The Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Men's Tennis team is primed for its home-opening weekend from Friday-Saturday, Jan. 28-29 at Cajun Courts located within the Louisiana Athletics Complex footprint.
The Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Men's Tennis team's first dual match at Cajun Courts in the Spring 2022 season was a successful venture, a 6-1 win over Tyler Junior College on Friday, Jan. 28.
The match was the first for Louisiana (2-1) at home under the guidance of first-year head coach Luc Godin. It was also the start of a weekend homestand that continues Saturday, Jan. 29 with a 3 p.m. match vs. Xavier (La.).
After being edged out at No. 1 and No. 2 doubles by counts of 7-6 (7-2) and 7-5, the Ragin' Cajuns stormed back to claim all of the singles matchups which was highlighted by winning five of the six in straight sets.
Oriol Fillat Gimenez made quick work of his opponent on Court 3 posting a 6-2, 6-1 win to begin Louisiana's march to victory. Calin Postea and Kacper Dworak, at No. 6 and No. 4 singles, followed with wins to open a 3-1 match lead, then Karlo Kajin dominated the second set 6-0 to wrap up a sweep on Court 1 and clinch the result for the Ragin' Cajuns.

UP NEXT
Louisiana closes out a brief two-match homestand on Saturday, Jan. 29 meeting Xavier (La.) in a 3 p.m. match at Cajun Courts. It's another opportunity for fans to catch a glimpse of the team before a series of road matches keeps them away from Cajun Courts until March.
Tyler Junior College…
Play somebody, not a JC and Xavier.
Xavier is the #2 ranked team in NAIA. I know it is not D-1. But they are a good team. Tyler is a very good juco. I agree I wish we played better teams at home. But this is a makeup from the tournament that got cancelled.
