    No. 15 Stanford ends men’s tennis’ winning streak

    The No. 11 Illinois men’s tennis team had its six-match winning streak snapped Tuesday afternoon.

    The No. 15 Stanford Cardinal visited the Illini at the Khan Outdoor Tennis Complex and came out on top 4-3.

    Stanford swept the doubles point 3-0, with a big win by the No. 2-ranked duo of Ryan Thacher and Bradley Klahn over No. 8 Marek Czerwinski and Dennis Nevolo.

    In singles play, the Cardinal kept up the pressure when Denis Lin defeated Bruno Abdelnour to give Stanford a 2-0 lead.

    Wins by Johnny Hamui and No. 77 Abe Souza evened up the score for the Illini in Nos. 3 and 4 singles.
