We took it to our florida teams this spring break ! We came out sweeping all three doubles matches against Florida Gulf Coast then winning 5 of the 6 singles matches to clinch a 6-1 kill. Brandon and I beat their number one doubles team 8-1 with Chuck and Fife clinching and Tommy and Kendo sweeping! I won at #6 singles 6-0 6-0 and it was the same story on other courts with easy match wins across.
Against FAU, we came out sluggish in the doubles dropping all three matches in close scores. Brandon and I lost 8-6 to their team. But we came out fired up in the singles and claimed three quick victories at 4, 5, and 6 with me winning a comfortable 6-1 6-3 at #6. However, rain inevitably caused us to call a “scratch” or a discounted match as we were not able to finish the dual match up 3-1 and in comfortable position to seal the victory.
