Michigan State men's tennis' Ozan Baris has reached the NCAA Tournament singles semifinals.
Michigan State tennis star Ozan Baris is one win away from playing for a national title. Baris is a sophomore at Michigan State and is the first Spartan to reach the semi-finals in program history.
Baris had an outstanding year with a singles record of 27-6 and a doubles record of 14-3. He has won numerous awards for his ability to steamroll the majority of his opponents, including the Freshman of the Year award last year and the Big Ten Player of the Year award this season. Also notably, Baris and his doubles partner Max Sheldon were ranked between 16th and first in the nation and won the ITA doubles national championship last year.
Baris will face off against 29th-seeded Filip Planinsek from Alabama, on Friday at 11 a.m. Planinsek defeated 15-seeded Cooper Williams from Harvard in the quarterfinals. Based on the seeding, Baris has the advantage, but Filip Planinsek is a talented tennis player, and Baris will have his work cut out for him in a tough match.
