Daniel Cukierman Claims Singles Crown At Southern California Intercollegiate Championships
October 29, 2018 | Men's Tennis, Features
It’s the first collegiate singles title for the Trojan sophomore.
LOS ANGELES, CALIF. — USC sophomore Daniel Cukierman staged his second consecutive three-set comeback to claim his first collegiate singles title as a Trojan, beating Stanford's Sameer Kumar in today's Southern California Intercollegiate Championships singles final today at Marks Stadium.
Ranked #31 in the nation and seeded atop the singles draw for this 62nd annual event, Cukierman had upended the No. 3 seed yesterday in the semifinals to earn his spot in the title match. That pitted the Trojan sophomore against Stanford's #62-ranked and No. 2 seed Sameer Kumar in today's final. There, Cukierman again surrendered the first set, and again dug right back in to carve a path to victory. Tied up 4-4 in the third, Cukierman managed a late break of Kumar to go up 5-4, then held serve to close out the 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 comeback victory to claim the crown on USC's home courts.
