Bar played a real tough match in opener going 3 tough sets with last set 15-13. Hopefully, it was just early season fatigue.
Looks like ref overturned last point in the match to give Wake the win in the tie breaker.
Saw the video on twitter. That UK player was mad. So silly to let players have that much control. Wouldn’t have even been a ref there if it hadn’t been the last match I don’t think.
There are refs on every court for every match.
Really? I honestly didn’t know that. It seems like the players make a ton of calls themselves.

The chair umpire is there to officiate. The players call their own lines. However, the umpire can overall rule the calls. For example, the Kentucky player called the ball out against Baadi on match point. Baadi challenged the call to the Ref and the chair umpire over ruled the Kentucky Player. Ending the match.
Good weekend. I think dubs is going to be challenge all year, but hopefully we can find some good combos and develop some rhythm. Our 1st 4 appears to be set. I was a little surprised to see Nava out of the lineup especially since it was indoors.
I was surprised by the Nava exclusion too, especially since he played doubles and therefore wasn't trying to preserve a day of eligibility to be used later in the season. I think of Nava as more of an outdoors player, but he was serving big last weekend, so maybe he has more indoor game than I thought. Either way, I like his game and think he'll be important for us going forward.
This Friday (1/31) at home, the women play a tough Kansas team at 4 pm and the men play a good UCF team at 7 pm.
Sorry for another dumb question. What do you mean by preserve a day of eligibility? Do they only get to play a certain number of matches? I have followed tennis and this team for years but am trying to get a little more in to college tennis as a whole.
watching the stream, Deacs win the doubles. On court 2, there was a big argument at 5-5, both coaches got involved, does anyone know what happened
