On their Spring Break tennis journey, the Fordham University men's tennis team faced a challenging match against Florida Southern College. Competing at the Wynee Warden Tennis Center on Tuesday, March 18, 2025, the Rams were defeated 4-0 by the Mocs. The contest began with Florida Southern securing the doubles point through victories in all three doubles matches. Following this, the Mocs extended their lead by winning the first three completed singles matches. Despite the loss, some Fordham players showed promising performances before the match concluded.

The doubles segment set the tone early as Florida Southern triumphed across all pairs. Notably, Chris Fok Kow and Mario Garoz excelled, defeating Dhillon Virdee-Oakley and Dhananjay Athreya of Fordham in straight sets. Another standout pair from Florida Southern was Bosko Boskovic and Gabriel Jornert, who overcame Phillip Uhde and Filip Horak. Even in the third doubles match, Sam Frizelle and George Russell narrowly edged out Nicolas Garnier and Will Lokier after an intense tiebreaker. These results contributed significantly to Florida Southern's overall dominance.

In singles play, Fordham encountered stiff resistance but demonstrated resilience. Filip Horak made significant strides at second singles, taking the opening set from Chris Fok Kow before leading decisively in the second set when the match ended prematurely. Similarly, Ruben Russwurm and Andro Barrientos both claimed initial set victories against their respective opponents but could not sustain momentum as the match halted abruptly. Their efforts highlighted individual strengths within the Fordham lineup.

Moving forward, the Rams are set to compete against Lewis University in Lakeland, Florida, on Wednesday morning, March 19, at 10:00 AM. This upcoming encounter offers another opportunity for Fordham to refine their strategies and showcase improved performances. With lessons learned from their recent bout, the team aims to bring greater focus and determination into this new challenge.
