He didn't play in the dual match against Hawaii either. Must be recovering from an injury would be my guess.

Still haven't seen a draw but here is who Georgia's guy are playing via twitter @UGATennis with the # being the position where they should play in the regular season:

1) KU Singh vs. (5) Stefan Lindmark (Ole Miss)
2) Nathan Pasha vs. (4)Johan Backstrom (Ole Miss)
3) Hernus Pieters vs. (4) Riki McLachlan (Cal)
4) Ben Wagland vs. (1) Ben McLachlan (Cal)
5) Garrett Brasseaux vs. (10) Nick Hoyle (USC)
6) Marco Nunez vs. (9) Zach Wilder (Ole Miss)
8 ) Casey Kay vs. (6) Adrian Forberg Skogeng (Ole Miss)
9) Eric Diaz vs. (9) Corey Smith (USC)

Singh, Pasha, Nunez, Diaz, and Brasseaux should win these without much problem. Wagland will have his hands full with Cal's #1, Pieters match is pretty even, and Kay is a underdog to Skogeng.

Score Updates: Pasha def. Backstrom 6-1 6-1, Singh over Lindmark 6-2 6-1, Wagland upsets Ben McL 6-3 6-4, Nunez over Wilder 6-0 6-4, Skogeng over Kay 4-6 6-1 6-0, Brasseaux over Hoyle 6-1 6-2, Pieters over Riki McL 7-5 4-6 6-3, Diaz over Smith 6-1 6-2
