The No. 43-ranked Longhorn, seeded second in the draw, clinched his qualifying spot with a straight-set quarterfinal victory over Oklahoma’s Tito Chavez, winning 7-6 (4), 6-1. Ojakaar previously defeated Oklahoma State’s Sydney Zick and Texas A&M’s Alexander Frusina to reach the quarterfinals. The NCAA individual
