Probably better since he is back on the court. Maybe he needs more time to shake off the rust.

Luca is in the final of G1 in Venezuela. Kinda funny that he and Thai are getting results after leaving Boca. Maybe, something is wrong with their program.

He lost 4-6 6-2 6-3 but won the doubles title in straights

UVA is looking good for next year. Corinteli seems to be a force in dubs and Thai had his share of success in dubs as well. Good addition to an already top notch team.

Agreed but unfortunately I think UCLA will have the most talent next year. It feels like if we don't win NCAAs this year, we'll have a long wait ahead of us.

Do you feel that the addition of McDonald, Brymer and Di Giulio is a stronger one than that of Thai, Corinteli, Daigle and Aragone?

Well If I give McDonald the benefit of the doubt that he can achieve the level of tennis that got him to the AO semis last year then yes. But that no longer looks likely. And I'm basing it more on the fact that we graduate two solid seniors and they graduate no one important.

Since you've seen a lot of these guys play. Which recruiting class do you think is better between the two?

I ve seen a great deal of all these guys plkay on different levels. There is more talent in the UVA class coming up. Thai is a tremendous asset, Corinteli will mature later and will learn how to win matches he loses now ( a lot of upside there, great dubs player), Daigle is as good of a competitor as Di Guilio and a better athlete, and Aragone and Brymer is a toss up. Brymer is very one-dimensional and at 5 or 6 he will play lots of guys that will slice and dice him up. Macky is the most talented from the UCLA recruits, but in college you have to bring it every time you step on the court. Macky is alkso one dimensional and is very much a hit or miss, which is not a problem for a singles career (you have your wins and semis but you also lose first round in 7 out 9 next tourneys)but could be a disadvantage in college.

Wow what a bad last game to lose the set

Yes, but it became obvious he was going to lose the set when he missed that incredibly easy sitting volley to give himself double BP for a 2 break lead at 4-2

He let his frustration get the best of him in that first set. Yes, some of the calls are iffy but he should learn how to handle it better instead of wasting energy on the line judges.

[SapELee]

He broke himself with footfaults (how many in that game) He needs to be careful, he is playing a local here.
