\"\"<\/a>OXFORD, Miss. — The No. 14 ranked Ole Miss men\u2019s tennis team downed 39th-ranked Arkansas 6-1 here Friday at the Palmer\/Salloum Tennis Center\/Galtney Courts to improve to 9-5 overall and 5-2 in the SEC.\u00a0 The Rebels host LSU Sunday at 1 p.m.
\nHead coach Billy Chadwick switched up the doubles after the Rebels had dropped four straight doubles points in the SEC.\u00a0\u00a0 It worked.\u00a0 Nik Scholtz and Jonas Lutjen teamed up for an 8-3 win at No. 1 doubles against Matt Walters and Hall Fess.\u00a0 They are now 10-1 in dual matches and 1-1 at No. 1.\u00a0 At No. 3 doubles Johan Backstrom and William Kallberg broke the Razorback duo of Nikolas Zogaj and Mike Ward and served it out to win 8-6 and clinch the point.
\n\u201cThe T-brothers are one of the top teams in the nation, but sometimes if something isn\u2019t working, you have to change it up a little and see what happens.\u00a0 It seemed to help us today.\u00a0 The bottom line, we need to come out in every match and play strong at all three positions.\u201d
\nWith the first point in hand, the Rebels went to work in singles, winning five first sets including a couple of tiebreakers.\u00a0 First off the court, senior Marcel Thiemann, ranked No. 36 in the nation, dominated UA\u2019s Gregoire Lehmann 6-1, 6-0 at No. 2 to make it 2-0 Rebels.\u00a0 Thiemann is now 9-3 at No. 2 and 6-1 in the SEC.
\nScholtz, ranked No. 19 nationally, admits he hates losing in anything, and Friday he bounced back with a straight set win at No. 1 singles.\u00a0 He defeated Arkansas senior Zogaj 6-3, 6-3 to improve to 11-2 and 6-1 in the SEC.
\nMoments later, 40th-ranked Lutjen clinched the victory finishing off Razorback Matt Walters 7-6(2), 6-1 at No. 3 singles.\u00a0 Lutjen is 5-2 in the SEC.
\n\u201cIt was a close match.\u00a0 If you looked at the doubles, it was extremely competitive.\u00a0 We took five first sets, and we were very fortunate to win a couple tiebreakers to get ahead.\u00a0 They\u2019re a tough team and I felt like without a good effort top to bottom, we would come up short.\u00a0 We did get a solid effort and came out on top.\u201d
\nThe Rebels final two points came at five and six singles, as Backstrom defeated Mike Ward 6-4, 5-7, 10-6 and Adrian Forberg Skogeng won 7-6(4), 1-6, 10-8.
\nLSU and Mississippi State got rained out Friday and will play Saturday at 10 a.m. in Starkville.\u00a0 Admission to Sunday\u2019s match is free and with no concessions, fans may bring their own food and beverage.
