AUBURN, Ala. – Back on the courts for the first competition of the 2020 fall season, Vanderbilt completed the Auburn Invitational this weekend with four athletes each picking up a pair of singles wins over SEC competition.
George Harwell, Max Freeman, Connor Robb-Wilcox and James Ignatowich each went 2-1 on the weekend while Harwell and doubles partner Adam Sraberg earned a pair of victories. Along the way, Harwell earned straight-set singles wins over Alabama’s Gabriel Diaz Freiere and Auburn’s Tad Maclean while also earning doubles wins over opponents from Alabama and Florida.
Victories over Alabama and Auburn were a common theme for the Dores with Freeman and Robb-Wilcox both beating their opponents from the Tigers and Crimson Tide. Ignatowich also defeated his opponent from Alabama while also taking down Brady Draheim of Ole Miss in a tight three-set thriller 6-4, 5-7, 6-4.
Following a weekend away from competition, Vanderbilt will return to Currey Tennis Center for the Commodore Invitational on Oct. 16-18. More information about the event will be available as the dates draw closer.
