SAN FRANCISCO – At the California Tennis Club on Saturday, the Bears won three matches but lost four and wound up ending their run in the Battle in the Bay Classic.
 
Florian Lakat, the top singles seed, beat San Francisco's Ryan Marker, 6-3, 7-6(7), in the main draw's round of 16. But USC's Rob Bellamy advanced past the 13th-ranked Lakat due to an injury walkover.
 
In the doubles main draw, the fourth-seeded Lakat and freshman Bjorn Hoffmann prevailed over Pacific's Kumara Advally/Jose Chamba, 8-3, in the round of 16. But the Bears lost in an upset to USF's Jerry Lopez/Oliver Poysti, 8-7(6). Also in the round of 16, Cal sophomore Gunther Matta and freshman Dominic Barretto fell to USC's third-seeded Bellamy/Logan Smith, 8-0.
 
Matta also played in the consolation singles bracket, reaching the quarterfinals after Pacific's Tadiwa Chinamo retired with an injury in the third round. But the second-year Bear then withdrew with an injury, with San Diego's Joshua Page advancing to the semifinals.
