LAFAYETTE – Junior Elio Lago got a big first round win over Louisiana State's Shane Monroe, ranked No. 42 nationally, during the first day of the 2018 John Breaux Cajun Tennis Classic to pace Louisiana Men's Tennis at Cajun Courts.
A three-hour lightning delay forced the action to go later into the night than originally planned but it did not stop Lago from getting his first career win over a nationally ranked opponent when he took down Louisiana State's Monroe in straight sets, 6-2, 7-6(7) in the first round of the main draw.
WEATHER CUTS IT SHORT: With the rain continuing on and off through the day, combined with the 3 plus hour lightning day, the day's action had to be cut short with two main draw singles quarterfinals matches yet to be decided.
