It wasn’t a good day to be seeded player in the men’s draw of the Oracle ITA Masters with each of the 4 seeds getting taken out in the 1st round.

Georgia’s Wayne Montgomery and Oklahoma’s Axel Alvarez, the #1 seed, squared off for the 3rd time in the last 12 months with each having won once. Montgomery won 1-6, 6-0, 6-3 a year ago at the Southern Intercollegiates in Athens while Alvarez won 6-1, 6-1 at the NCAA Team Quarterfinals last May in Waco.  Alvarez jumped out to the early break lead but Montgomery turned it around quickly and got off the court with the 6-4, 6-2 win.

Texas Tech’s Felipe Soares upset Virginia’s Ryan Shane 6-3, 4-6, 6-2. Shane who was the #2 seed and defending NCAA Singles Champion had beaten Soares in last year’s NCAA Quarterfinals 7-6, 4-6, 6-3 but Soares got the win today.

Duke’s Nicolas Alvarez ran his record against Baylor’s Julian Lenz to 2-0 as the Blue Devil sophomore “upset” the #3 seed 7-5, 4-6, 6-4. Alvarez won the first meeting last February in Chicago at the NTI’s 6-4, 6-2.

The other upset saw Tulsa’s Or Ram-Harel get past the #4 seed Notre Dame’s Quentin Monaghan 7-5, 4-6, 7-6(1).
