Men’s Tennis
UCLA will host Wisconsin today at 1:30 p.m. at the Los Angeles
Tennis Center.
The Bruins fell from No. 2 to No. 10 in the recent Rolex
Collegiate Rankings.
The Bruins and the Badgers have only met once since 1967 – a
Bruin victory.
This will be the Bruins’ last match in Southern California until
April 17, as they head out on a six-game Pac-10 road trip.

The UCLA doubles teams had a solid showing at the Pacific Coast
Doubles Tournament March 5-8.
UCLA’s No. 1 team of Matt Breen and Jean-Noel Grinda did not run
into a red light until the quarterfinals. The red came from the
Stanford No. 1 team of Bob Bryan and Mike Bryan, the tournament’s
No. 1 seed, who beat the Bruins 6-2, 7-6 (3).
Alex Decret and Noah Newman also saw Cardinal red, this time in
the round of 16. Stanford’s No. 2 Ryan Wolters and Paul Goldstein
eliminated Decret and Newman, 6-2, 6-2.
UCLA’s No. 3 team of Vince Allegre and Chris Sands advanced to
the quarterfinals, where they met USC’s duo of Kyle Spencer and
Roman Kukal. The No. 3 seed defeated Allegre and Sands, 6-4,
6-2.
Allegre and Sands upset the No. 5 seed, San Diego State’s Frank
Morgan and Alexander Waske, en route to the quarterfinals.
