WINSTON-SALEM, NC (ATP Tour) — Former University of Tulsa tennis standout Marcelo Arevalo (El Salvador) teamed with Matwe Middelkkop of the Netherlands to win the doubles title at the ATP's Winston-Salem Open on Friday.

Arevalo and Middelkkop battled back to defeat Ivan Dodig and Austin Krajicek 6-7 (5), 7-5, 10-6 to claim the championship, the duo's first title as a team this year.

The unseeded pair won 84 percent of their first-serve points and saved both break points they faced to secure their victory in one hour and 53 minutes.

Arevalo was a two-time letterwinner and all-conference performer for Tulsa.
