HOOSIERS TAKE PART IN WILSON/ITA MIDWEST REGIONAL The Indiana men’s tennis team continues the fall campaign at the 2005 Wilson/Intercollegiate Tennis Association Midwest Regional Championships, Oct. 20-25. The event will take place at the Varsity Tennis Center in Ann Arbor, Mich. The singles finalists and doubles champion from the event will earn spots in the 2005 ITA National Intercollegiate Indoor Championships, which Ohio State will host Nov. 3-6. The ITA National Intercollegiate Indoor Championships is the second of three national championship events for college tennis in 2005. The first event was the Riviera/ITA Women's and Polo Ralph Lauren Men's All-American Championships took place earlier this year and the season-ending NCAA Championships are the third and final even set for May. The Midwest Regional starts with a 64-player singles qualifying bracket, which begins Thursday, Oct. 20, at 2 p.m. The top eight in the qualifying bracket will earn spots in the main draw, which starts Saturday, Oct. 22, at 8 a.m. The event comprises a 64-player main singles draw and a 64-team doubles main draw. Seniors Dmytro Ishtuganov and Neil Kenner, junior David Bubenicek and sophomore Dara McLoughlin are part of the 64-player main draw that begins on Friday, Oct. 21. Sophomore Michael McCarthy is seeded 11th in the qualifying draw and will play Craig Smith of Wright State on Thursday, Oct. 20. The Hoosiers will have a trio of doubles teams competing in the main draw at the Midwest Regional. The duos of Kenner and Ishtuganov, McCarthy and McLoughlin and freshman Peter Antons and Bubenicek are slated to begin competition on Saturday, Oct. 22. STARTING PERFECT Junior David Bubenicek opened the season with a perfect 4-0 record at the Cincinnati Collegiate Invitational, Sept. 23-25. He won all four of his matches in straight sets. The Kromeriz, Czech Republic, native picked up a pair of singles tallies on the opening day of the Invite. He downed John Allare of Michigan State (6-2, 6-2) and Tony Teufel of Louisville (6-0, 6-1). Bubenicek capped the competition with two days with victories over Luke Tedaldi of Brown (6-4, 6-3) and Liron Strauss of Wake Forest (6-3, 6-1). PLAYING TOUGH AT THE TOP Senior Dmytro Ishtuganov and sophomore Dara McLoughlin each played solid at the top of the Hoosier lineup at the Cincinnati Collegiate Invitational. With the format of team versus team singles, Ishtuganov played at the No. 1 position, while McLoughlin played at the second spot for the Hoosiers. Ishtuganov compiled a record of 2-2 at the tournament. He defeated Jakob Gustafsson of Louisville, 6-1, 0-6, 10-7, on the opening day of the Invitational. Gustafsson was a 20-match winner for a 2004-05 Cardinal team that advanced to the NCAA Tournament. He also knocked off Saurabh Kohli of Brown, 6-1, 6-4. Arguably, Ishtuganov’s best performance came in a three-set defeat to preseason No. 38 Todd Paul of Wake Forest. The Hoosier senior had Paul down a set after winning the first, 6-4, but Paul won the second set 6-3 and claimed the win with a 10-2 third-set victory. Despite a 1-3 mark at No. 2, McLoughlin played some strong tennis in every one of his matches. The Dublin, Ireland, native played sparingly at No. 6 singles last season. He opened with a victory over Adam Monich of Michigan State, 67 (5), 6-3, 11-9. McLoughlin fell in tightly contested matches with Jeremy Clark of Louisville, Eric Thomas of Brown and Brett Ross of Wake Forest.
KENNER STARTING STRONG Senior Neil Kenner started the season with a 3-1 mark at the Cincinnati Collegiate Invitational. The Dallas, Texas, native opened the season with three consecutive wins all in straight sets. Kenner defeated Michigan State’s Michael Flowers (6-1, 6-0), Jhonny Berrido of Louisville (6-4, 6-3) and Brown’s Phil Charm (6-4, 6-2). 20-WIN PLAYERS Junior David Bubenicek and senior Dmytro Ishtuganov each won more than 20 matches in singles and doubles, respectively, in 2004-05. Bubenicek moved his way up the lineup throughout his sophomore campaign, before finally settling at the No. 3 singles position. The ITA All-Academic Team honoree finished the year with a 21-7 singles mark, including a 17-4 dual meet mark. He also was 7-3 in the Big Ten Conference. Ishtuganov has been one of the top Hoosier doubles players over the past two seasons. He won over 20 matches in each season, including a 20-8 mark in 2004-05. Teaming with then-senior Jakub Praibis, the duo played primarily at the No. 2 position amassing a 17-6 dual match mark with a 6-4 Big Ten ledger. FRESHMEN JOIN THE FOLD The Hoosiers welcome a pair of freshmen to the fold for the 2005-06 season. Peter Antons (Duxbury, Mass./Duxbury) and Mario Gonzalez (Madrid, Spain/International College of Spain) join seven Hoosier returners for the upcoming season. Antons was ranked eighth in the New England region, and as high as 185th in the country by the USTA in the 18-and-under division. At the USTA New England Junior Sectional Championships, he teamed with Luke Rassow-Kantor of Westport, Conn., to claim the doubles championship. Antons also won the consolation singles title at the event. Antons excelled in the classroom, as well as on the court in high school. He was named All-Scholastic by the Boston Globe, Duxbury Clipper and Patriot Ledger. Gonzalez comes to Indiana with a lot of clay court experience in Spain. The 6-4, 174-pound player was a semifinalist in the 2005 Los Rozas el Abojon Tournament (Madrid, Spain) and a quarterfinalist in the Villanueve de la Canada (Madrid, Spain). He is an athlete who played both tennis and soccer at the International College of Spain. SENIOR LEADERS Indiana returns a duo of senior leaders this season in Neil Kenner and Dmytro Ishtuganov. Both have enjoyed success during their Hoosier careers and are expected to make a jump in the line up during the 2005-06 season. Indiana must replace the graduation of its top two singles players from a season ago. Kenner saw the most action at No. 3 for the Hoosiers last season. He finished the year with an 11-9 mark overall, including an 8-8 record in dual matches. Ishtuganov has been a vital part of the Hoosiers' doubles contingent over the past two seasons. He has won 20-plus matches in doubles in 2003-04 and 2004-05. He played up and down the line up last season, making a stop at every singles position with the exception of No. 1. He finished with a 6-3 dual match record in winning 12 singles matches.
