The UCLA men’s tennis team traveled to Virginia this weekend with high hopes of returning with the ITA National Team Indoor championship trophy.

However, they were unable to advance past the first round as they lost to No.

As the UCLA men’s tennis team got off to a hot 8-0 start to the season, it discovered a motto to its success: Just keep fighting.

Experience does not always trump talent. That was the case on Tuesday as the No. 8 UCLA men’s tennis team took on No. 12 Pepperdine at the Los Angeles Tennis Center.

When it comes to building a championship contender, it is not always about having the best talent, but about having the best team chemistry.

The No. 8 UCLA men’s tennis team swept No. 63 San Diego State 7-0 in order to improve its record to 7-0 on Thursday afternoon.

After losing the doubles point in their last two matches against Cal and Stanford, the Bruins made a big effort to make sure that streak didn’t reach three games.

“The guys are doing what I have asked them to do as far as staying focused mentally and working really hard,” said coach Billy Martin.

After getting out to a hot 4-0 start to the season, the No. 9 UCLA men’s tennis team will be traveling to the Bay Area for the weekend to face the toughest teams it has seen so far.
