MILWAUKEE, Wis. -- On its first day of fall tournament competition, Northwestern won three of four singles matches and was 2-0 in doubles at the Milwaukee Tennis Classic hosted by Marquette. NU's Friday singles action came against players from Big Ten rival Wisconsin while the Wildcats' two doubles matches were contested against the host Warriors.
Sophomore Chris Jackman and freshman Raleigh Smith, a pair of high school teammates while at Gulliver Prep in Miami, Fla., each won singles matches in straight sets Friday. Jackman overcame Petr Satral, 6-3, 6-3, while Smith downed Alexander Teppert, 6-3, 6-1, in his collegiate debut.
Junior Tobias Reitz picked up a win in a super tiebreak third set, coming back from a slow first set to defeat Wisconsin's Ricardo Martin, 0-6, 6-2, 1-0 (10-6).
Later in the day, Smith and Jackman teamed up to win 8-5 in a doubles test against Marquette's Otavio Perim and Jose Carlos Gutierrez Crowley, while Reitz and Andrew McCarthy bested Jonathan Schwerin and Dan Marmalat, 8-2.
Northwestern's stay at the Milwaukee Tennis Classic continues Saturday beginning with a round of doubles against Wisconsin (11 a.m.) before a set of singles matches vs. Ball State at 1 p.m.
