Morning tennis fans we are getting ready for day two of the ITA Northwest regional tournament. Unfortunately I don't have much time for a full recap (matches start in an hour). Great results for the Whitties -- we placed 9 players into the final 16!
Couple interesting results. The three Whitman freshman (Jeff Tolman, Sam Sadeghi and Matt Tesmond) had HUGE days. Jeff who is the #9 seed won both of his matches without dropping a set. Sam Sadeghi won his first match then took out the #6 seed (Michael Manser #2 player from PLU) 6-4, 6-3. Matt Tesmond squeaked by his first match in a match breaker then defeated the #5 seed (#1 from Whitworth Michael Shelton) 6-3, 6-2).
Match of the day I didn't see (was played indoors). Senior Thomas Roston defeated the #11 seed (#3 from PLU) 7-6 (15-13), 6-4. Fellow Canadian Jasper Follows cruised into the round of 16 without dropping a set. #15 seed Quin Miller had a first round battle (winning in a match breaker) then won easily in the 2nd round. Conor Holton Burke made a splash in his first regional tournament defeating the #16 seed in three sets and then beat the #1 from UPS. Chris Bailey had a bye and the won 6-0, 6-3.
We had an awesome night of doubles. Matt and Jeff had a bye then won 8-0. Chris and Jasper had a bye then 6-0, 6-3. Quin and Conor won their first match against the #3 from PLU then upset the #3 seeds (#1 from Linfield) 8-3. The freshman Matt and Sam won their first match then beat a very good Willamette team 8-5. That Willamette team won the Linfield Wildcat Open last week.
Sorry for the brief post and/or grammar problems. Getting ready to hit the courts and don't have time to proof read!
