SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – It will be an all Cardinal final on Sunday as senior Michael Genender and junior William Genesen will square off for the UCSB Classic crown. Both won one match Friday and two on Saturday to reach the finals.
Genender and Genesen are joined by Jack Barber and Kento Perera, competing in singles and doubles at the weekend tournament on the UC Santa Barbara campus.
