The blue and gold marked their territory on the historical enemies’ courts and confirmed a productive fall season as one Bear made his run all the way to the final.

Held at the Goldman Tennis Center in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, this tournament welcomed at its earliest stages six Bears. Four of them accessed the round of 16: Lucas Magnaudet, Sean Hill, Yuta Kikuchi and Alex Chang, the latter convincingly beating Daniel Cardiff, 6-4, 6-0.

No. 50 Cal men’s tennis had a chance to be Pac-12 champions. Unfortunately for Cal, it had to face a team that it had already lost to twice this season: No. 13 USC.

In its final regular season match of the season, No. 45 Cal men’s tennis fell to No. 16 Stanford in the Big Slam as the squad could not use its momentum in singles.

Cal’s inexperience was on full display in tough losses to ASU and Arizona in the desert, but the boys look to defeat Oregon and UW as they return home after a four-match road trip.

No. 32 Cal men’s tennis extended its winning streak to seven matches, but the team faces a tough task as it travels to the city of angels for matches against No. 46 UCLA and No. 9 USC.

As the season kicked into high gear, No. 43 Cal had a successful weekend at home defeating Santa Clara and No. 22 Utah in the first official Pac-12 match of the season.

While none of the teams won a title in the main draw, the coaching tandem of head coach Kris Kwinta and assistant coach Francis Sargeant took the court and won in the consolation bracket.

No. 31 Cal men’s tennis was unstoppable no matter the weather conditions at home, shutting out Army 7-0 a cold Saturday and UNLV 7-0 a warm Monday.

On an unseasonably warm February afternoon in Palo Alto, Cal men’s tennis lost to the No. 8 Stanford Cardinal 4-0 in the Big Slam in nonconference play.
