Comeback falls short for men's tennis at American Championships

ORLANDO, Fla. – A courageous comeback fell short as Memphis men's tennis dropped a 4-3 decision against No. 46 USF Friday morning in the quarterfinal round of The American Tennis Championships.

Memphis (11-14) erased a 3-0 deficit with wins at the bottom three courts of its singles lineup to draw the match even, but USF seized a second-set win on court 3 to build momentum and seal the contest.

The Bulls (15-7) won the opening doubles point behind wins on courts 1 and 3. Memphis duo and were in a tiebreak before their match was left unfinished.
