[QUOTE="Longfrog, post: 2683866, member: 26611"] Unfortunately Norrie came up short in the finals. He said he was pretty nervous in the semis, so I'd imagine it was an issue in the finals. Good experience for next time. He opens the Australian Open late tonight against Taylor Fritz. Fritz is ranked higher but Norrie just beat him in Auckland. Different story for the Frogs, who got some very encouraging results out in the desert. They beat all three opponents, and while AZ State and Illinois played some backups due to illness and injury, #3 Mississippi State played at full strength and the Frogs downed them 4-3. Even Roditi seemed surprised by the result, as he was making excuses for the Bulldogs after the match (early in the season, not in mid-season form, etc.). I *think* these are basically preseason events and do not count towards team rankings. That's too bad, because that would be a signature win for just about any team in the country. The highlight of the tournament was Rybakov's win at #1 singles against Miss State's Nuno Borges, who finished each of the past two years ranked in the top 5 nationally. Rybo bagelled him in the first set and went on to win 6-0, 7-6. As I indicated previously, it feels like he's taken another step into the elite class of college tennis. Should be really fun to watch him this year. The other nice development was from Luc Fomba, who won all three of his matches in singles. We could dearly use some help at #5/6. It looks like he and Roldan will fill those spots. Doubles was more of a mixed bag. It seems like we always start the season slowly in doubles and improve along the way. Let's hope that's the case this year too. [/QUOTE]
