SEC Tennis

So what does everyone think Ole Miss' chances are in NCAAs? Can they advance or will it be tough because of depth. I think only way is win doubles, because otherwise they have to perfect 1-4. Five and six just not getting it done this year.
 
Vandy takes the point, it wouldn't surprise me if Vandy gave Georgia all it wants in singles. Austin will probably beat Pasha at 2, Yee/Brasseaux and Offerdahl/Wagland could be close too and you can't count Lipman out at home either.
 
Ole miss will get a top30 team in 1st round. They can win that but also can lose. In 2nd round a team like uga/unc/illinois on the road. That will end it. They ve no chance.
 
Vanderbilt about to take out Georgia by the looks of it. 2-2 and they lead 5-3, 5-2 and 3-0 (all third sets) in the remaining matches.
 
Just got down to Nashville and I was expecting to see Georgia/Florida tomorrow in the SEC Semis but Georgia decided to lay an egg today against a Vandy team that didn't have 2 of its normal starters in the lineup (Offerdahl/Kovrigin).

I can't believe Pieters lost to a guy that had only played 4 dual matches this year. To go up a break 3 times in the final set and then to go 0 for 6 on your service game is horrible. They said there was a big crowd there but the court Pete was playing on was 1 of 2 courts with no seating behind it so he should have been able to relax and take care of business.

It doesn't seem like Wagland is going to regain his form of last year - no way he should be losing to Rhys Johnson. Usually if you can keep the ball in play Rhys will eventually beat himself but it sounds like Wagland couldn't keep it play long enough.

No way to sugar coat this one it was a horrendous loss. If Georgia had won the SEC Tournament they would have climbed to 7 but now they are looking at probably finishing around 10 maybe 11 in the rankings so I guess ultimately IF they make it through their regional they'll face the same team they would have faced had they been a 7 seed.

Well I can look forward to seeing a good Kentucky/Texas A&M match tomorrow morning. It'll be interesting to see if Vanderbilt can beat Florida for the second time in a week in the second semi.
 
Texas A&M back on serve on 1 thanks to 3 Jomby errors. A&M up a double break on 2 and they are on serve on 3. If it comes to 3 it could be a while because every game so far has gone to deuce.
 
A&M now up a break on 1 leading 6-5 with Withrow serving. Lai has carried UK so far with Jomby having a rough day at the net.
 
Jomby down a double break already - his poor play in doubles has bled over into singles. One unforced error after another so far. It's still really early but aTm looking good and unless Kentucky starts playing this one could be a quick 4-0 rout.
 
Kentucky turning it up a few notches as they have erased a break on 4 courts and are now up a break on 4 courts. Adams has hit a rough patch and has started missing frequently as well as throwing in several double faults.
 
Jomby wins 5 straight and takes the set 6-4. Vinsant was broke serving for the set on 2 - after Vinsant hit a winner to go up 30-15 he got hit with a point penalty for saying F yeah too loud. On set point Gomez was wrong footed and hit a shot with his left hand (he's right- handed) and won the point and eventually broke.

That's a bit of a rookie error...
 
Vinsant just let that TB get away from him. Was serving up 4-1 in the TB and got overruled on a line call then double faulted and them Gomez hit a couple of nice winners to take it.
 
Szabo was down 5-2 in the 1st set and came back and won the set in a TB. 3 1st sets for each.

Adams has calmed down and is playing better and Efferding is up a set and a break.
 
Thanks for the updates Top Dawg. Makes it easier to follow along here in Australia where it's 3.30 a.m. Good fight from Szabo. Hopefully Vinsant will get back on track also.
 
Adams gets a split with Jomby. I hadn't heard Jomby say anything in English all match until he yelled out the F word by itself. He got a point penalty and Adams took the set on the next point. Adams and Jomby have been jawing at each other match.
