Monday and Hudd Fall in NCAA Singles First Round, Doubles Play Begins Tuesday

LAKE NONA, Fla. – Two members of the Tennessee men's tennis team fell in the NCAA Singles Round of 64 Monday afternoon at the USTA National Campus in Florida.

No. 5 overall seed Johannus Monday dropped a three-set match to Virginia Tech's 47th-ranked Ryan Fishback, 4-6, 6-2, 3-6. Monday logged a 19-4 singles record this season, including a 12-3 mark against ranked competition.

Tennessee graduate student and 31st-ranked Emile Hudd fell to No. 3 overall seed Arthur Fery of Stanford in straight sets, 4-6, 2-6. The matches began outdoors, but were completed on the indoor courts due to lightning in the area.

The NCAA Doubles Tournament begins Tuesday. Monday and graduate student Pat Harper, competing as a No. 5-8 overall seed, face Louisville's Natan Rodrigues and Fabien Salle in the Round of 32. The start time for that match is TBA.

All doubles matches will be best two-out-of-three sets. A 10-point super tiebreak will be used in lieu of a full third set.
