Planinsek finished the week by going to three sets in three of his five wins, with two of the three-setters surpassing 3.5 hours. Planinsek is the first Alabama Men’s Tennis alumnus to win on the ITF Futures Tour since Saketh Myneni did so in April 2018.
Merel Van Dongen announced on social media today that she plans to retire from professional soccer after Rayadas de Monterrey’s appearance in Campeón de Campeones on July 16.
