Box Score
ATHERTON, CA – Following an emotional Senior Day ceremony, Menlo Men's Tennis took Cartan Tennis Courts one last time this spring and, for six Oaks, collegiate careers were punctuated on a winning note as
Duarte Brito,
Galien Del Vecchio,
Robinson Pelluault,
Asger Emil Ildor,
Ian Ramiro Perez, and
Erkin Tootoonchi Moghaddam all helped Menlo earn the 5-2 victory over Jessup on Monday.
Each Senior Fittingly Contributes To 5-2 Triumph
Doubles play was dominated by the Oaks, starting with the reunion of
Asger Emil Ildor and Perez from exactly one month prior yielded a 6-2 victory over Joren Stevens and Leo Pham on Court 1. From there, Tootoonchi Moghaddam and Brito took down Caleb Poling and Tanner Sitanggang 6-3 on Court 2 then the French Connection of Pelluault and Del Vecchio celebrated a 6-3 result in prime fashion over Henrique Levy and Lucas Pham 6-3 on Court 3.
Five seniors would then compete in their final singles matches of the season where Del Vecchio quickly blanked Leo Pham 6-0, 6-0 on Court 3 and Brito used a strong serve on match point to best Sitanggang 6-0, 6-2 on Court 4 . The sounds of cheering teammates continued to ring as Perez closed a 6-2, 6-0 defeat of Levy with fine net play on Court 6. The last Oak to log a singles win, Tootoonchi Moghaddam, did so in a 10-point tiebreaker that saw him go up 7-3 initially before he left it all on the court in the last point that led him to the 6-4, 0-6, 10-3 victory.
Season In Review
With memorable matchups throughout, the 2026 Menlo Men's Tennis campaign had its share of highlights. The program's fourth season to date opened with victories over American River (
Feb. 6) and Fresno Pacific (
Feb. 7), before the Oaks' first sweep of a conference opponent in Jessup on
Feb. 20.
An ensuing stretch that saw Menlo win five of seven matches was marked by a 4-3 comeback against Illinois State on
Mar. 13 that served as the Oaks' first ever win over a NCAA Division I opponent. Menlo closed out the season with a pair of home victories for the 4-1 record in Atherton and 7-7 overall.
