The Alabama men’s tennis team improved to 10-0 with a 6-1 win over Pepperdine on Friday night inside the Roberta Alison Baumgardner Indoor Tennis Facility.
The Crimson Tide took care of the Waves (1-5) 4-0, before playing out the rest of the singles matches moving the final score to 6-1. The Tide is one win away from tying the best start to a season in program history, when UA started the 2003 campaign at 11-0.
The Crimson Tide returns to action with a doubleheader Sunday against San Diego State (1 p.m.) and Lipscomb (6 p.m.), inside the Roberta Alison Baumgardner Indoor Tennis Facility.
