After taking the first set over No. 12 Natan Rodrigues and Fabien Salle of Louisville, the Cardinals duo won the second set to force a tiebreaker. Murgett and Dobai ultimately dropped the close tiebreaker to fall 2-6, 7-5, 1-0 (8) in the match and conclude their run for the title.
Stanford men's tennis closed its campaign at the NCAA singles and doubles championships at the USTA National Campus, coming home with a pair of All-Americans in Arthur Fery and Nishesh Basavareddy. The team ends the season at No. 18 in the ITA rankings.
Fery, the No. 3 seed, reached the quarterfinals of the singles draw with wins over No. 31 Emile Hudd (Tennessee), No. 46 Noah Schachter (Texas A&M) and No. 13 Liam Draxl (Kentucky), the last of which was a rematch from Fery's win in the NCAA Super Regionals in Lexington. Fery fell in the quarterfinals to No. 42 Murphy Cassone (Arizona State). Fery was guaranteed an All-America selection with his national seed, the second year in a row he has earned the honor.
Fery and Basavareddy also participated in the doubles event, opening with a win over No. 8 Ryan Goetz/Inaki Montes de la Torre (Virginia) in three sets before dropping a round of 16 battle to Pepperdine's No. 63 duo of Daniel de Jonge and Tim Zeitvogel.
I really thought that when the match went indoors it would favour Amelia with her more powerful game. But credit to Sleeth she kept making her play the extra ball . But great tournament and great year for Amelia at NC State.
So both Brits thwarted by Layne Sleeth. As for Angelica she lost only 3 matches since January - against the 2 NCAA finalists Sleeth and Tian and against the semi finalist Sieg.
interested to see their year end NCAA rankings. Hope the LTA supports them both this summer !
@PackWTennis · 17h Rajecki falls in 3 sets in the NCAA Singles Semifinal.
This season she shattered the record for most single-season wins in singles (40), which was previously set in 2011 at 33. Her match in the semifinal today was the first-ever NCSU WTen feature in the Singles Final
I didn't realise that - that's an amazing season, Millie
I caught bits of it. She served for the first set but made some nervy errors. Big serve, good one-two punch - looks to have a pretty good game for grass, in fact.
Hi - Thank you for all your kind comments ref Millie - she is on her way back as we speak to prepare for the grass season - a fitting photo below to end the season and a link to an interview following her win over Fiona Crawley - Go Pack!
