Men's tennis hosting #50 Miami Thursday at 1 pm

Men's tennis returns to action after a full 11 days without a match against #50 Miami. This is our first match against an ACC team who is this ranking range and is one we really need to win.
Miami record breakdown: 10-8, 2-5 in ACC. Best win: 4-3 over #24 North Carolina, worst loss: 4-3 to #58 Virginia Tech.
Singles lineup:
1. Antonio Prat, So. Pamplona,Spain 2. Martin Katz, Jr. Chaumont-Gistoux,Belgium 3. Vladislav Melnic, GR. Bucharest,Romania /Transfer from Cornell 4. Adrien Burdet, SR. Bern,Switzerland /Transfer from Arkansas 5. Sam Baumgartner, So. Monstreaux,Switzerland 6. Alejandro Arraya, Fr.
Miami Analysis: Miami has been hurt by injuries and have had to play the last few matches compromised with only 5 players. They fielded only 5 players in a few ACC matches recently, meaning that they started the match with an automatic forfeit of #3 doubles and #6 singles. Despite that, they were still able to somehow shock #24 UNC a couple of weeks ago, which is the only reason why their ranking is boosted to #50.
This past weekend in losses to UVA and VT, they used Arraya at #6 instead of forfeiting that court. But it appears as though he is an emergency addition from the club team as he was just added to the roster on the website and lost 6-0 6-0 in his match vs VT.
Simply put, this is a match that we absolutely must win, especially with Miami compromised at #6. Our ranking is close to getting back into the top 75 thanks to the SMU winning gaining strength as they are up to #41 in the rankings. A win here would probably put us around #60 and keep faint NCAA tournament hopes alive with the more winnable part of the ACC slate coming up with matches vs #52 Notre Dame, #58 Virginia Tech and #38 Louisville in the next two weeks.
After Miami: Hosting #14 Florida State on Saturday.

The tennis rankings are done 100% by computer. Rig he now we have a win over #42 SMU but all of our other wins are against unranked teams (top 75) so they don’t really help our formula. We need this win for another formula boosting win.
So far we have played 4 teams in the top 25 in the nation from the ACC including #3 Wake Forest, so those are very tough ones to win. The reason why this one is big is because it’s winnable

Bad news. Looks like Nacho Serra-Sanchez is back for Miami. He usually played 4 or 5 in singles. Let’s see if he plays singles. That would eliminate their weak #6 problem if he is back

Thanks. No live feed? I'm not sure I understand the 2 double matches. Isn't usually just one.

And what do you mean? It’s usually 3 doubles courts to determine 1 point

I can only watch so much college sports. Good luck tennis and badminton and girls hockey and lacrosse and whatever else. Maybe we need a miscellaneous bored.

And there is no NCAA badminton. Also this is posted on the appropriate “other Clemson sports” board.
Thanks for chiming in.
