The Austin Peay State University men's tennis team opened their season with a tough loss to Tennessee Tech, ending the match with a score of 6-1 in Bowling Green, KY. The standout moment for the Governors came from the doubles team of Lucas Ranciaro and Tom Bolton, who secured a 6-3 victory against Darek Kuczynski and Lucas Krause. Unfortunately, the other doubles pairings could not replicate that success, leading to losses for Sota Minami and Aeneas Schaub, as well as Bodi van Galen and Javier Tortajada. In singles play, Tom Bolton was the sole victor, defeating Oliver Dao 6-4, 6-3, while the rest of his teammates faced straight-set defeats. Javier Tortajada put up a commendable fight, taking his match against Kuczynski to three sets before losing 5-7, 6-4, 10-5.

The outcome highlights the challenges faced by the APSU men's tennis team as they strive to improve in upcoming matches. Their next challenge comes against Belmont, where they will aim to bounce back from this defeat.
