We are playing a 4th dubs match on court 8 - Azcona and someone else with a 1-hand BH that i don't recognize. Anyone?
I think that was probably Vikas Deo with the 1 hand BH.

Dominant doubles point for Wake.
Tough loss. Weird match. Unfortunately no live streaming so hard to tell how things went down. Dubs point was obviously very close and could have gone either way. Singles matches were up and down. Nice to see Karimov get the first set, but doesn't look like he offered much resistance after that. The first sets for Nava and Mel really hurt us. Nava was up 5-2 in the first and then was serving 4-4 in the 2nd. Mel up 4-2 in the first and then had a couple of break points at 5-3 down in the 2nd. Tough ask for Rezy as he hasn't played much, at least not against a high level opponent recently. I assume we just wanted to get him some match play. Moroni got the W, but really should have closed it sooner as he was a set and 3-0. Solid outing for Taha. Not going to make much of the loss, but I'll say that if want to get much higher than 6-9, we are going to have to win dubs point more often than not. OSU on Sunday is going to be tough. I hope we can make it a close one unlike UT and UVA recently.
Didn't realize Taha was playing an 11! Looking at the other teams in the top 10, us and UVA are the only 2 that don't appear to have a dominant player at 1 and in most cases dominant players at 1 and 2. Depth is important, but we it is going to be tough to be really good relying on 3-6 every match vs other top 10 teams.
Deacs got blitzed by #1 Ohio State today. OSU is very good, especially indoors, but we haven't looked good the last two matches. The only positive is that Karimov is at least putting up decent fights at 1 singles against tough opponents. We head to Seattle for the national indoors next weekend.
