these are different teams than duke has been using so far.

everyone holds to start the match.

already down a break at 1 and 3, on serve at 2.

serving 2-5 at one, down a break

on serve at 2, duke serving down 3-2

down a break at 3, duke serving up 2-3

3 still down a break, duke serving up 3-4

must be playing long games at 1 and 2

3 still down a break, duke serving up 4-5

still down a break at 1, ags serving at 3-6

ags still on serve at 2, duke serving with ags up 4-3

still down a break at 3, duke serving up 4-5

still on serve at 2, ags up 5-4

desperately need to break back at 1 and 3 right now

still down a break at 1, 4-7, serving to stay in the match

still on serve at 2, 5-4

back on serve at 3! duke serving down 5-6...we need to break right here.

still hanging in there at 1, serving down 4-7

still on serve at 2, duke serving down 5-6

ags on serve and up 7-6 at 3, need a break here to get on the board

ags are up 7-6 on 2 and 3...need 2 breaks right now

ags hold and break at 1, back on serve! serving 6-7

still up 7-6 at 2...long game...maybe some break chances?

up 8-7 at 3...still with a chance to break

long games...still no updates...

duke breaks, ags drop 1 doubles 8-6. hell of a comeback against the #9 tandem in the country though...

ags up 8-7 at 2 and 3, with a chance to break in both of them to get the doubles point...

looks like duke took the momentum of winning at 1 and took 3 in a breaker

jerry and matt win 2 9-7...another chance at the doubles point slips away.

now it's time to find 4 singles wins.

find 4 singles wins? good hunting, I see maybe 3, unless we get lucky on 2,3 or 6

interesting matchups in singles

#16 jerry
#9 ludo walter

wooten
#20 stokke

simo
peter rodriques

conor
joey atas

nallon
dimitrov

joelson
chris brown

which 3 do you like? nm...i see you meant 1, 4, and 5

i think our best 4 shots are at 1, 4, 5, and 6

we need wooten to step up...he CAN beat stokke if he is prepared to stay out there and grind for 2 hours

1,4,5

Stokke and Wooten have played several times over the years, don't recall Wooten ever winning.

Joelsen hasn't won a matchyet this season, going back to September.

Dakki is Dakki. Rodrigues was 24-7 last year,
had most wins with Stokke second.

But you know, it is all about one on one matchups and the style vs style. It is time for the Ags to break into the win column.

personally, i wish armitraj was playing singles, so wooten could go up against him again

however, i would rather have wooten playing stokke than rodriques

I agree - I think we have a good chance to win at 1, 5, and 6. After that, I would say our best chances will be at 2, 4, and 3 (in that order). I have not seen Pollock play much, but it looks like he played well against UVA against a very solid palyer. Maybe he'll make a statement today. I really wish that we could have pulled off the doubles point -- looks like it was pretty close. At this point I would predict Duke 5-2 or 6-1.

Duke is an outstanding team and there is no shame in losing to them at their place. I hope that the guys go out there and continue to fight hard and give themselves something to build on. Our team is young and has nowhere to go but up. Although I like the fact that we're getting experience against top teams, I think that it was a little arrogant of Cass to start the season with this tough road schedule. I think that we'll probably be 4-9, maybe 5-8 going into conference play, which means we may struggle to have a .500 record this season.

cass was hoping to get a bid into national indoors so the plan was to play a lot of indoor matches to be prepared...unfortunately they didnt get a bid and instead are having a tough start...texas is up 3-2 on uva coming down to gubser-rizza...

gubser wins it...texas upets uva....i thought they would've beat duke the other day but not uva...

same here. wow.

UVA was a bit overrated at the start of the season -- the weakest #1 team I can recall (not to say they are a weak team - they are a legit top 10, just not a 1)...also think Texas is better than their ranking.

This one's over down 5-0 and now Jerry and John are just playing for pride. I don't think we have ever been beaten 7-0.

It's going to be a long season.
