NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The 2009 season may be over for Vanderbilt’s men’s tennis team, but it may not be over for a few individuals. On Wednesday, Vanderbilt’s No. 1 doubles duo of Adam Baker and Alex Zotov were selected as alternates to compete in the 2009 NCAA Division I Doubles Championships.
Consisting of 32 doubles teams, the championships will be held May 20-25 at the George P. Mitchell Tennis Center in College Station, Texas and will follow the conclusion of the team championship (May 14-19).
Baker and Zotov are currently ranked 32nd in the country and were selected as the fifth alternates for the tournament. The duo is 7-12 in the No. 1 doubles slot this spring, but their top moment came in the fall when they advanced to the finals of the ITA Southeast Regional Championships. The tandem has been ranked as high as 25th this season.
