BERKELEY, Calif. — It was a busy weekend in Berkeley for the UC Davis men's tennis team, as the Aggies won 18 of 28 matches at the 2023 ITA Northwest Regional Championships. Ryan Torres swept singles play in straight sets, earning himself a spot in the 2023 ITA Super Regionals in two weeks time. Torres joins fellow Aggie Constantinos Djakouris in the singles field.

Sam De Vries was the lone Aggie to advance out of the early morning round of play, taking a singles victory over Nevada's Remy Tregoures in three sets. 

Torres and Brett Brinkman entered the tournament with a first round bye, which Torres capitalized on, defeating Liam Carpenter of Saint Mary's College 6-4, 6-4. 

The Aggies thrived in Friday's singles consolation action, as Max Fardanesh, Ivan Savkin, Eduardo Gonzalez and Lucas Bollinger all bounced back from earlier defeats. 

On Saturday, Torres kicked off the day with a 6-0, 6-2 match win against Adam Chodur of Sacramento State, while Fardanesh, Savkin, Gonzalez and Bollinger each picked up another round of consolation wins.

Two Aggies doubles tandems had round of 16 wins to advance to the quarterfinals. The Djakouris brothers, Constantinos and Antreas, defeated a duo from the University of San Francisco, while Bollinger and Torres won against representatives from Nevada. 

Bollinger and Torres kept things rolling in the quarterfinal, advancing with a 8-3 result against a duo from Saint Mary's College. The Djakouris's dropped their match to Tiago Silva & Terence Das of the University of the Pacific.

In the consolation bracket the De Vries and Gonzalez duo earned a doubles victory over a squad from the University of San Francisco and Savkin and Fardanesh won against a partnership from Sacramento State.

UC Davis grabbed two singles wins on Sunday. Fardanesh defeated Cal's Ethan Schiffman in a come-from-behind three set match, while Torres earned his Super Regional qualification with a dominating 6-1, 6-2 win over Saint Mary's Carlos Ramos. 

Bollinger and Torres dropped their final doubles match to Pacific's Justas Trainauskas and Peter Alam.

The 2023 ITA Super Regional is set to be hosted by Stanford from Oct. 20-23.
