The University of South Carolina men’s tennis hosted the first day of its USC Fall Invitational Friday in Columbia. Junior Yevgeny Supeko and freshman Pedro Campos were perfect on the day.

The Invitational features six singles flights and five doubles flights and matches are being played at four locations in Columbia – the Gamecock men’s team’s Sam Daniel Tennis Facility, the Maxcy-Gregg Tennis Center, the Columbia Tennis Center and the USC Indoor Courts.

Supeko defeated the Citadel’s Danny Dosseter, 7-6 (6), 6-2 in his first match of the day. Campos breezed past George Kernoodle of Wofford, 6-0, 6-1.

In doubles play, the tandem picked up wins over Chang/Aorila-Ditoui from Hampton, 8-5, and Hurduc/Pivoka from South Carolina State, 8-2, to move into the semifinals. Supeko and Campos will face Alvarez and Koenke of Clemson at 4 p.m. at Sam Daniel Tennis Center.

Classmate Spencer Feldman cruised to a 6-2, 6-2 victory over the Citadel’s Petrilli Frederic.
