If Sandgren wins, UT will be guaranteed a NCAA finalist, bc he would have to play Williams.

Unbelievable! Thanks govols for keeping me updated! Go vols! Still can't help but feel bad that jp smith's career is done. He's def set a good precent of having a vol in the finals though, and now we r guaraneteed to have a vol in the finals for sngles or doubles for 4th straight year!

Have either of our guys played and beaten Johnson before? I'm guessing Rhyne is the more likely of the two to have played the 'stache.

I'm staying neutral between the Vols but am only hoping the one with the best chance to take down Johnson advances. That's probably Rhyne, but is Tennys playing so well this week that he has a chance?

This all assumes Johnson defeats Shabaz.

Williams has beaten Johnson before, just a couple months ago. I'm not sure if Tennys has ever played him, but he seems to be playing really well.

First set to Williams, but Sandgren rolling in the second set.

Rhyne gets the winner of Johnson/Shabaz tomorrow in the final! Great job to both players.

Johnson (USC) def Shabaz (UVA) 5-7, 7-6, 7-6

 

[GoVols2003]

Williams def Sandgren 6-3, 3-6, 6-0

Hopefully, Johnson used up his tank against Shabaz. Nothing would make me happier than to see Johnson get it handed to him.

Rhyne has played super well in the tourney and has fought back when it looked like he was finished.

Too bad there is no way to watch this match on tv. I guess I'll watch the security cam feed from Stanford.

Go Rhyne and Go Big Orange.

Johnson (USC) def Shabaz (UVA) 5-7, 7-6, 7-6

Where do you get this?

Johnson beat Shabaz 7-6, 4-2 with Shabaz retiring in the second set. So, contrary to what I thought, Johnson should be the fresher of the two finalists.

Doesn't matter. Let's go Rhyno!

Yeah, I just saw that....it was the score that was on the live feed. Guess it was wrong...tuned in as they players were walking off the court.

 

[VolsDeep]

do we know what time the match starts tomorrow? I'm partially glad that Rhyne is playing Johnson, just b/c nothing will make me happier than to see the douche cry and complain about every call as Rhyne wins the NCAA singles championship!!!!
