Sunday tennis

Impressive outing for the men, solid on all courts. About time lol

Women are fighting, will be unlikely to win this match without the doubles point....undefeated this season in doubles

 

Women lost the doubles point. Early in singles first sets and not looking good.

 

Yeah....take a small miracle for the women. Zein Dudney and Shelton all down a break. Kessler and Briggs seem to be playing well, Dahlstrom at 6 will likely be a key match.

Men must be playing inside....Coach Hoc mentioned that likely and a big advantage for UK
Riffice out fast early on 2, but Vale getting crushed on 3. Shelton at 1 and Andrade on 4 are tight. Assuming they only have 4 courts, 5 and 6 haven't begun.

 

Women
Kessler up a set, playing well
Zein getting waxed
Dudney beaten badly in 1st set
Briggs fell apart and blew her first set
Shelton lost first set and already down a break
Dahlstrom playing solid, up a set

Very doubtful this gets turned around.Disappointing and shows where the program is at the moment...2nd tier

Men
Shelton lost a tight first set 5-7
Riffice cruising 6-2 5-2
Vale boat raced first set, but up 5-3 in 2nd...typical Vale
Andrade 5-7 1-0

Goodger and Bonetto slated to play 5 and 6

 

Kessler closes he match out
Zein gets bageled in her 2nd....poor match from her
Dudney forces a third set, nice rebound
Briggs is now the key match....5-5 in 2nd, needs o force a third
Shelton loses in straight sets, didn't see a lot of fight from her
Dahlstrom with a nice win
3-2 TAMU

Shelton forces a 3rd, nice second set from him
Riffice easy win
Vale down 2-3 in 3rd...typical Vale match
Andrade a game away from losing, disappointing

 

Dudney at 3-3 and Briggs 1-1 in 3rd sets, need both. Battling at least


Andrade loses a tiebreak and his match...2-2 now
Shelton up a break in the third, Goodger up a break in his first

 

Briggs falls apart in her 3rd and TAMU takes the match. Dudney up 6-5 in her 3rd

Shelton completes his comeback to make it 3-2 UF
But Goodger falls apart and loses his first set after being up 5-3
Bonetto is down 3-5 in his first. Not a great start for the remaining matches

 

Dudney loses tiebreak
TAMU 5-2. This was a match UF needed, not a good sign

 

Goodger gets destroyed in his second set in no time....not the way to work yourself into the lineup
Match now 3-3. UF's 3 losses are all by 5th year seniors who have played more tennis than anyone in the country.

All down to freshman Bonnetto on 6. Comes back from a break to force the TB, then rallies late to win the tiebreak and the set. From watching this match it could go on for a while.

Personal note, nothing more annoying than coaches going on the court to talk to their players after every freaking point in the tiebreak. Both teams

 

Bonetto gets a big break to go up 3-2. If he gets that big lefty first serve in he is tough to beat, other than a couple of dumped volleys into the net

Coach Hoc was right, these courts are fast

 

Beautiful hold at love...4-2 now

 

UK with a tough hold, Nate with an easy service game....5-3

 

Welp, nothing is easy
UK holds for 5-4
Nate goes down 0-30, wins 3 straight to hold 2 match points. Plays them both passively and loses the game
5-5

 

Nate breaks right back, dug deep there
Serving again for the match

Goes up 40-0....blows a couple of match points before closing it out. Good for the rookie
