It was a good week for the college kids.
A week after winning his first-ever professional title on his home courts at Texas Tech University, Olle Wallin defeated Maciej Rajsik 7-6(6), 7-5, in Sunday’s singles final of the ITF Albuquerque 15K held at UNM’s McKinnon Family Tennis Stadium.
His singles win came one day after two UNM players — Alex Maggs and Jan Pucalka — won the USTA Pro Circuit event’s doubles title as a wild-card entry.
Per NCAA rules, since Wallin, Maggs and Pucalka are still competing in college, they are unable to collect prize money from the event, but do receive ITF world ranking points.
