November 2, 2019 (Las Vegas) - The San Diego State doubles tandem of Ignacio Martinez (Weston, Fla.) and Daniel Traxler (Dallas, Texas) split two matches during the second wave of action Saturday at the Larry Easley Memorial Classic on the campus of UNLV.

The Aztec duo opened with a narrow 8-7 decision over the Cal Poly pairing of Antoine Noel and Gary Vardanyan in the quarterfinals, but could not duplicate the feat in their semifinal encounter with UNLV’s Alex Kobelt and Jordan Sauer, who emerged with an 8-1 triumph.

SDSU also fell short in its two singles matches during a light day of bracket play for the Scarlet and Black on the courts of Fertitta Tennis Complex.

Alex Scemanenco (San Diego, Calif.) dropped a straight-set decision to UNLV’s Jackson Atherton, 6-3, 7-6, in the semifinals of Flight Three, while Fabian Roensdorf (Dortmund, Germany) was edged by Cal Poly’s Vardanyan in a super-tiebreaker, 5-7, 6-2, 11-9, in the consolation semifinals of Flight One.

The final rounds of the Larry Easley Memorial Classic commence on Sunday at 10 a.m.
