The Nebraska men's tennis team saw freshman Roni Hietaranta advance to the round of 32 after back-to-back wins at the Big Ten Fall Tournament in East Lansing, Mich.
In the first matchup, Hieteranta knocked off Indiana's Carson Haskins with a 6-3, 6-1 win. He then proceeded to defeat Graydon Lair of Michigan State in another sweep, 6-1, 7-5. The first-year player has now won five of his last seven singles matchups, and looks forward to his round of 32 matchup against Illinois' Siphosothando Montsi tomorrow.
Junior Shunya Maruyama and freshman Calvin Mueller both fell short in their matches. Mueller forced a tiebreaker third set, taking Indiana's Luke Vukovic to the limit but eventually losing 6-3, 3-6, [10-7]. Both men won their consolation matches.
Hietaranta and Maruyama won yesterday's opening doubles match against Welch and Morgan of Purdue 6-0.
