NCAA Singles: Win in Opening Matches for Quigley, Musialek
University of Kentucky men’s tennis juniors No. 6 Eric Quigley and No. 53 Alex Musialek each displayed an impressive opening round win on Wednesday at the Taube Tennis Center in Stanford, Calif. Both move forward to the second round of the NCAA Singles Championship.
Tying the school record for singles wins in a season; Quigley’s win was his 45th singles win this season. He overwhelmed Mehdi Bouras, 7-6 (2), 6-2, while Musialek topped Ed Corrie of Texas, 6-1, 7-6 (4).
In the first set, Musialek went past Corrie, 6-1 but was down 4-2 in the second when the rain came. There was a long delay in the game and when the game started off again, Musialek held serve and then broke Corrie en route to the tiebreaker. He won it 7-4.
In the first round of the 2011 NCAA Singles Championship, the University of Louisville’s Austen Childs overpowered Georgia’s 18th ranked Wil Spencer 3-6, 6-3, 6-2. In the second round Friday, Childs will face Kentucky’s Alex Musialek.
Quigley will play junior Marcel Thiemann of Ole Miss, who earned a win over Chris Kearney of California-Irvine by a 7-6 (4), 6-1.
On Thursday at 1 p.m. ET, the second round of the NCAA Singles Championships will resume. Until the NCAA Singles final on May 30, a round of singles competition will be played each day. The doubles event begins Thursday afternoon and concludes on May 30. Until late Wednesday night or early Thursday morning, times are not expected to be set.
