Former Shocker Murkel Dellien and incoming junior WSU men’s tennis player Nicolas Acevedo won the doubles championship of the 2021 Wichita Tennis Open over the weekend.
Dellien just wrapped up his WSU career with a successful senior season where he went 14-2 in singles matches. Acevedo had a successful season as well and was pivotal in WSU’s 15-9 season.
The duo found themselves in a 3-0 deficit during the first set of the semifinals on Friday but a rain delay stopped play for the remainder of the day. They were able to sway the momentum on Saturday afternoon, winning in straight sets, 7-6, 6-3.
