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
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
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
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
