In just a few days, it's going to be all NCAA all the time here at zootennis. I'll be in Athens from team start to individual finish May 17-May 28, and so am paying very close attention to this weekend's regional play.
In this week's Inside Junior Tennis podcast, ITA Director of Communications Casey Angle joins us to talk about the upcoming NCAAs, why Athens is a special place in college tennis, and what's going on in the other NCAA championships--DII, DIII, etc.
The University of Florida Gators are back in the Sweet 16, defeating Florida State 4-3 today in Tallahassee. An anonymous commenter was at the match, and thinks the Gators have a chance against Georgia if they can win the doubles point, but I don't see the Bulldogs having any sort of letdown when they take the court in front of their home crowd next Thursday night, especially against a conference rival. I do agree that the Isner - Levine match at No. 1 will be worth the price of admission. Here's the details of todays's win over the Seminoles from the Gatorzone.
Last year USC didn't even make the NCAAs, this year they dumped the defending champion Pepperdine Waves 4-0 to make the final 16. The USC website has the details.
Duke lost to Alabama (4-3) at home, and North Carolina, the No. 6 seed, was shutout on its home courts by NC State. If Wake Forest doesn't come back (they are tied 3-3 with Clemson and the final match, at No. 3 singles, is in the third), it will have been a pretty dismal day on Tobacco Road.
