#1 U.Va. Men's Tennis Completes Undefeated Regular Season
Sunday, April 13 2008 by Tim - tennis
Singh and Angelinos finished their games almost simultaneously to complete U.Va's emphatic 7-0 destruction of Wake Forest today at Snyder. The Cavaliers did not even drop a single set the entire match en route to putting the finishing touches on a perfect 25-0 regular season.
The doubles point was more closely contested than the final result might make you think, but the Hoos ended up taking all 3 doubles matches including a tie break at #2 doubles.
The singles match-ups did not appear close at all. All 6 players won in straight sets as the Cavs took 73 games to the Demon Deacons' 34.
This team, led by the nation's #1 singles player Somdev Devaarman and the nation's #1 doubles pair (Devaarman and Treat Huey) has been the #1 team in the country since the beginning of the season. They won 25 matches total, including 8 against top 10 teams and 13 more against #11-50. Along the way they managed to pick up the National Team Indoors title (handing losses to then #8 UCLA, then #5 Ole Miss and then #3 Ohio State in the process).
Today's 7-0 win gives the Cavaliers an absolutely dominating total of 141-28 on the season.
Next up: The 2008 ACC Tournament in Altamonte Springs, FL next weekend. I have no idea where that is, but MapPoint tells me it's about halfway between Tallahassee and Miami, so at least neither of them get home court advantage.
After that: The NCAA Tournament starts May 9th and if I remember correctly, we should get to host the first weekend.
Definitely a season to remember for these great representatives of The University.
