Coach Billy Martin said the Bruins’ doubles lineup has yet to demonstrate success.

“(I’m) still trying to see what’s best for us at that third doubles position, and I’ve gotten a good look at three different potential teams for third doubles,” Martin said. “And we’ll have to go from there.”

With a sweep on the doubles front and just one singles victory, No. 24 UCLA men’s tennis (7-6, 0-2 Pac-12) lost its second conference game to No. 6 Arizona (16-2, 2-0) on Sunday at the Los Angeles Tennis Center. In the Bruins’ 4-1 fall to the Wildcats, their sole point was thanks to their freshman recruit.

Spencer Johnson, for the second time this season, was the first Bruin to finish his match. And on Sunday, he did so in winning fashion as he allowed no breathing space for Gustaf Strom in a 6-3, 6-0 landslide. Johnson’s two-set victory marked his first time completing the feat since Feb. 25 against UNLV.

“I have to believe Spencer maybe played the best match of his UCLA career so far because I have a huge amount of respect for the young man he played from Arizona,” Martin said. “And to beat him as soundly as he did either tells me the other guy wasn’t feeling too good or Spencer just played so very well.”

Fresh out of his match, Johnson parked himself on the sidelines to root for junior Giacomo Revelli on court two. Despite a 7-5 victory in the first frame, Revelli lost his third consecutive match 7-5, 6-4, 6-2.

Three Bruins battled for a chance to turn the game around as the Wildcats led 3-1. But the Bruins’ fate was cemented when sophomore Gianluca Ballotta fell one point behind his opponent 6-4, 6-2, 7-6(2).

Sophomore Azuma Visaya and senior Jorge Plans Gonzalez both left their matches unfinished in the third set after Ballotta’s defeat. Sunday marked Visaya’s first appearance on court since his Feb. 7 win over LMU. Before landing any points in the third set, the scoreboard in his return stopped at 6-2, 7-5 unfinished.

“I felt confident he would win that third set if it were played out,” Martin said. “But he just deserved to finally get a chance, and I thought today was the right time.”

Alexander Hoogmartens has been missing from action since Mar. 17, when the junior secured his match against the Crimson in three sets to preserve the Bruins’ lifeline and allow Johnson to close out the match with a victory for UCLA.

“There’s no doubt on anybody’s mind that knows our team or opponents that know our team that we are a much better team with Alex on it,” Martin said. “So the sooner we can get him back on a consistent basis the better.”

UCLA will face off next against USC at Marks Stadium on Sunday at 5 p.m.
