Carolina Classic Finishes with Doubles Title for Gamecocks
COLUMBIA, S.C. – South Carolina men’s tennis wrapped up its first full tournament of the fall with Atakan Karahan and Cole Henceroth teaming up to claim the Flight B doubles title. Their effort led the six-win Sunday for South Carolina on its home courts.
In the championship match, Karahan and Henceroth faced Georgia’s Noah and Cooper Johnston, needing little time to dispatch their SEC rivals 8-3. Gabe Avram and Charlie Swaine finished their doubles tournament with a win in the consolation bracket, topping USF’s Clement Lemire and Luca Hotze 8-4. Max Stenzer and Paul Barbier Gazeu turned in an 8-1 win over North Carolina’s duo of Nicholas Mangiapane and Oliver Narbut in Flight A consolation action.
In singles, the Gamecocks picked up three wins despite the early retirement of Stenzer in the Flight 1 title match. In consolation action, Avram shook off a first-set 6-3 loss to Columbia’s Thanaphat Boosarawongse to win the next two sets by the same score to close the tournament strong.
In Flight 2, Karahan topped UCF’s Lemire 6-3 in the first set and battled for a late break to take the second 7-5 in his third singles win of the tournament. Barbier Gazeu topped Flight 1 top seed Wissam Abderrahman of UCF 6-4, 6-3.
In the ITA All-American Championships, Lucas Andrade da Silva and Sean Daryabeigi advanced to the qualifying rounds with a commanding 6-2, 6-3 win over Charlotte’s Vasco Prata and Ivan Drecopp. The Gamecock duo will hit the courts Monday afternoon, and da Silva will start singles qualifying play Monday morning as well.
