(must reach finals to punch ticket to NCAA)
- #85 Alexis Nguyen (10.88) vs #49 Kristina Paskauskas, (10.65) of aTm: starting now
- #21 Evans (11.33) vs #34 Ashton Bowers (10.XX) of Auburn later this afternoon
Winner of Evans's match gets Emma Dong (11.05) of UGA
Singles main draw consolation:
Evans wins! 6-2, 7-5
On the penultimate point, Bowers of Auburn called it out, it was overruled and she got a one point penalty, which means there was never a match point, lol.
Not sure what is going on with A. Nguyen's match: it was 7-6, 1-6 but no 3rd set, so maybe Nguyen withdrew?
Looks like aTm's Paskauskas has advanced.
Tomorrow consolation round of 16:
Evans wins! 6-2, 7-5

There have been a lot of retirements in this tournament. It’s been a ton of tennis day after day so hopefully the coaches are just being really cautious and telling the athletes to stop if they cramp up or something like that.
Speaking of a lot of tennis, Tatum Evans has now won her fourth Consi match in two days. Warrior. Beat two players from UGa today. She will play the woman from Ohio St who beat Nguyen in the main draw (3 sets). If she wins, she makes nationals.
Zampardo / Maltby are through to Nationals, won again today so play in the Main Draw finals tomorrow.

evans in a tough one right now bs Ohio State’s Sophia Cisse-Igniatev loses the first set 6-7 (5-7)
Zompardo/Maltby will face Perry/Johnson of Ohio State once Perry gets her rest period.
missed yesterday: rabman/manning made it all the way to the doubles semifinals but lost to UVA
That’s because Luciana Perry of Ohio State, the #2 seed going in, rolls Mimi Xu of dook for the singles title: 6-2, 6-1
thred Tar Heels were eliminated by the top 3 performers:
Frey lost to winner Perry,
Khirin lost to dook’s finalist Xu; only one to take her to 3 sets
Evans lost to semifinalist Nishino, also of Ohio St
this should help in rankings and eventual NCAA seedings should they all punch a ticket at a later tourney
ohio St with about as good a showing as you could hope for. they are also in the doubles consolation draw final later today.

Evans falls 6-7, 3-6, just misses the consolation draw final and automatic ncaa berth.
Brantmier earns 18K euro for 2nd place on the Porto Open a WTA125 event in Portugaul.
ITA Regionals starts tomorrow and we have 12 Women in total who will play (our entire roster). As a reminder, there are 13 regions and two from each (plus one doubles team) region get a NCAA qualifying berth by reaching the finals. We are in the Carolinas region, hosted by UofSC
We start with the Qualifying draw on Thursday where Alana Boyce, Avery Nguyen, and Mary Grace Rennard will start. The other 9 all received berths in the main draw.
Here is the bracket:

Here is the bracket:
Boyce, Avery Nguyen and Renard all win both of their qualifying round matches today and advance to the main draw.
So that means all 12 women on the UNC roster will be playing tomorrow morning in the Round of 64; that is a first.
We also have 5 doubles teams in the draw so 10 of those 12 will be playing doubles as well.

ITA Sections Main Draw Round of 64 is underway:
The Heels are 5-0 so far, 3 more matches just starting
The Heels are 5-0 so far, 3 more matches just starting
Wow, the Heels go 9-3 in the round of 64 with only the three qualifying draw entries losing due to tough outs with their low seeds.
- Rennard loses to the 3 seed Tanasie of NCSU (10.91 UTR).
- Boyce loses to Suchanova of Clemson (10.XX)
- Aya Manning put up a good fight with the #2 seed Carnicella of UofSC (UTR 10.97) but falls 3-6, 5-7
Agree, 9-3 really great. I thought we would win 6-8.
Avery Nguyen (the less-heralded one) had a nice win against a seeded player from Wake.

Big upset with Alexis/Ava winning. Love the celebration. Embrace the NC state hate.

Heels have 3 doubles teams who have won twice and advanced to the round of 16
Mixed results in the round of 32:
Evans, Frey, Zampardo, Khirin and Ashar all lose. that is most of our seeded players, so upsets galore.
Nguyen, Nguyen, Hamilton and Rabman all win.
Hamilton upset Osuwuigwe of NCSU, probably the biggest win. thanks to that Avery Nguyen and Hamilton are now playing each other in the round of 16.
round of 32 doubles:
khirin/Frey, Evans/Hamilton,manning.Nguyen all advance, the latter with a big upset over NCSU. Boyce/Rabman fall

Singles Round of 16:
Avery Nguyen defeats Alanis Hamilton in some Heel-on-Heel violence; advances to the Quarterfinals.
Rabman and Alexis Nguyen also win again and both go to Quarters.
We are still alive to grab both NCAA qualifications: Avery is alone in the top half of the bracket. Alexis and Rabman would eventually clash for the qualifying spot in the semis.

Evans/Hamilton cruise pas NCSU 8-3 to reach the semis
Manning/Nguyen battle back from down 2-6 but ultimately lose to UofSC 7-8 (3-7)
6 Seed Hamilton/Evans will face the same 5 seed Carnicella/Bergqvist duo of UofSC in the semis

She would have been in a battle to make top 6 like in previous years (last year she was #6 in the fall until Zapardo became eligible)
I would also guess (but do not know) that she was a walk-on at UNC whereas Wake gave her a scholly.
Great to have 3 in the quarters, although Nguyen x 2 and Rabman was not the combo I would have expected. We have really really good depth but, like has been said, are probably a little weak at the top.
Avery Nguyen started out in the qualifying bracket and has now won 6 in a row to reach teh semis. What a marathon. Win the semis and she qualifies for the NCAA Singles Championship. She just beat Yu of dook 6-4, 6-4.
She will face unseeded Stojanova of UofSC who just beat 9-16 seed Rabman 5-7, 5-7
5 seed Alexis Nguyen fell to 3 seed Tanasie of NCSU 1-6, 0-6
So Avery stands as our only chance at a qualifier in this tourney for singles.
Evans/Hamilton are fighting it out in the Doubles semifinals right now, up 4-2 over UofSC. Win this match and they too will play for an NCAA berth next round.

Evans/Hamilton win a war: 5-7, 7-6 (10-8), 12-10
They will face NCSU's Osuigwe/Gilheany (the 1 seed) for the title and the NCAA berth.
Tomorrow (Tues) at 1 PM
Avery Nguyen's semifinal match starts at 10:30. I believe they likely will not play the final?
side note: Hey South Carolina, stop putting a permanent "Carolina" and "visitor" on your scoreboards. It is confusing as hell, especially when you are not even in the matches. we are often playing matches where "Carolina" is the other team and we are the visitors.
Nobody outside of Columbia calls you Carolina. Not even your rival. Nor your conference.

Your side note made me laugh out loud. I actually went to USC for business school, and I can tell you there is no way they will back off calling themselves Carolina. It’s a key output of the inferiority complex they’ve got going down there.
The team did very well, considering this team is relatively young and has transfers who have never played with one another before. The freshman class has proven themselves in such a short time. The transfers are settling in. It appears that our sophomores like Frey have made the jump from their freshman year to their sophomore year. Overall, they should be proud of themselves. They must continue to put the work in and get better each tournament moving forward. This should help build their confidence moving forwards as a team. They did lose some key players to graduation this past year. Go Heels!
Again LOL! I can’t begrudge them USC although I greatly appreciate the UofSC nomenclature.
Their own athletic marketing department did a study in the late 2000s that determined that Carolina is universally the Heels and USC is universally the Trojans everywhere but in South Carolina. As a result, you will notice they never refer to themselves as either in official athletic communications.
