Julius Tverijonas, a rising junior on the men’s tennis team, earned his first professional doubles title at the Turkey F20 Futures tournament last weekend.

The unseeded Siauliai, Lithuania native and Bolivian partner Federico Zeballos upset top-seeded Mark Fynn and Arthur Surreaux in the semifinals with a 6-2, 6-7(5) (10-7) victory to earn the chance to face off against the fourth-seeded French pair of Constantin Belot and Nicolas Rosenzweig in the championship. They won easily, 6-3, 6-3.

The pair cruised to winning its first match 6-0, 6-2 before defeating the draw’s third-seeded pair 5-7, 6-3 (11-9) in the tournament quarterfinals.

The tournament, held at Turkey’s Belconti Resort Hotel, is part of the International Tennis Federation Men’s Circuit, an entry-level professional tennis organization.

Tverijonas finished his 2014-15 campaign at GW with 9-7 overall singles record and a 13-10 overall doubles record, as his team claimed its second consecutive A-10 championship with a win over No. 2 VCU last month.

The 20-year-old pre-business administration major will look for his second doubles title this week, paired with Surreaux in the Turkey F21 Futures tournament. The duo will face top-seeded Ricardo Rodriguez and Ruan Roelofse in the semifinal on Friday.
