(TEN) NCAA Tennis regionals

Solid game, huge hold and uf gets the doubles point

 

Uf up a break on 1,3,5....down a break on 2,4, on serve on 6

 

Watching Gailis match on 4, she is down 1-4, but it's all unforced errors. IF she finds her range she will come back. GT player is just keeping the ball in play

 

Dudney first to wrap....nice day for her.
Sara serving for her match at 5-4
Briggs serving to stay alive 4-5 and down a set
Gailis cruises in her second set and quickly breaks to start 3
Emily blown out in her second set, but up 3-0 fast in 3rd
Spee down a set but up 5-2 in 2nd

UF in pretty good shape here, just avoid a collapse

 

Sara wins and Briggs loses.....3-1 UF
Gailis up 2-0, Emily up 3-0, Spee wins her second set 6-2......need one of the 3rd sets

 

GT with deuce game wins on 4 and 5....3-2 and 4-2, Spee broken at love to go down 1-2
Tightening up fast

 

Emily is disintegrating on 4, was up 4-1 and it's 4-4 in a blink...she's looks done
Spee loses 3 straight, 1-3
Gailis loses 2 straight for 3-3
That collapse I mentioned is occurring

 

Emily tried to give away her service game...2 double faults and no first serves, GT player gave it back with errors. 5-4 UF

 

GT with an easy hold for 5-5 on 5
Gailis finally gets a game for 4-3....it's probably on her now
Spee 2-4

 

Emily is the definition of beaten body language

 

Gailis gets it to 5-3, this is the match

GT boots an overhead for 0-30, 2 points away
GT dumps a volley into the net, 4 match points
Gailis only needs one, breaks at love for the match

 

2nd point of that final game showed me something.....GT ran her all over the court and she kept digging them out and throwing it back up until the missed overhead. Gutsy point

 

5 SEC womens teams advance, Auburn with the upset over Miami and UGA blanks FSU
UF gets the honor of facing #1 UNC...don't get your hopes up


Men's side....Okla St beats UF and then loses 4-0 to #14 Arizona. Emphasizes how pathetic that UF performance was.
Kentucky got a big 4-3 scare from Northwestern and Miss St struggled with Mid Tenn St., feels like the SEC is a touch overrated this year.

 

Agree. Emily was hanging like grim death, but I watched a lot of that match and she was going to struggle mightily in a tiebreak.
Spee match was a wild card, every time I tuned in a different player was looking better
