The men's team is not playing in Tulsa for the fall All-Americans this week. Which is Kinda disappointing, cause always fun to see the players stack up against ones from all over the nation.
But they did play in Athens this past weekend: A look at some of the more interesting results
Noa Vukadin (2-2) def Richard Biaigotti (GT) 6-4 2-6 6-3 lost to Niels Ratiu (UGA) 6-3 3-6 6-3 lost to Krish Arora (GT) 6-2 2-6 6-4 def Ryan Colby (UGA) 6-3 6-1
Three 3-setters against players who will likely play important roles on their teams this year. Ended the weekend with a nice dominating win over Colby who has been in great form so far this fall.
Marko Mesarovic (2-2) lost to Ryan Colby (UGA) 6-4 6-1 def Nemanja Stefanovic (Mercer) 6-4 7-5 lost to Richard Biaigotti (GT) 6-2 6-0 def Spencer Gray (Charlotte) 6-7(3) 6-1 6-3
Maxwell Smith (4-0) def Coy Simon (Charlotte) 7-6(3) 7-6(7) def Robert Bauer (GT) 6-1 6-2 def Cyrus Mahjoob (UGA) 6-3 6-4 def Rohan Sachdev (GT) 7-6(5) 6-4
The take away from this weekend imo is Smith winning his draw championship with big wins over highly touted UGA recruit Mahjoob and over Sachdev. I had not given much consideration to Smith for the lineup this year but that seems to be a mistake. His game was very raw last year. He goes to the net A LOT and was a better doubles player. Maybe the new coaches have found a way to have him harness his game and greatly improve it which would be good to see.
Stewart Aronson: 2-2 Spencer Whitaker: 2-2 (also beat Biaigotti) Matt Pitts: 2-2 Trey Stinchcomb: 4-0 (won the tertiary draw)
Everyone else had decent weekends. Nobody had a losing weekend which is good.
