ORLANDO, Fla. – Sun Devil men's tennis' No. 17 Nathan Ponwith and Dominik Kellovsky bowed out of the 2019 NCAA Doubles Championships today, battling but falling to Alabama's No. 11 Mazen Osama/Patrick Kaukovalta 6-2, 6-4 this afternoon.
Instead of playing the traditional one-set doubles match, championship play opts for a singles-style best-of-three sets game play. The Devils duo fell behind 4-0 early in their first set, but took two games to show some resiliency in the match. The pair eventually dropped their first set 6-2 to go into a second set.
