UNLV roundup: Amilon eliminated in national indoor tennis championships

UNLV senior Jakob Amilon was ousted from the USTA/ITA National Indoor Intercollegiate Championships when he lost his first consolation match Friday in Flushing, New York.

Amilon, ranked 124th nationally, lost to fifth-seeded and 37th-ranked Alfredo Perez of Florida 6-2, 7-6 (10) in the 32-player tournament.

A Stockholm native, Amilon is the first UNLV men’s player to qualify for the indoor nationals since Henner Nehles in 2004.

Amilon closed his final fall record at 6-4 and next will be in action when the Rebels open their dual-match season at home against New Mexico State on Feb. 3.
