FLUSHING MEADOWS, N.Y. – Oklahoma State doubles duo Arjun Kadhe/Julian Cash began competiton at the USTA/ITA National Indoor Intercollegiate Championships in Flushing Meadows, New York, on Thursday.
In their first round match, the Cowboy duo faced a tough battle against No. 16-ranked doubles team Henry Craig/Alex Gasson of Denver. The first set featured a back-and-forth contest between the two teams, but the Cowboys would rise up to the challenge by taking the first set tiebreaker, 7-1.
After a tough first set win, the All-American duo dominated in the second by taking the final five games of the set to win their first round match, 7-6(1), 6-2.

Following a three-hour break, Kadhe/Cash made their way back to the court, as they were ready to face No. 4 seed Diego Hidalgo/Gordon Watson of Florida for a spot in the quarterfinals.
After exchanging the first few games, Hidalgo/Watson would break away from the Cowboys and take the first set, 6-3. The second set wouldn't be much different, as the Gators defeated Kadhe/Cash in straight-sets, 6-3, 6-2.
