NASHVILLE – Troy men's tennis opened their first of three matches in Nashville on the losing end on Saturday as the Trojans fell to Belmont, 2-5.

Unlike the previous weekend Troy struggled in the opening doubles matches, falling at both the No. 1 and 2 position, leaving No. 3 doubles unfinished.

In singles Troy earned wins as both the No. 2 and No. 3 spots. At No. 2 singles was Oskar Michalek who earned his second win the young season with an impressive come-from-behind victory. After dropping the first set 2-6, he battled back to take the final two sets. At No. 3 singles was Carles Anton who, like Michalek, earned his second win of the season after defeating Belmont's Marko Llic in straight sets. Belmont was able to secure victories at No. 1, 4, 5 and 6 singles.
