The Nebraska men's tennis team took part in the first day of the Big Ten Individual Championships at the Dillon Tennis Center in Lincoln on Friday. The tournament began with two round of doubles in the morning and was followed by singles play in the afternoon.
NU competed in several tight doubles contests. Tim Seibert and Jacob Wareti of Ohio State defeated sophomores William Gleason and Patrick Cacciatore via tiebreaker, 8-7(6). In their follow-up match, Gleason and Cacciatore lost to Michigan's Connor Johnston and Kristofer Siimar, 7-5. Sophomore Bradley Mittleman returned to action after missing last weekend's ITA Central Region Championships, but he and partner Chester Wickwire could not defeat Michigan's Connor Johnston and Kristofer Siimar, and fell 7-5.
