North Carolina won the big match of the day as they knocked off cross town rival #6 Duke 4-2. The Tar Heels started off by taking the doubles point as its #3 team of Esben Hess-Olesen and Andrew Gores provided the clincher winning 8-5. The senior duo had never played an official doubles match before today but were thrown together after fellow senior Oystein Steiro had to sit out with an injury. Duke quickly tied the match at 1 with Chris Mengel picking up a win when Esben Hess-Olesen was retired with an injury when trailing 5-2 in the 1st. Just a few minutes later UNC would retake the lead when Robert Kelly laid out TJ Pura 6-0, 6-1 at #6...

Pretty decent schedule of matches for a Thursday with Duke making the 10 mile trip to Chapel Hill to face North Carolina plus at least 2 of the matches in the SEC should be competitive. I have the live scoring links below so follow along when they get underway. #6 Duke (19-3) at #16 North Carolina (16-8) – 3pm est – Live Scoring – North Carolina leads the overall series by a wide margin (89-38) but Duke has won 4 of the last 5 so for North Carolina’s sake it’s a good thing that Brayden Schnur came back last week. The Tar Heels went 4-3 in Schnur’s absense but upon his return they were able to beat...

This morning I got a chance to watch the Fox Sports Oklahoma telecast of Tuesday’s Oklahoma/Virginia match and I must say I was impressed with the production of the match and the quality of the announcing. The version I watched was taped and edited but they did a good job bouncing around from court to court. They started the telecast a few games into singles and started showing the match at #1 singles but they also showed several games of the Alvarez/Shane match at #2 singles. After those 2 matches finished up they showed the last 3 games of the Webb/Kwiatkowski match and then showed the last several games of the Bragusi/Aragone match....
