He lost to Domijan and Lacroix. As I've said before, Klahn's lone win against a pre-season Top 30 guy in the fall was his win over Childs. Everyone else he beat was outside the Top 30. That's why he was ranked as low as he was.

I agree that since he's added four more wins against Top 30 competition since the pre-season rankings, he's due for a major bump, likely into the Top 5, especially since four of the top 5 players have lost a match so far in the dual match season.

Courtney's ranking will drop because he isn't playing ranked opponents very often at the #5 spot.

I would post a LiveStats link for the men's match against Boston College that is going on right now, but Boston College has never had tennis LiveStats for any match, as far as I can recall. Pretty sad.

I think they should focus on offering scholarships first, before they work on Livestats.

Well, Boston College has scholarships for women's tennis, but they have no LiveStats for their women's matches, either.

Baylor giving us more than we bargained for in doubles right now in Waco.

A little while ago, from the UVa perspective, the scores were 2-8, 4-6, and 7-7.

ClarkC · 03-12-2011, 11:03 AM

Baylor is also running a live blog.

ClarkC · 03-12-2011, 01:01 PM

Baylor took the doubles point in a tiebreaker at #2.

Virginia is dominating the singles.

Oklahoma giving Virginia a hard battle in doubles right now.

Virginia playing at Texas without Alex Domijan, who is at Sony Ericsson qualifying in the morning in Miami. Big challenge.

Dominjan seem to be more interested in turning pro than playing for his college and his team-mates.

Yeah I found that questionable as well. I could understand if they were playing an easy team, but Texas is a top 10 team. Plus it's unliekly he will qualify for Miami anyway

I know, no unity in Virginia team. Stanford will upset them in the quarterfinals.

Virginia dropped the doubles point, and four of the first sets in singles, on the road, against a top 10 team, and playing without the #2 player in the country. I think it's fair to say that just about any team in the country facing that situation would have folded.

Virginia wins it, 5-2, and that included Jenkins losing a third set in which he was up a break.

Domijan will be so pre-occupied with thoughts of turning pro, that he may lose all his matches in NCAA tournement.

UVA was too tough for Texas even without Domijan. Shabaz was particularly impressive today.

Automator · 03-21-2011, 08:02 AM

In regards to the Domijan situation, it plays right into what Coach Boland is selling to recruits. He's out there telling the top juniors in the country that coming to Virginia is only going to help further their pro ambitions. Not only will they play against a tough schedule, but they'll practice against some of the top talent in the country every day. Nothing demonstrates Boland's desire to help his players get to the next level than letting Domijan go to Miami for a golden opportunity at the next level, even if it meant that the team was somewhat disadvantaged in a match.

And don't tell me this type of recruiting strategy isn't working. Alex Domijan this year, Mitchell Frank is coming next year, and the last update on Jack Sock, he mentioned three schools as possible destinations if does go the Jesse Levine route. Texas, Nebraska, and Virginia.

mikej · 03-21-2011, 08:12 AM

well said automator

i was a bit surprised to see domijan out for such a big match, but whatever it's one regular season match that they were likely to win anyway, and a great example of practicing what you preach on Boland's part

i'm sure a few future All-Americans took notice of his flexibility

Clemson_tennis · 03-21-2011, 01:05 PM

Domijan lost to Reister 6-2 6-3

If Sock goes to Virginia -- that would be a heavily experienced team.

No way Sock is going to virginia. Coaching there is Poor at best. Sock is smarter than that. Good choice for him would be Georgia or Stanford.
