EUGENE, Ore. – Playing a two-time Grand Slam quarterfinalist, Ducks senior Thomas Laurent held his own against world No. 51 Sam Querrey before falling in Saturday's final of the California Championships. Laurent won five matches during the week including a pair of wins over an ATP top-200 player.
"Tom had an amazing week in California and showed he belonged with the big boys," UO head coach Nils Schyllander said. "It's not only the way the wins throughout the week but how he won. This should give him a lot of confidence going into the season and beyond.
