BOISE, Idaho - Boise State advanced two of its three pairs to the championship of the Dar Walters Fall Classic on Saturday. The tandem of Wyatt DeMulling and Simon Arca Costas will face off against Kyryll Kryvchun and Blake Bayldon Sunday morning for the title. The two pairs will meet in a doubles match, followed by the two singles matches starting at 9 a.m. at the Appleton Tennis Center on campus.
"Two teams in the final is what we wanted, that's not always going to happen but I'm super excited about the way my guys competed," said Boise State head coach Kristian Widen. "We talk a lot about the level of competition we have to go up against, whether we're having a good day or a bad day, we're still going to compete. Wyatt DeMulling was able to turn his match (against Felipe Acosta) around in the third set not because he did anything different, but because he competes."
The day opened with the second of four rounds of competition where Kryvchun and Bayldon defeated Idaho State's Fynn Lohse and Patrik Trhac 3-0. The Broncos won the doubles point 6-1, then collected singles victories with Kryvchun beating Lohse 6-3, 6-4 and Bayldon downing Trhac 6-3, 6-2.
The Bronco tandem then advanced to the semis (round three) against Weber State's pair of Kris Van Wyk and Michiel Van Shoor who Kryvchun and Bayldon defeated 3-0. They opened with a doubles victory by a 6-2 score, then followed with Kryvchun's 6-2, 6-3 and Bayldon's 6-3, 6-4 singles wins.
Boise State's DeMulling and Arca Costas also won two matches to advance to Sunday's final. They opened the day with a 3-0 win over Weber State's duo of Paul Ohde and Bo-Han Li. The Broncos took the doubles point 6-0, then added DeMulling's 6-3, 6-4 and Arca Costas' 6-4, 6-3 singles victories.
DeMulling and Arca Costas took on Utah State's Felipe Acosta and Javier Ruiz in the semifinals. The Boise State tandem had to rally after dropping the doubles point to win the match 2-1. The Aggie duo claimed the doubles win 6-3, then Boise State took both singles victories, DeMulling's 6-1, 2-6, 6-3 win over Felipe Acosta — the highest ranked player in the tournament — and a straight-set 6-4, 6-2 win by Arca Costas.
