USC Rally Stuns Tulane, Denver Wins Thriller, USF Survives, #3 Seeds Dominate

The 2016 ITA Kick-Off Weekend kicked into overdrive today with action taking place at 13 different sites across the country. There was supposed to be tennis at all 15 regional sites but due to the winter weather hammering the East Coast play at Columbia and Wake Forest was pushed back a day so those 2 regionals will play Sunday and Monday.

While most of the matches were routine 4-0 or 4-1 wins there were a few barn burners with the most drama taking place in Los Angeles between USC and Tulane and in Columbus (OH) between Denver and South Carolina.

We’ll start off in LA for the second round match between the host and #1 seed USC and the #3 seed Tulane. The Green Wave jumped USC in doubles and took the point in just 25 minutes with a 6-1 win at #1 and a 6-2 win at #3. Tulane kept the momentum going in singles by taking the opening set at 1, 2, 3, and 6 with USC getting no more than 3 games in each of those sets.

USC was in desperate need of some good news and it got some at #4 and #5 when Jake DeVine and Logan Smith closed out their opponents in straight sets. DeVine’s 6-2, 6-1 win over Nikolas Tukic only took 55 minutes while Smith’s 6-2, 6-4 win over Sebastian Rey was right at 85 minutes. Sandwiched in between those wins was Dominik Koepfer’s 6-3, 6-3 win over Max de Vroome at #1 so the match was all square at 2-2.

Tulane’s Constantin Schmitz only needed 19 minutes to take a 6-0 opening set over USC’s Nick Crystal however Crystal wasn’t quite ready to quit. Crystal would take his first lead of the match when he broke Schmitz to go up 3-2 in second and just a few minutes later he’d find himself serving for the set up 5-2. Schmitz denied Crystal not once but twice to get the match back on serve at 5-5 but Crystal would regroup and break back and then hold to take the second set 7-5. Below is set point courtesy of USC:

Crystal would break immediately to start the third set and then consolidated the break with a hold to go up 2-0. After 4 consecutive holds Crystal would break again to go 5-2 and then he’d serve it out to seal the come from behind 0-6, 7-5, 6-2 win in a match that took right at 90 minutes.

USC’s first lead of the match would be short-lived because 5 minutes later Tulane would regain the momentum and even the match at 3-3 when Alex Van Cott closed out Laurens Verboven 6-3, 7-5 at #3. The last match on court was at #6 with Tulane’s Chi-Shan Jao facing USC’s Thibault Forget. Jao took the opening set 6-3 but Forget got the second 6-2. Jao broke Forget’s 1-1 service game to go up 2-1 in the third but Forget broke right back to even it at 2-2. Jao broke back and then held to go up 4-2 so now Tulane was just 2 games away from pulling off a huge win over USC in the Trojans own house.

Forget won 4 games in a row to close out the second set and go up 1-0 in the third so he was probably thinking I did it then so why not now. Forgot held for 3-4 and followed it up with a break to even it at 4-4. Forget held again to go up 5-4 then he’d break to clinch the win and save USC from what would have been a gut wrenching loss. With the win USC wins the regional and is now heading back to the National Team Indoors in Charlottesville in 3 weeks. Below is match point courtesy of USC:

Comments from Tulane’s recap

“We played a very tough match today against a very solid team, but just came up a little short, Tulane men’s tennis head coach Mark Booras said. “Got a great start in doubles by playing aggressive with a lot of positive energy. Then got a great start in singles too by winning four of six first sets, but just didn’t shut the door in a couple spots.
“We were clearly in the driver’s seat for a while and had the momentum in our favor, but just let our foot off the gas and let them back in the match, Booras added. “I know this type of loss is going to sting for a bit but I also know this group of guys and how determined they are. I know they will learn from this experience so they can keep on growing as a team.

While the USC from California came from behind to win the USC from South Carolina wouldn’t be as fortunate. South Carolina locked horns with Denver in the 2 versus 3 matchup in the Ohio State Regional and things started off on the right foot for the Gamecocks after taking the doubles point with wins at #1 and #2. South Carolina’s Gabriel Friedrich saw his first action since having knee surgery in November but he and his doubles partner Yancy Dennis lost quickly at #3. Friedrich was originally slotted at #2 singles but the knee must not have been 100% because he was pulled from the lineup which forced South Carolina to move everyone but its #1 up a spot.

Denver turned it around in singles by taking opening sets at 1, 2, 3, and 5 while South Carolina scrapped out a pair at 4 and 6. Alex Gasson put the Pioneers on the board with a 6-3, 6-2 win over Sam Swank at #5 and then David Fox would them ahead with a 6-3, 6-4 win over Andrew Schafer at #4. SC’s Wood Benton tied the match at 2-2 with a 6-2, 6-4 win over Jesse Ruder-Hook at #6 but Denver’s Henry Craig would answer with a 7-6, 6-3 win over Harrison O’Keefe at #2.

Denver was a point away from the win and its #1 Diogo Rocha was serving for the match at #1 leading Alex Fennell, 6-4, 5-4. Fennell would break back and hold for 6-5 and then have 2 set points on Rocha’s serve but Rocha fought them both off to force a tiebreak. Fennell would pull out the tiebreak 7-4 to send the match into a third set and give the Gamecocks some new life. Thomas Mayronne would tie the match at 3-3 with a 6-2, 4-6, 7-6(2) win over Yannik James in a back and forth tilt so now the focus was back on the final set between Fennell and Rocha.

Rocha would sprint out to a 4-1* lead in the final set but Fennell clawed his way back to tie it up at 4-4 after winning the deciding point on his 3-4 service game. Rocha held to go up 5-4 but Fennell quickly followed suit to even it at 5-5. Rocha went up 40-30 on his next service game and had a put away tapper at the net with Fennell pulled off the court but he managed to dump it into the tape to bring up the deciding point. Fennell would quickly get control of the deciding point when Rocha left a forehand short and as he came to the net Rocha went for the pass but his cross court shot went wide. Fennell just needed 4 points on his serve but he wouldn’t get a singles point as Rocha broke at love with a volley winner, overhead smash, a forehand winner, and lastly a Fennell error.

Rocha quickly gave the momentum away by double faulting on the opening point of the match deciding tiebreak and then he pushed a forehand wide to go down 0-2*. Fennell, sensing an opportunity to put the match away, came forward on the next 2 points but Rocha passed him on both to tie it at *2-2. Rocha gave the mini-break back to Fennell when he netted a volley along the sideline but Rocha would get it back on the next point when he looped a forehand crosscourt for a winner. Fennell originally called the ball out but he reversed his call before the chair overruled him. After the changeover Fennell had 1 more point on his serve and he’d retake the lead at 4-3 when Rocha netted a forehand. With Rocha serving at 3-4, he’d hit a nice flat forehand down the line that Fennell could only get a portion of the frame on and then Rocha went 5-4 after winning a long point with a volley winner at the net. Fennell pushed a forehand wide on the next point and now he faced a pair of match points at *4-6. After Rocha left a forehand short, Fennell came to the net but Rocha hit a perfect shot right at his feet and he was unable to scoop it up and that was all she wrote.

Note: For it’s worth I went 22-1 on the day predicting matches with this being the only one I missed – I was banking on Friedrich playing in singles.

Comments from South Carolina’s recap:
“Today, we ran into a good Denver team that was able to come out on top there at the end. Going into the match, our team knew that it was going to be tough not having our full lineup out there, but I’m very proud of our team for sticking around long enough to put us in a position to win the match. We came up a little short, but we believe good things are ahead for this team. We’ll need to recover quickly from the long matches because we’ll need to be in good form against Wichita State tomorrow.”

On a breezy day with temperatures in the 50s it was South Florida outlasting in-state rival Florida State 4-3 in a match that lasted 3 hours and 20 minutes. Florida State really took it to USF in doubles winning at #1 and #3 and leading at #2 when they clinched the point. The teams split opening sets with Cid, Cotrone, and Kalyuzhnyy banking them for USF while Rinaldi, Dougaz, and Whitehurst picked them up for FSU. Dominic Cotrone, FSU’s #1 two seasons ago, finished quickly with a 6-2, 6-2 win over Marco Nunez at #2 but Terrance Whitehurst put FSU back ahead with a 6-3, 6-3 win over Ignacio Gonzalez at #6. Roberto Cid evened it at 2-2 with a 6-3, 6-1 win over Benjamin Lock at #1 and then Vadym Kalyuzhnyy gave the Bulls its first lead of the day after he gutted out a 7-6, 6-4 win over Jose Gracia at #5.

USF needed just 1 of the remaining courts and it looked like Justin Roberts might provide the clincher after he went up 2-0 in the third against FSU’s Aziz Dougaz.  Dougaz, who just joined the team in January, rattled off the next 4 games to go 4-2 and would ultimately close Roberts out 6-4 in the third to even the match at 3-3.

Shortly after Dougaz won at #4, USF’s Sasha Gozun would take the second set at #2 to make it a winner take all set between he and FSU’s Michael Rinaldi. The FSU senior would hold serve to start the third set but he wouldn’t another game as Gozun took the next 6 games to seal the win.

Comments from USF’s recap:

“The crowd helped a lot, Gozun said. “We had a huge crowd this match and the team was pumping me up. I knew if I could’ve gotten to the third set, I would’ve won.
“Roberto did an exceptional job against one of the best players in the country, head coach Matt Hill said. “He really fought his way through that match and handled the situation and environment really well.
“I was telling him after the match, as a coach, you don’t know how that’s going to play out with so many emotions involved. I mean he’s got friends on the team, it’s just a lot going on in his head during that match, Hill said.  “I told him what an exceptional job being a professional, taking care of business, and sticking to the plan that was put forth before him.

“It takes a lot to beat Florida State in the first place, to drop to doubles against them and still get the win, Hill said. “It’s a huge accomplishment for these guys.

Comments from FSU’s Dwayne Hultquist:

“It was a great tennis match considering we were playing in pretty adverse cold and wind conditions. I was pleased with how we played doubles and Terrance did a great job today and has been good this spring. He showed a lot of maturity beating an experienced player.
“All the matches are important, but the match came down to Michael and I thought Gozun controlled more of the points in the latter part of the second and third sets. It would have been helpful for our team if one of our first set losses had come back and won the second set. That would have stretched the match out to our advantage.

Usually every year there’s at least one host that gets knocked off and this year that was Texas. Florida grabbed a pretty close doubles point with a 6-3 win at #2 and a 6-4 win at #3 and then the Gators picked up four opening sets with Diego Hidalgo, Elliott Orkin, and Jordan Belga each finishing in straight sets.

Florida will meet Texas Tech in the regional final after the Red Raiders blanked Ole Miss 4-0. Tech took the doubles point with wins at 1 and 2 then picked up straight set wins from Dojas, Cailleau, and Thomson at 2, 4, and 6 to seal the shutout.

What Coach Shelton Says 
“Our guys competed well today. We certainly were not sharp on every court, but we hung in there with good attitudes. We did have a few spots that played very well, but we’ll need to pick it up tomorrow. We are really looking forward to the battle.”

Comments from Texas Tech recap
“We didn’t play our best tennis, and I thought we played a little uptight at first,” Texas Tech head coach Brett Masi said. “That’s expected when you go on the road for the first time. I thought the six matches we played last weekend helped us out a lot during today’s action. Hugo (Dojas) played a great singles match. Jolan (Cailleau) and Bjorn (Thomson) are rolling and playing solid tough singles. All three did a great job of executing their game plans today.”

“I want us to play a little more relaxed and play with better intensity tomorrow against Florida,” Masi said. “We can’t have the valleys we had today, and we can’t let our play dip into our emotions. We’re a lot better team when we play with fire and energy. Florida is solid one through six in the lineup. We’ll need to play with intensity so we can fire on all cylinders.”

Quoting Head Coach Toby Hansson

“We had some tough matches today, and it really could have gone either way. We have to get ready to bounce back tomorrow against another good team in Texas.
