May 18, 20196 yr Author Wake Forest it is. Wake has the best singles lineup in the nation, so winning the doubles point against them is a necessity.
May 19, 20196 yr Wake did look strong, and the Tar Heels had been on a hot streak. Would be nice to see Sigsgaard win a singles match tomorrow.
May 19, 20196 yr Wake Forest has a good number one and number two player but their bottom part of the lineup is a bit weaker - Scott, Markes, and Banzer must pull through

May 19, 20196 yr That's crazy, only one player from those two seasons had any kind of a notable pro career, & she was known more as a Gator. From the '93 article... Quote Although she didn't earn All-America honors, one of the keys to the national championship run was Jill Craybas. She was originally projected to fill the No. 3 singles spot, but suffered a stress fracture in one of her legs in January. She missed the beginning of the spring season and did not return until mid-April. Without Craybas in the lineup, UT was 3-4 against teams ranked in the top 10 in the nation. With Craybas inserted in the lineup, Texas went undefeated, including the three consecutive wins over the top three teams as she posted a 6-0 record down the stretch. And '95... Quote Texas clinched the match at No. 2 doubles when Pastor and Taylor defeated former Longhorn Jill Craybas and Divya Merchant, 6-2, 5-7, 6-2. Pastor and Taylor went up a break, 4-1, in the second set, but Florida fought off two match points and rallied to take the final two games. After taking a 5-0 lead in the final set, the Longhorns fought off a furious Florida rally, clinching the match when Merchant's return sailed wide. Then this... Quote Rather than turning pro right away, she took the college route first, playing at the University of Texas at Austin during her freshman and sophomore years and helping to guide the Longhorns to the 1993 NCAA Championship. Craybas finished up her degree in telecommunications at the University of Florida, where she was the 1996 NCAA singles champion and a two-time All-American and Southeastern Conference Player of the Year, guiding the Gators to the 1996 NCAA team title. https://www.providencejournal.com/sports/content/20140714-the-future-is-open-ended-for-retired-r.i.-tennis-star-jill-craybas.ece She's a damn good commentator now.

May 19, 20196 yr Author 6 minutes ago, Valmy77 said: Yep. And according to these announcers Wake is the greatest singles team ever. They pretty much are, especially at the top of their lineup. They win most of their matches despite losing the doubles point. Now they have the doubles point in their pocket. Winning 4 of 6 singles matches against Wake is....very difficult. Not sure if any team has done that all year edit: Florida did it, but Wake was without Gojo, their #1 Edited May 19, 20196 yr by perfectchaos007

May 19, 20196 yr Is it too much to ask that they put the scores of the other matches on the screen someplace?

May 19, 20196 yr Author Banzer up a break on court 6. If we could take 4 out of 6 first sets things will get very interesting
