(TEN) M v Auburn, W v Ole Miss

Men up first in a VERY important match IMO. AU has been all over the place this season, some really quality wins but also some bad losses. This is likely a team UF is head to head with for that second echelon in the SEC and postseason. Need to win at home badly.

Spotty start in doubles. Up 5-3 on 1, down 2-4 on 2, down 2-3 on 3

 

Court 1 wraps 6-3, court 2 bounces back to 4-4, Court 3 down 2-4....tight point

 

2 and 3 both go to TB, UF takes a close on on 2, were leading on 3
Big point, need to carry to singles

 

1st sets almost completed
Nefve 7-5...ggreat battle
Grant 6-3 solid
Braswell was down now up 6-5
Nate 6-3, but getting blitzed in 2nd 1-4
Greif 6-3 2-0, playing well of late
Tokac lost 2-6 and was down 0-2 in 2nd but has reeled off 3 straight

 

Womens doubles underway....quickly up a break on 2 and 4-0 on 3

 

Grant and Greif up a break in their second sets
Nefve still in a dogfight on 1
Braswell gets his 1st set 7-5
Nate down 2-5 but up a set
Tokac 4-4 but down a set

 

W doubles tightens up on every court
4-4
4-4
5-3

Bad stretch for the men
Nefve down 2-5, up a set
Grant loses a string of games and down 4-5, up a set
Braswell 3-1 and up a set
Nate loses his 2nd, but up 3-1 in 3rd
Greif with a really nice 6-3 6-2 win for second point
Tokac 2-6 4-6 really poor loss

 

Women take the doubles point 6-4, 4-6, 6-3......Briggs and Gailis kind of collapsed in their match on 2 after leading 4-2

 

Men....Nefve headed to a 3rd set
Grant up 6-5
Braswell and Nate both 4-1 and 2 games away

 

Nate and Braswell with nice 6-2 sets to clinch it for UF
Looks like Grant won his TB and match
Nefve up a break in his 3rd

All in all, really really good outing today. Still have a little taste of Bama match but this was a really nice win

 

Mixed bag in W singles
Dahlstrom 3-3-
Briggs 5-2
Dudney 1-4
Gailis 4-4
De Oliviera 5-1
Spee 2-3
Appears the Shelton experiment was short lived. Sysoeva remains MIA

 

Nefve rolled in his 3rd set......UF 6-1 in impressive fashion

 

First sets wrapping
Sara all the way back for 7-5
Briggs 6-2
Dudney 5-7
Gailis 6-4
Emily 6-3
Spee 4-6
4 first sets for UF...ll matches competitive

 

Briggs first to the finish line
Gailis 4-4, Emily Dudney and Spee all down a break

 

Gailis gets it done for 3-0 UF....but UF down a break in every remaining set.

 

Dudney and Spee one game away from an L
Emily gets it to 5-5.....need her to finish
Sara down 2-3 in 2nd

 

Emily gets it done...nice 2nd set comeback
Spee goes down, need Sysoeva back at some point
Dudney still battling 4-5 and Sara now up 4-3

 

Congrtas to the team, probably their most complete match of the season IMO. Now have a huge match at TAMU and then the 4 match gauntlet. Vols seem to be playing better, USC has been the highest ranked but may be the most beatable, UGA and UK will be the toughest imo. Need to somehow get 2 out of the 5, stay over 500 for the season
