Men's Single Consolation Draw

INDIAN WELLS, Calif. – UNC Asheville men's tennis standout Henry Patten picked up his second top-30 win of the fall of 2017 in his Men's Singles Consolation First Round match at the 2017 Oracle ITA National Fall Championships at the JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa.

The ITA Carolina Regional champion Patten bested national No. 25 Daniel Valent of Vanderbilt in straight sets 7-5, 6-4.

Valent like Patten earned an automatic bid to the championships by winning his region in the ITA Ohio Valley Regional.

Patten's first win of the 2017 fall campaign against a top-30 player came by downing Emil Reinberg of Georgia 6-7 (4), 7-6 (2), 6-4 at the Southern Intercollegiate Championships in the semifinals. Reinberg is presently ranked 30th.

The semifinal win over Reinberg at the Southern Intercollegiate Championships allowed Patten to finish the oldest fall college tennis tournament as the champion.

Patten will next continue his efforts at the 2017 Oracle ITA National Fall Championships in the Men's Single Consolation Round of 16 on Friday, Nov. 3. It could be the first of two matches on the day for Patten as the quarterfinals will also be contested on Friday.
