Mixed success, fall in rankings mar tennis win

The Virginia men’s tennis team will play its first post-Spring Break opponent today against Old Dominion at the Sheridan Snyder Tennis Center. In its last match, the then-No. 1 Cavaliers (15-0, 3-0 ACC) defeated then-No. 31 Virginia Tech (7-2, 2-1 ACC) 6-1.

Despite the margin of victory, the one match Virginia lost was significant. Senior Dominic Inglot, Virginia’s No. 1 singles player and then-No. 6 in the nation, lost for the second consecutive week in singles. He fell to Virginia Tech junior Yoann Re, 7-5, 6-1.

Inglot was not the only player who had a tough match. No. 12 sophomore Sanam Singh and freshman Drew Courtney each played close three-set matches .

No. 18 Inglot will look to bounce back against Old Dominion (7-5) to help the No. 2 Cavaliers remain undefeated. The Monarchs have struggled recently, losing their last two matches to UNC-Wilmington and Northwestern, 4-3 and 4-2, respectively. Prior to the losing streak, the team was ranked No. 69 in the nation.
