Marcus Echtler won for the fourth time in four days in three sets over #38 Adrian Prpic in  the Polo Ralph Lauren All-American Tennis Championships in Tulsa, Okla. on Thursday. Echtler, ranked #75 in the country, posted a 6-7, 7-6, 6-1 victory.  He will face the top seed and #2-ranked player in the country, John Isner this afternoon. 

"Marcus played outstanding again today against a very good and experienced player," said Head Coach Pierre Pilote. 

Thursday was his first match in the Main Draw.  Echtler was a straight-sets winner in all three of his qualifying matches, but found himself behind early against Prpic.  The Stetson junior dropped the first set 6-7 and then fell behind 0-3 in the second set.  However, Echtler rebounded to take that set 7-6 and cruised through the third, 6-1.

"Marcus did a great job to fight back after getting down 3-0 in the second set and then dominating in the third set," said Pilote. 

Echtler will now play the top seed in the tournament, John Isner of Georgia.  He is the #2-ranked player in the country and the defending champion of the ITA Tournament.  Isner defeated Peirre Mouillon of Cal earlier today in straight sets, 6-1, 6-4.

"Marcus told me he is really looking forward to the challenge of facing Isner," said Pilote.
