Duke’s Nicolas Alvarez and TCU’s Cameron Norrie, both sophomores, will play for Oracle ITA Masters Championship on Sunday after each managed to win not once but twice on a toasty Saturday afternoon in Malibu.
Alvarez started the day off by cruising past TCU’s Guillermo Nunez 6-3, 6-2 before getting all he wanted and more from Texas Tech’s Felipe Soares in the semifinals. Soares took the opening set 6-3 but Alvarez squeezed out the 2nd set in a tiebreak 7-6(7). The 3rd set was all Alvarez as he handed Soares a 3rd set bagel to close out the 3-6, 7-6(7), 6-0 win.
Norrie’s path to the finals was fairly similar to Alvarez’s as Norrie won his quarterfinal match in straight sets 6-4, 6-1 over Tulsa’s Or Ram-Harel before getting pushed by Tulane’s Dominik Koepfer in the semifinals. Koepfer took the opening set 6-1 before Norrie turned it around and took the 2nd set 6-4. The 3rd set stayed on serve until Koepfer lost the 40-all deciding point at 4-5 and that break sent Norrie to the finals with the 1-6, 6-4, 6-4 win.
Also of note the preseason #1 and #2 will meet in the consolation final as both Axel Alvarez and Ryan Shane have each rebounded from their 1st round losses.
