HONOLULU--The University of Hawai'i men's tennis team finished their first 2022 tournament competing against BYU and California on Saturday at the UH Tennis Complex.

Blaz Seric and
Axel Labrunie fell to BYU's Matheus Leite and Brigham Andrus, 8-2.
Alves notched UH's lone win of the singles competition on the final day. Alves edged out BYU's Leite in a hard fought three-set match. Alves held off Leite to take the first set in a tie-breaker. Alves then fell by a break in the second set. He held off Leite in the third set super tie-breaker for the win, 7-6 (6), 4-6, 10-8. UH's Kilain Maitre's match also went three sets against the Cougars' Andrus. Maitre almost was able to win in straight sets, but he fell in the second-set tie-breaker that evened the match. Andrus then pulled away to take the final frame for the victory, 4-6. 7-6 (3), 6-2.
