Wildcats drop both ranked match ups at home
MANHATTAN, Kan.- The K-State women's tennis team suffered a consecutive loss to a ranked opponent, falling 4-2 to TCU on Sunday (March 22) at Peakform Sports and Wellness Center.
Â
#62 K-State (5-8, 2-5 Big 12) clinched the doubles point for the second time this weekend, starting with a point advantage over #25 TCU (13-2, 7-1 Big 12) but high scoring first sets and three-set matches gave the Horned Frogs the upper hand.
Â
Freshmen Varvara Bernovich and Diana Smolinska won their first doubles match in three weeks, defeating Raquel Caballero Chica and Jennifer Jackson in the no. 2 spot, 6-2. Freshman Sasha Kyselova and sophomore Chanel Rustemova won a consecutive match in the no. 3 position, defeating Cayetana Gay and Tomi Main 6-2, now 4-3 as a duo in Big 12 play.
Â
The sister duo of junior Maralgoo Chogsomjav and freshman Martaa Chogsomjav, ranked #54, went unfinished in the no. 1 spot, facing Victoria Gomez O'Hayon and Yu-Chin Tsai at 5-2.
Â
Maralgoo landed back in the win column with a straight sets victory in the no. 2 position over Gomez O'Hayon. Avoiding a first set tiebreaker at 7-5, she maintained her composure for a sweep at 7-5, 6-4, her 10th career two-set victory in conference matches.
Â
Martaa fell to another ranked opponent in the no. 1 spot, this time #74 Caballero Chica. She started off with the lead in the first set but eventually fell in a 2-7 tiebreaker and was unable to regain her momentum in the second set, falling short 6-7 (2-7), 2-6.
Â
Smolinska faced her first ranked opponent in the no. 3 position, #125 Cristina Ramos Sierra, while encountering a consecutive three-set match. She starting off strong in the first set but then fell behind in a high scoring 5-7 set but bounced back in the next with a 6-4 second set win. In the last set she started to lose steam, ultimately falling 5-7, 6-4, 2-6.
Â
Kyselova and Bernovich both suffered straight sets losses, in the no. 4 and 6 spots, respectively. Facing Tsai in the no. 4 spot, Kyselova was able to stream together just one point in each set with a 1-6, 1-6 final score. Similarly, Bernovich collected just two points in the second set against Gay in the no. 6 position, but it wasn't enough to bounce back at 0-6, 2-6.
Â
Rustemova was up in the third set against Jackson before going unfinished. After a slow start falling 3-6, she bounced back in the no. 5 spot not allowing her opponent as many points. Rustemova was up two points in the last set with a score of 3-6, 6-2, 4-2 when the match stopped, marking her third unfinished three-set match this spring.
Â
The Wildcats will hit the road again for matches in the mountains, playing #53 BYU (15-4, 4-3 Big 12) on Thursday (March 26) before facing #44 Utah (12-5, 5-2 Big 12) on Saturday (March 28).
