CORAL GABLES, Fla. – The University of Miami men’s tennis team opened the season with a 4-0 win over the Troy Trojans on Wednesday morning.

Immediately after, No. 30 Antonio Prat took down Yeray Andres Pastor, 6-1, 6-2, at the top court, while newcomer Saud Alhogbani extended Miami’s lead with a 6-3, 6-3 victory against Thiago Drozdowski at the No. 6 spot.
