NEW ORLEANS | Following a grueling win in the semifinals, University of Alabama men’s tennis senior Houssam Yassine and junior Trey Walston fell in the finals round of the 2009 Wilson/ITA Southern Regional Championships on Sunday.

The Crimson Tide duo outlasted Mississippi State sophomores George Coupland and Artem Ilyushin 9-8(3) before dropping an 8-3 decision to Auburn junior Tim Puetz and sophomore Alex Stamchev in the final match.
