ACC tennis

[TopDawg]

Big break there by Mengel to get it back on serve at 4 all in the 3rd.

UNC takes it 4-3.

[Clemson_tennis]

Great comeback from UNC. Dropping the first set on all courts. Away from home too. Epic win. This should put them in position to host in the NCAA tournament.

Very surprising result. I was beginning to think that Oystein Steiro (#6) was better than William Parker, and then they move Parker to #4 where he gets creamed. Burkhardt lost at #5, so it was not a particularly important lineup switch.

When you have to win four singles matches, and you take all six first sets, and then win three matches decisively in straight sets, it is hard to believe you cannot win one of the other three. But stuff happens in college tennis.

The Duke-UNC rematch in the ACC tournament will be interesting to see. Gotta think Duke will be psyched for that one.

[Clemson_tennis]

Oystein Steiro vs Tahir must have been a reall battle. two very good #6 players. Tahir hits the ball hard and flat while Steiro hits a heavier ball and is more of a grinder player despite his size. In the end I imagine that tahir made more errors and lost it.

The more I look at it the more I think the ACC will be mighty strong next season. Virginia will be at the top again. And Duke will be even better, probably a national title contendor with the senior season of Cunha plus the addition of Redlicki,Levine and Semenzato(who could be as high as 3 on the team as a freshman). wake Forest will immediately go from bottom to toward the top. Their best 3 players return and Moolman becomes eligible, plus the addition of a stellar 6 player class, headlined by Ho. UNC will lose Hernandez and Boyajian but adds a pretty decent class of recruits. Brett Clark will be a player immediately. FSU should remain about the same, probably get a little better. Clemson will lose nobody in the top 6 and *** Austin Ansari, will be better. The only team that will get noticeably worse is Virginia tech who will likely be the bottom feader next year(not counting BC). I potentially see 7-8 top 40 teams next year.

Hopkins at Wake is a senior.

I wouldn't consider him one of their "best" players. He fills a spot. I mean he is good but far over his head up there at 1 or 2. Kreyman,Prabhakar and Lee are the better players heading into the future.

Jose is a junior this year. Unless you know something, he should be back next year.

Brennan, Cameron Ahari, and Joey Burkhart are the three seniors with significant playing time that will have used their eligibility after this season.

Congrats to the Heels on a tremendous come from behind victory today!

Friday ACC action:

Duke at Maryland - Duke 7-0
Miami at Virginia Tech - VT 4-3
FSU at Virginia - 6-1 Virginia
Georgia Tech at NC State - NC State 4-3. GT can likely pull the upset but I feel like NC State will put in an extra effort to secure a tournament birth as they are right on the bubble.
Clemson at Wake Forest - Clemson 5-2.

[Clemson_tennis]

Clemson def Wake 4-3. Rigsby was down 5-7 1-3 and would only lose one more game to clinch

NC State def GT 4-3. Great win from Hodgson vs Spir. Staved off some match points.

VT def Miami 6-1.

Virginia def FSU 4-3. FSU won at 4-6, without Bucaro in the line-up. Not good news for UVA. They are starting to look vulnerable at the bottom. Courtney is having a hard time coming back to his form.

Duke def Maryland 5-2. Vlad Stefan routined Mengel somehow.

[Clemson_tennis]

Last day of regular season today, lots of positioning to be determined.

matches today(and picks):

Clemson at NC State - Clemson 4-3, Need doubles for sure.
GT at Wake - GT 4-3, will be a very close one
UNC at Maryland - UNC 6-1
Duke at BC - Duke 7-0
Miami at Virginia - Virginia 7-0
VT at FSU - FSU 5-2. Somen will win and one more for VT

[Clemson_tennis]

Amazing day of ACC tennis. I see no posts about it but that dosen't make it any less of a day.

Wake Forest def Georgia Tech 4-3
Wake sneaked the doubles point with two 9-8 breakers. Big efforts from Lee and Prabakar clinched it for the Deacons. Hopkins also with a strong 7-5 7-5 win over Spir at 1/

Maryland def North Carolina 5-2
Biggest upset of the ACC season thus far. The Terps decided they would refuse to lose thier last ever home match. Dominate doubles performance started it off. Then Vlad Stefan capped of a stellar weekend after beating Mengel Friday he knocked down Boyajian Sunday. Perhaps a bit of hubris from the Heels after their big time win over rival Duke.

Virginia Tech def Florida State 4-3
Another upset. Somen battled past Kelly-Houston and Antun put in his best performance of the season. This win likely gets Vt into the NCAA tournament.

NC State def Clemson 4-3
From a neutral perspective this is what college tennis is all about. Two seniors(Sullivan and Pulgar) rallying to clicnh the win on senior day at home. Very very tight match. Doubles was won in an 8-6 tiebreak at 8-8. Clemson led 3-1 and looked for all the world to have it in the bag.

Virginia def Miami 6-1
Struggles at 6 continue

Duke def BC 7-0

Lock beat Shane at #4 on Friday.

[Clemson_tennis]

for some reason only Jenkins winning appears in the UVA vs FSU match on the ITA site. So it was not in their personal records.

im working on 6.
