Torpegaard Into the Finals in Cbus & Plenty of Fall Tournament Results

Ohio State junior Mikael Torpegaard got a wild card into the $50K Columbus (OH) Challenger, which is played at the Ohio State Varsity Tennis Center, and he has thanked the tournament organizers with his stellar performance on the court this week. Torpegaard had never played a Challenger-level event prior to this week but a 7-5, 7-6(5) win over former Tennessee Volunteer and ATP #263 Tennys Sandgren has him in the finals where he’ll meet former Baylor Bear and 2004 NCAA Singles Champion ATP #97 Benjamin Becker. Torpegaard, who entered the tournament with an ATP ranking of 642, has won 13 of his last 14 pro matches and with a win tomorrow he’d see his ATP ranking climb to roughly 368; with a loss he’d be just inside 445.

Battle in the Bay Classic – San Francisco – USC senior Rob Bellamy and freshman Brandon Holt moved into the semifinals after each won a pair of matches on Saturday (technically Bellamy won one with the walkover win over Lakat). Bellamy will meet San Diego State senior Marko Goles Babic (went to Ohio State his freshman year) while Holt takes on Cal Poly senior Ben Donovan. Goles-Babic won a pair of straight set matches on Saturday including a win over the No. 4 seed TCU senior Jerry Lopez while Donovan ousted San Diego freshman Guus Koevermans and Portland junior Mike Pervolarakis.

The finals will be played a few hours after the conclusion of the semifinals with live steaming available as well as a broadcast from Ken Thomas on RadioTennis (links below).
