The University of Oregon says that tennis player Alex Rovello died over the weekend after an accident while diving at Tamolitch Falls in the Willamette National Forest on Saturday.
According to the Washington Post, the Linn County Sherriff's Department said that Rovello jumped into the water and his friends tried to help him but the cold temperature and the depths of the pool caught him and kept him under. The Blue Pool was where it happened and the tennis star was previously 21-8 this season in matches.
He played doubles with Daan Maasland and won 16 of them, while he was a number three and four rated singles player. A memorial will be held on Saturday, May 18th and the AP says that Rovello went to Cleveland High School and was from Portland.
