STANFORD’S KLAHN AND THACHER EASE INTO FOURTH ROUND AT

122nd ANNUAL PACIFIC COAST MEN’S DOUBLES CHAMPIONSHIP

Tarango and Replacement Partner Fall in Third-Round Action at La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club

La Jolla, Calif. - (March 4, 2011) – The co-number one seeded team of Bradley Klahn and Ryan Thacher of Stanford advanced to the fourth-round of the 122nd Annual Pacific Coast Men’s Doubles Championship with a pair of impressive victories at the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club on Friday.



Following a first-round bye, Klahn and Thacher defeated Corey Smith of San Diego and Ruben Torres of San Dimas , 6-1, 6-1 in a second-round match. In their third-round encounter, Klahn and Thacher eliminated Alejandro Moreno and Alfredo Moreno of Pepperdine University , 6-2, 6-0.

“It’s always nice to come back here. It’s one of my favorite tournaments,” said Klahn, who reached the finals of the tournament with Thacher last year. “Ryan and I have been playing well lately and we’re just trying to play well each match and get better.”

JT Sundling, a USC sophomore who was scheduled to partner Jeff Tarango as a co-number one seeded team, could not play in the tournament due to an injury. His spot in the draw was taken by Garrett Snyder of Costa Mesa , Calif.

After receiving a first-round bye, Tarango and Snyder defeated Jonathan Raude and Jonathan Schroeder of Boston College , 6-2, 6-1. However, Tarango and Snyder were eliminated in the third round by Sebastian Fanselow and Jenson Turner of Pepperdine University , 6-2, 6-2.

Earlier in the day, tennis legend and former tournament champion Pancho Segura paid a visit to the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club to watch some of the action. During his visit, he met with Klahn, the current NCAA singles champion. Segura , who won the Pacific Coast Doubles Championship in 1947 with Frank Parker, is a former three-time NCAA singles champion. Segura was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 1984.

The tournament continues with matches beginning at 9 a.m. (PT) on Saturday. Sunday’s schedule, which features the semifinals, followed by the finals, will begin at 9 a.m. (PT).
