TULSA – Sophomore Andrew Watson made it to the final round of the ITA Qualifying draw, but could not get past TCU's Trevor Johnson, falling 6-2, 6-1 in the qualifying round Wednesday morning.
The loss ends Watson's singles run at the All-American and means the Tigers can turn toward preparation for the next event on the ITA fall calendar, the regional championships. Memphis will compete in the ITA Ohio Valley Regional, Oct. 15-19th at the University of Tennessee. Watson is the defending singles champion in the ITA Ohio Valley Regional, becoming the first-ever Tiger to win an ITA singles title last season as a freshman.
