Tallahassee Futures Update – Aragone/Koepfer/Spencer/Schnur advance

The $25K USA F40 Futures in Tallahassee is guaranteed to have a singles and doubles champ with college ties after some nice wins by recent Tulane grad Dominik Koepfer and Virginia senior JC Aragone. Koepfer came back from a set and break down and fought off a pair of match points to defeat the third seed Kaichi Uchida 4-6, 7-6(4), 6-2. Uchida led 6-4, 5-3 and served for it at 5-4 but Koepfer managed to break in a four-deuce game that included both of those match points for Uchida. Aragone won his second match in a row via a retirement, and advanced to his first-ever semifinal, after the second seed Tim Van Rijthoven threw in the towel down 7-5, 1-0.

On the other side of the draw Brayden Schnur advanced to his third semifinal of the year after ousting the top seed Sekou Bangoura 6-3, 6-4 while Wil Spencer moved into the semis for the fourth time this year after holding off Lukas Ollert 6-3, 7-6(9). Spencer led 6-2 in the second set tiebreak but Ollert won five straight to take a 7-6 lead. Ollert had set points at 7-6, 8-7, and 9-8 but Spencer managed to win the last three points to close it out.
