea and Mario Garcia, with the result pending.
The 'Eaters will continue action tomorrow, Oct. 10, at the UCSB Fall Invite as they look to build momentum and gain valuable experience against a competitive field.
