STANFORD, Calif.- The Pacific men's tennis team earned a berth in the ITA Fall National Championship for the first time since 2017 after capturing the men's doubles regional crown at the ITA Super Regional in Stanford, Calif. The Tigers posted 12 wins through the duration of the tournament, in addition to the doubles title, to add another accolade to their already impressive fall season. 

Senior Peter Alam and junior Justas Trainauskas ran the Northwest Regional, storming to the doubles final on Monday morning. Fighting through rain and Pac-12 and WCC foe alike, the tandem went a perfect 4-0 on the weekend to capture the doubles title.
 
They opened competition on Saturday, facing off with Alex Chang and Carl Emil Overbeck of California. In the contested battle, the Tiger duo came out on top 8⁷-7⁴ to move to the quarterfinals. Later that afternoon, the pair faced off with Gonzaga's Sasha Trkulja and Matthew Hollingworth. They captured the 8⁹-7⁷ win to advance to the semifinals.
 
Host Stanford laid in wait for the Tigers in Sunday's semifinal. In a best of three, Alam and Trainauskas edged out the Cardinal duo 6-2, 5-7, 12-10 to both advance to Monday's final and qualify for fall nationals.
 
Earlier this morning, Alam and Trainauskas took to the court to face the #16 ranked tandem of Cesar Bouchelaghem and Dzianis Zharyn from Washington. In a best of three, Alam and Trainauskas swept the Husky duo 7-5, 6-3 to claim the Northwest Regional doubles championship.
 
It's the first time since 2017 that the Tigers have made their way to the ITA Fall Nationals. Akram El Sallaly and Bernardo Oliveira were the last two Tigers to make the tournament for Pacific.
 
The singles competition started on Friday morning for the Tigers, with Pacific moving to 3-3 on the day. Redshirt sophomore Terence Das took down UC Davis' Constantinos Djakouris in swift fashion 6-1, 6-2. Sophomore Tiago Silva, coming off a title of his own, bested Oregon's Vlad Breazu 6-2, 6-1. Ran Amar split the day in his fall debut, going out on a high note by taking down Sacramento State's Mark Keki 2-6, 6-3, 10-6.
 
The following day opened doubles competition for both Alam and Trainauskas, as well as Das and Silva. The sophomores Das and Silva opened with a win over host Stanford's Anders Matta and Neel Rajesh 8^7-7^3, but they were later downed by the same Washington duo Alam and Trainauskas would face in the final.
 
On Sunday, the Tigers bounced back as they rattled off a 4-1 record in singles. Alam defeated Washington's Han-Chih Lin 6-2, 6-3, while Silva took care of Santa Clara's Guillaume Dalmasso 6-4, 6-4. Das bested Oregon's Vlad Breazu 6-4, 6³-7⁷, 10-8, while Amar rounded out the singles victories for the Tigers, downing Portland's Oscar Brown 4-6, 6-3, 10-7.
