Ryan Torres Advances to Battle in the Bay Classic

DAVIS, Calif.Ryan Torres defeated fellow Aggie Antreas Djakouris in the semifinal of last weekend's Battle in the Bay Qualifier, 7-5, 6-4, to advance to the Battle in the Bay Classic. The Classic is scheduled to begin Thursday, Sep. 21 at the California Tennis Club in San Francisco. 

Torres picked up four straight set wins last weekend to become the lone Aggie representative at the prestigious Bay Area tournament. The junior defeated University of Hawai'i commit Diego Dalisay 7-5, 6-4 in the round of 32, then took down Arizona State's Martin Vergara Del Puerto 6-1, 6-3 and Peter Alam from the University of the Pacific 7-6 (7-4), 6-2 in the following two rounds before defeating Djakouris to earn a spot in the title match against Cal's Derrick Chen. 

Torres and Chen did not play out their championship match though, as both had already qualified for the Battle in the Bay Classic. 

Djakouris, a transfer student from UC Riverside, also won four matches over the weekend, having been seeded into a first round matchup. Djakouris upset the second ranked player in the tournament, Cal's Tim Stepanov 6-4, 6-3 in the round of 16. 

Constantinos Djakouris earned two wins on the weekend, and Sam De Vries won once. 

In doubles play, the brother pairing of Constantinos and Antreas Djakouris advanced to the second round after an 8-2 victory over a duo from Saint Mary's College.

Torres is the lone Aggie scheduled to compete next weekend at the Battle in the Bay Classic. His first match will be Sep. 22, time to be determined.
