GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Sergio Ingles was victorious in a pair of singles and two doubles matches with Raul Garcia at the ITA Southeast Regional Championships on Thursday.
 
With the two wins, Ingles advances to the main draw of singles which begins on Friday at the Alfred A. Ring Tennis Complex.
 
Ingles swept Rodrigo Crespo of North Florida 6-2, 6-2.  He would return to the court and beat Pedro Maciel of FGCU 6-2, 3-6, 10-8.
 
Matthew Terry will join Ingles in the round of 64. He defeated David Georgadaze of Mercer by a score of 6-4, 6-2. Later in the day, he took down Jonas Hartenstein of UNF 6-1, 2-6, 6-4.
 
Seru Tezuka came up just short of advancing in singles. He won his opening match in straight sets over Valentin Dun of Georgia Southern 6-1, 6-4. He battled to the very end but came up just short against Patrick Kotan of UNF 6-3, 6-4.
 
"Today was a really physical day with some of the guys playing four matches," assistant coach Simon Pritchard said. "They did a fantastic job of getting off to good starts and closing their matches out once they got up. Sergio did an unbelievable job today winning four matches and spending upwards of five hours on court."
 
In doubles, Ingles and Raul Garcia opened the day with a 8-7 (7-1) win over Breno Marques and Joe Ellis of UNF. They advanced to the main draw with a 8-7 (9-7) win over Alvera Fernandez Horta and Filip Krolo of Florida Atlantic.
 
"Sergio and Raul didn't play their best doubles today but they were able to come from behind twice to make it to the main draw," Pritchard said.  "We have a couple of small things we need to adjust going into tomorrow so I know they will be ready to go in the morning."
 
The Owls will have two doubles teams and three singles players in the main draws
