(TEN) M and W Tennis vs AU-SEC opener

Men host AU today, women there tomorrow

After a dismal start for both teams it's a chance to start fresh. Men really need to win at home vs a beatable opponent. Losing today would be a VERY bad sign.
Women facing a very good AU team, need to see who is available for the women before judging that match

 

UF takes a close doubles point...crucial
Mid 1st sets, UF up a break in 2, AU up a break in 2, 2 on serve

 

First sets wrapping up
Jin getting destroyed on 1, 1-6
Ganesan edges out a win 6-4
Johnson plays well 6-2
Jefferson serving for the set at 5-4
Nirundorn 6-2
Edengren bageled 0-6, but up 2-1 in second.....h's been my biggest letdown so far, expected him to be a very solid #4 type player, and he is struggling to even play 6

edit Jefferson closes out his first set, UF takes 4 first sets. Looking solid

 

Nirundorn first to finish with another 6-2 set...nice outing
Jefferson next with an easy 6-1 set....UF up 3-0
Edengren had a nice second set lead but has blown it and about to lose
Johnson blows a lead and his second set 4-6
Jin has played well in his second, blew a couple of games but leads 5-3
Ganesan up 5-3 and close to sealing it up

 

Ganesan does close it out
Jin failed to force a third but still up 5-4
Johnson getting beaten in a super TB
Edengren forces a super TB

 

Came back and won every tiebreaker for the 7-0 sweep
Ladies with a much tougher task on deck

 

Auburn takes doubles point pretty easily....just been awful in doubles so far

Still no Lopez or Emily in singles, hopefully competitive today

 

First sets wrapping
Gailis 6-2
Dudeney 4-6
Gateway 4-6
Dauberniva 1-6
Spee 4-6
Oliveras 5-3
Not awful vs a very good team....but likely another L

 

Gailis blitzed in her 2nd set...on to a 3rd
Dudeney up 3-2
Gatenby loses set 1-6 and her match
Daubernova down 4-5
Spee up 4-3
Oliveras won her first and 2-2 in 2nd

 

Dudeney and Spee force 3rd sets, Daubernova in a 2nd set TB....pretty good battles

 

Gailis wins her match
Oliveras falls apart and lives hers....that hurts
Dudeney, Spee, Daubernova in tight 3rd sets
Turned into a really good match....pleasant surprise

 

Dudeney wins but Spee and Daubernova both lose 5-7 in the third...tough loss

Need Lopez and better doubles to beat quality teams

 

Men are facing Bama today at home.....Bama is decent but very beatable. They lost to So Car on Saturday

Match moved indoors due to rain. No video, no live stats, and incredibly incompetent twitter feed.
Have figured out uf lost the doubles point as usual. Top 3 singles underway, top 2 courts on serve and Janmagnus down 0-3.
Pretty poor start

 

Jonmagnus comes back to win his match on 3
Jin loses a close on 6-7 5-7, blew leads in both sets
Ganesan match all over the place....he won the first, lost a lead and the second set, trailed 0-3 in the 3rd but apparently has won 5 straight (assuming the feed is correct lol). Pretty much have to have his point, can't expect to win all 3 lower courts

 

Ganesan holds on 6-4 to even the match 2-2
Jefferson on 4, Nirundorn on 5, Edengren was slated for 6 but apparently benched for freshman Villard. need 2 of 3

 

Jefferson takes his first set 6-4

Nirundorn down 2-5....he's a little maddening, slow starter and streaky. He is a battler, so you never know...but in his 3rd year had hoped he might have stepped up a little more. But his size and physical limitations are a factor

 

Nirundorn battles but loses first 4-6

Villard with nice 6-1 set. Uf freshmen have struggled to finish matches, looks like we will need one today
