The Virginia men's tennis team fell to in-state rival William & Mary in a 6-1 match Wednesday night in their first dual match of the spring season.
Senior Jonathan Chou was a bright spot for the Cavaliers, winning his No. 4 singles match against the Tribe's Joe Brooks to capture the team's only point. Chou also won his No. 2 doubles match with senior Jason Romesburg over William & Mary's Brooks and Jeffrey Kader, but the Cavaliers were unable to capture the doubles point.
The Cavaliers return to the court on Saturday when they travel to face George Washington.
Final Four will not have national security status
The group responsible for securing the NCAA men's basketball Final Four in Atlanta has decided against applying for national security event status. This past week's Super Bowl was designated as such an event, leading to the implementation of a security blockade a block around the stadium and the involvement of the Secret Service. National security event designations are generally reserved for political conventions, Papal Visits, the Olympics or other events with international implications.

The Atlanta Organizing Committee responsible for protecting the Final Four is confident that the appropriate security measures already are in place. They will have the added benefit of a trial run of their security when the SEC Conference Championship is held in the Georgia Dome three weeks prior.
Some 53,000 fans are expected for each session of the Final Four in contrast with the 70,000 at the Super Bowl.
The National Football League sought such measures this year for the first time in Super Bowl history. It cost the league an estimated $6 million to upgrade their security to meet the additional standards.
