Reid Carleton continued his title haul Sunday, capturing the singles championship at the UVA Ranked Plus One Invitational with a 6-2, 1-6, 6-2 victory over No. 30 Jose Hernandez of North Carolina. On Saturday, Carleton combined with Chris Mengel to win the doubles title over Virginia’s Philippe Oudshoorn and Justin Shane, 8-2.
Carleton, the country’s No. 45 singles player, won his second consecutive singles tournament and improved his singles record to 8-0 with the victory Sunday. He beat three ranked opponents en route to the title, including No. 85 Joey Burkhardt of North Carolina and No. 21 Rhyne Williams of Tennessee before defeating Hernandez Sunday.
Normally partnered with Henrique Cunha in doubles, Carleton took the court with Mengel this past weekend, but the results didn’t suffer. Carleton and Mengel swept the weekend, dispatching three opponents in orderly fashion. The 8-2 final win marks Mengel’s first career title.
Jared Pinsky and Fred Saba won the third-place consolation match Saturday, disposing of North Carolina’s Alex Rafiee and Williams Parker, 8-5.
The Blue Devils will take the court again Oct. 2, when play begins in the ITA/D’Novo All-American Championships.
