UNLV senior Jakob Amilon did not lose a set while soaring to the singles crown in the ITA Mountain Region Championships at Darling Tennis Center.
Seeded third and ranked 124th nationally, the Stockholm native won the final Sunday over ninth-seeded Kai Wehnelt of Utah State 6-4, 6-3.
With the victory, Amilon earned a berth in the USTA/ITA National Intercollegiate Indoor Championships, slated for Nov. 3-6 in Flushing, New York.
Amilon is the second UNLV men’s tennis player to win an ITA regional singles title, joining Henner Nehles, who achieved the feat in 2004.
