It wasn’t supposed to be like this. The UCLA men’s tennis team’s 4-3 victory over Virginia on Wednesday was supposed to be a warm-up for today’s match against USC, not a struggle for victory. But a struggle it was. The No. 3 Bruins (12-1) needed a late victory by Chris Lam at No. 4 singles […]

The last time the UCLA men’s tennis team took to the courts was the first time it lost.  That was 11 days ago, in Louisville, Kentucky, against the University of Florida.
