SAY WHAT...
"The guys are still learning just how good we are, but were still making some small mistakes at crucial moments. Once we get those details figured out we are going to have that signature win. Our doubles again were fantastic again today. We trusted our games and stuck to them. I was happy for Yannick to get his first victory back after not being able to compete for a long time and it was against a great player. We're all disappointed in this one, but we have got to learn from it and get better for the next one. Thanks to Tennessee for hosting us. They show us so much respect and Sam does a great job here and they are going to have a great season." - Head Coach Mark Finnegan
