UK’s Rossi wins SEC Indoor tennis title

In a battle of Frenchmen, Kentucky’s Anthony Rossi topped Georgia’s Sadio Doumbia 6-4, 6-3 Monday to win the Southeastern Conference Coaches’ Indoor (tennis) Championships at UK’s Hilary J. Boone Tennis Complex.

Rossi, ranked 36th nationally, is UK’s second winner of the event. The first was Adam Malik in 1989. 

Seeded seventh in the tournament, Rossi lost only two of 12 sets in the four-day tournament.

Doumbia, ranked 10th nationally and seeded No. 3 in the tournament, served first and led each set 1-0.

Rossi, who held serve throughout the day, broke Doumbia in the third game of each set.
