I saw on the Floridagators article that this is our first time reaching the sweet sixteen since 2017? How is that even possible? Even I didn’t even realize it was that bad.
Lost 3 times in the second round, barely made it in one of those years. And their worst team was the covid year, had been awful before the season was canceled
Looks like weather will be an issue today. Anyone know how many fans are allowed if the match is moved indoors? Is a really small number or is there a reasonable chance to get in and watch the match? Thanks
Unc obliterated the women in doubles Singles underway now....hopefully uf can put up a decent battle. Shelton at 6 is down 0-3 in a blink, incredibly disappointing year from her.Thought she would be solid as a 3-4, been a liability at 6
Zeina and Shelton getting destroyed 0-4 for both Kessler and Dudney up a break Briggs and Dahlstrom on serve
Women lost 4-0, but at least won 1st sets in the 3 unfinished singles matches. Better than I expected honestly.
Problem is they were not competitive in doubles, and Zein and Shelton were not remotely in their matches Props to the other 4 who put up good battles Lose your top 2 players, one elite recruit and one somewhat unknown Not sure we project to be any better
Men off to a slow start in doubles Blown out 6-2 on court 2, after being up 2-0 Win 6-4 on court one Just held serve to even it at 5-5 on court 3
Easy hold to force a tiebreak.....go down 1-2 then run the table for an easy W. Huge comfort zone to get the doubles point. Would take a big meltdown to lose 4 singles points with this team. Seem to have locked in the lineup....Siimar at 5 (not sure I love that) and Goodger at 6. Bicknell running the table at 5 was key to the team winning it all last year. Not sure Siimar gives them that. But we probably are stronger up top with the development of Shelton.
Shelton absolutely blitzes his guy 0 and 1....he's done while 3 matches are still in the first set Riffice dug a big hole, got back to 4-3, now at 6-5 Vale 6-4 0-1 Andrade 6-5 Siimar 6-5 Goodger 6-1 4-2....e should make it 3-0 shortly
Goodger with a solid win....he played his best tennis late last year, seems to be doing the same now Riffice gets a 7-5 first set Siimar and andrade both lose 1st set tiebreaks, neither has been playing well of late. And the number 2 doubles team that lost 2-6....Andrade and Siimar Vale is up 4-1 in 2nd, he should be the guy to clinch
Little concerning with Andrade in the postseason In Singles-Down a set and a break today. Was in a tight match vs Miami. Was down a set vs New Orleans. Was down a set vs Kentucky. Lost his first set before winning vs Vols. Was up a set but about to lose his second vs LSU. In doubles. Lost 6-2 today. Were down 5-4 to Miami. Won 6-2 vs UNO. Were down 5-4 to UK. Lost 6-4 to Vols. Lost 5-0 to LSU In 6 postseason matches hasn't really had a good performance other than the comeback in singles vs UT
Vale hits a bad patch, now down 5-6 after being up 4-1 Andrade down a set and 2-4 Riffice up a set but down 3-4 Siimar down a set but up 4-3 Scuffling a bit here
7 seed UVA is next....they have won each round 4-0 thus far Teams played early in the year. UF won a split doubles point. Riffice won at 1, Shelton won at 2 (7-5 in3rd) , Vale lost in straight sets, Andrade won easy, Goodger was down 4-1 in third, Grief beaten badly at 6. So essentially it was a 4-3 match decided by a close doubles point. Goodger at 6 probably a better matchup. Vale probably paying better. Andrade vulnerable, as is doubles
