Two veterans led the way as the LSU men’s and women’s tennis teams both started their respective seasons this weekend.
Senior Neal Skupski swept his first three matches of the 2011-12 season at the USTA Futures Qualifier Tournament this weekend in Costa Mesa, Calif. The 6-foot-1 senior won 7-5, 7-6 on Friday; 6-3, 6-4 on Saturday and 3-6, 6-4, and 6-3 on Sunday.
“I really liked [Skupski’s] intensity,” said men’s assistant tennis coach Danny Bryan. “The guys really have to work hard to get the win, and he’s done that each practice.”
