Fianl 8 is set with USC putting in 2 (Sarmiento, Gomez), Virginia with 2 (Styslinger, Domijan), UGA 1 (Singh), Ohio State 1 (Kobelt), Tulsa 1 (DeKlerk), and Princeton 1 (Pecotic). USC almost had 3 but Quiroz let a 6-2 lead slip away in the 3rd set tiebreak.

Out of 16 men's seeds, #6,#7,#8 are still standing in the quarterfinals.

DeKlerk was up 15-40 or 0-40 on several of KU's service games in that 3rd set but couldn't get the break. Per twitter update match ends when DeKlerk is overruled at 5 all in the tiebreak which was his 4th overrule resulting in loss of a game. Singh gets the win 6-2 2-6 7-6 (5).

I was there at the match and didn't really pull for any of the two, but during the tiebreak, there were about three points leading up to that 6-5, that KU was calling on-the-line balls out... He was very calm and collected though despite the pressure from TU fan (half the TU men soccer team was there cheering for De Klerk). Too bad a good match ended that way...

Gomez was actually playing well today when I watched him, I thought Domijian will have to work much harder to get this match, but he was just his usual solid self who takes care of the serve and just cracked big forehand any time he has a look.

Stlylinger did not look nearly as good today as he did the last few match, still, je's gonna be a great number 4 this year. Korbelt was the one that surprised me the most, hitting his serve with power and great placement as he wants (down the tee, out wide). It's kinda cool to see two guys both hitting one handed BH at this level of college tourney, doesn't happen much these days. Stylinger's BH is actually better, seems like he could absorb power and redirect very well with the one hander.

Sarmiento was fighting for every single points against Pecotic who broke him early in the 2nd set and had several more break chances at 6-5. Pecotic is a very agressive player who keeps trying to bullying and intimidating his opponents whether it was Alcorta (OU), Quiroz or Sarmiento. He does have a big lefty serve and is somewhat of a powerful grinder, but does not have any special weapon.

KU looks very sharp against Morrisey, more so than he did today. I have only heard about him prior to seeing him play Morrisey, so I was surprised how big he can go on his first serve, especially for his frame. During that match, his forehand was huge, hitting inside out crosscourt and down the line at will, with great pace. Today even though playing indoor with no condition, he was just spinning ball in from both side and was only ocasionally go big on the ground. Today, he looks very much like Spencer today. De klerk was very improved this year overall, but he did benefit from the easier draw, beating an injured Hoss-Sorensen.

Aside from those guys, I got to watch Cunha played a pre-qual guy Chris Diaz, and Cunha did not look as good as I think he would. During the match, he was extremely tentative with his FH at times, just spinning ball in.

Sounds like you saw some good tennis. Thanks for the report!!

Domijan vs Kobelt for the Championship.

Both won close 3 setters today. Domijan with the 6-4 6-7 7-6 win. Domijan served for the match up 5-4 and 6-5 in the 2nd before losing that set in a tiebreak. Kobelt with the 7-5 1-6 6-4 win. Kobelt trailed 3-1 in the 3rd before breaking back and then broke KU for the win. On Kobelt's 4 all service game he came back from 15-40 down to hold then KU was serving 4-5 40-0 and Kobelt won 5 straight points for the win.

College tennis. I had forgotten how disillusioned I was at the end of spring but this brings it back.

Clemson_tennis · 10-06-2012, 04:56 PM

I'm glad to see some great matches. I don't like when big matches are routs in college tennis.

in.

I think KU has pro potential. He reminds me of Marcos Baghdatis style of play wize

Well at least I picked the champion. Alex Domijan with the 7-5 6-1 win over Peter Kobelt. Kobelt led 3-1 in the 1st set then Domijan must have turned it on.

Auburn's doubles team of Dan Cochrane/Andreas Mies knocked off Virginia's team of Jarmere Jenkins/Mac Styslinger 7-6 6-2 to take the doubles crown.

Tar Heel trolling hard to the hoop.

Lutjen won the consolation. Connor Smith made a run to the final. He was the beneficiary of Hanfmann pulling out of consolations due to injury.
