The No. 4 Virginia men’s tennis team narrowly avoided an upset bid Friday from No. 17 Clemson before ultimately prevailing 4-3. The team then cruised to a 7-0 victory the next day against Georgia Tech.
The Cavaliers (17-2, 8-0 ACC) were handicapped by illness entering the match, and were forced to field doubles teams that had little experience playing with each other. Unable to get much going in the double’s portion of the match, Virginia dropped only its second doubles point in conference play this year.
The Tigers (17-5, 4-3 ACC) continued to test the Cavaliers in singles play, scoring two more points. Tied at 3-3, the match came down to senior No. 24 Alex Domijan against No. 82 junior Hunter Harrington on the first court. After dropping the first set, Domijan came back and won the next two sets to clinch the match for the Cavaliers.
Virginia concluded its road trip Saturday by taking on No. 64 Georgia Tech. The Cavaliers were able to field much of their normal lineup against the Yellow Jackets (7-11, 1-7 ACC).
Junior Mitchell Frank and senior Justin Shane took down the No. 23 pair of junior Eduardo Segura and freshman Carlos Benito as Virginia bounced back from the previous day to win the doubles point. The Cavaliers never looked back after the doubles point, winning all six singles matches in straight sets to take the match, 7-0.
The Cavaliers will return to the Snyder Tennis Center this weekend for the final regular season home matches, hosting North Carolina State and Wake Forest.
