USD Tennis Completes Historic Sweep of ITA All-American Championships Titles

San Diego Men's Tennis swept the ITA All-American Championships singles and doubles titles Sunday, as Oliver Tarvet and Stian Klaassen became the first male student-athletes to clinch All-American status this year.

It is the first time that a Torero has won a title at the event. Tarvet, a junior and the No. 3 ranked player in college tennis, became the just the fifth player to win both the singles and doubles title at the season's first big national tournament, the first since 2015.
 
"I couldn't have imagined a better start to the season for the Toreros," said Assistant Coach Alex Funkhouser, who was on the sidelines guiding the pair all week. "What these two guys have accomplished on a national scale is nothing short of impressive and deserved. The success is a reflection of the culture and environment that Head Coach Ryan Keckley has established here at USD."
 
Tarvet, a St. Albans, England started the morning with an effortless walkover title after Sebastian Gorzny of Texas retired from the final due to injury. He advanced from the semifinal on a walkover, too.
 
Klaassen, who hails from Zeist, Netherlands, combined with Tarvet to make the national 23rd-ranked duo. In the afternoon they defeated the scorching hot Baylor duo Marko Miladniovic and Oskar Brostrom Poulsen, 7-6 (7-4), 2-6, [10-5].
