PALO ALTO, Calif. – Saint Mary's Men's Tennis had a doubles tandem in the ITA Super Regionals, and the combo of James Watt and Thibaud Maxant has advanced all the way to the semifinals.
Watt and Maxant defeated John Kim and Michael Wright of Cal 8-4 to start the day in the seven-seed-versus-eight-seed matchup. That set up a showdown with Stanford's No. 3 tandem of Max Basing and Nishesh Basavareddy, who shut out their opponents from Portland 8-0.
But Watt and Maxant were undaunted by facing the top-five tandem of the Cardinal, and bested Basing and Bsavareddy 8-6 in a fierce battle for the win over the doubles stars from Stanford.
The victory over the No. 3 doubles combo means the Gaels tandem will now take on the No. 1 pairing of Quinn Vandecasteele and Joshua Charlton of Oregon on Sunday morning. Vandecasteele and Charlton topped a doubles team from Gonzaga 8-5 to reach the semis.
