IRVING, Texas — Baylor’s Adrian Boitan and Isabella Harvison received Big 12 Tennis Player of the Week honors after picking up ranked wins in singles in the ninth week of the season. Boitan picks up his second award of the season while Harvison collects her first career and season merit.
Nationally ranked No. 42 in singles, Boitan came off playing in the Davis Cup Qualifiers in Spain with Team Romania to aid Baylor men’s tennis in wins over Arizona State and No. 18 Arizona.
Boitan and partner Tadeas Paroulek posted the first doubles win for the Bears against the Sun Devils with a 6-4 victory over Christian Lerby and Moritz Hoffmann. Boitan then picked up Baylor’s third point of the day, playing in the one spot, with a 6-2, 6-4 win over No. 28 Murphy Cassone. Teammate Sven Lah hammered the nail in ASU’s defeat on court three for a 4-3 win.
Boitan then faced 80th-ranked Wildcat Jonas Ziverts on court one, winning in straight sets 6-2, 6-2, for his 12th singles win of the spring after he and Paroulek led 5-4 on the doubles court when the point was clinched for the Bears to go up 1-0 on Arizona. The Bears defeated the Wildcats 5-2 for their 17th win of the season.
Boitan is 4-1 in ranked victories this season and has yet to drop a singles match this spring.
Meanwhile, Baylor women’s tennis kicked off Big 12 play with back-to-back 7-0 sweeps against TCU and Texas Tech.
Harvison recorded the upset of the weekend as she knocked off 20th-ranked Red Raider Margarita Skriabina in straight sets Sunday, 6-4, 6-2. This followed a straight-sets victory of Horned Frog Alisa Soloveva, 6-4, 6-2 on Thursday. Harvison played both matches on the top court for the Bears.
