Today turned out to be a beautiful day in terms of the weather in spite of a rainy forecast. It also turned into a great day for tennis and a win over St. John's University 5-4 (click here for box score).
Playing once again without Dani and his lingering injury and Felix (flu) we still jumped out to a 2-1 lead after the doubles. A bit disappointed in the effort and intensity at #1 (Geza and Tamas) but #2 and #3 picked up the slack and pushed us to the lead. I was certainly pleased with Ricardo and Andrey at #2 playing together for the first time and beating a tough SJU team. Andreas and David continued their roll and won easily at #3.
The singles featured some pretty high quality and exciting tennis from both teams and we were able to win at 3 positions to clinch the match. Tamas was particularly solid today playing in his last home match as a Clipper. It has been a great career for Tamas and there are still a few more wins for him in the near future. It is too bad that Felix was not well enough to play in this one but I am sure he will be ready to contribute in the NCAA tournament and end his college tennis on a high note.
We now await the NCAA tournament bracket announcement tomorrow. We will be the #1 seed in the East region and have a bye in the first round. At this time, we are not sure where we will play and who our opponent will be but we will be ready regardless. Check back tomorrow and I will be sure to let you know the particulars.
Be well and nuff said...
Nice win. We need Dani back. Vamos!
