Scholtz was clearl...Scholtz-Cant was a great match. Scholtz was clearly the more talented player, however, Cant just kept the ball in play and actually choked the match. Cant served for it at 5-4 in the second, got broken at love, served for it again at 6-5 and led 30-0, then lost four straight points and got dominated in the breaker. Third set was also good, but of course Cant, the less talented player, like many before him, got broken at 4-4 and Scholtz served it out. Ive been very impressed by Scholtz's mental game in all three very tight matches for a freshman. Ole Miss has a very good guy at the top of the lineup for the next few years.<br /><br />By the way, Cant is Miss State's #5 player, a team that couldnt even make Athens. He beat Florida's #1 and should have beaten Ole Miss's #1. This also brings up something that I think takes away from All-American status. Miss State & USC's #5 guys played in the first round, with the winner only having to beat a player who may not have even had a .500 record at the #1 spot this season. Is that really All-American worthy? I dont think so.<br /><br />Quigley-Ilyushin was another really good one. Quigley came back from an early break in the first set. There was some controversy at the end of the first set, I think Ilyushin thought there were two bad calls, but I dont know exactly what happened. We could have three seniors(Johnson, Klahn, Quigley) in the semi's.<br /><br />Such a great lineup today, almost all the top men and women are in the quarterfinals. Just wish UGA would fix the video stream on Henry Field courts. Like we're watching it via dial-up modem.Austinnoreply@blogger.com
