Very narrow and tough 3-4 loss in the ACC Tournament quarters, but Duke is a good team. #4 and #5 singles were close 3-set matches that we lost, but could have easily won. And the doubles point was close also and could have gone our way.
I went to the match. This is obvious for those who follow tennis on any level, but tennis is such a BATTLE, especially the men's. Almost every point is a slug fest, and takes so much effort to win. And these guys at the high-level D1 programs are extremely skilled. It's amazing to witness in person how good these guys are, and what it takes to win even one point.
This team can absolutely make the Elite Eight or Final Four in the NCAA tournament. Based on our latest team ranking of #8, we are hanging on as one of the 8 teams that would get to host a super-regional (round of 16 match), which would obviously give us a significant advantage in our hopes to make the Elite Eight.
