Baylor men’s tennis duo Jimmy Bendeck and Sven Lah capped off an impressive week by winning the doubles draw of the Saint Francis Health System ITA Men's All-American Championships Monday at the Case Tennis Center.
Clinching their eighth consecutive match dating back to the team’s qualifying draw opener on Oct. 1, the duo earned the first doubles championship in program history and second in Big 12 history.
As close as a match could be, both full sets went to a tiebreaker. Bendeck and Lah dropped the opening frame but stormed back from a 5-3 deficit to take the second and force a third-set tiebreaker. Lah and Bendeck pulled away for the 6-7(4), 7-6(4), 1-0(4) victory over Ohio State’s Kyle Seelig and Alex Kobelt.
