For a Charlottesville tennis fan, it probably doesn’t get much better than the $50,000 Virginia National Bank Men’s Tennis Championships that kick off today with qualifying rounds at the Boar’s Head Sports Club.

A former UVa star. The possibility of some big-name tour players. A fan-friendly tournament.

Huey, the defending champion of the tournament, could never find his groove against the former Radford standout.

Sayer didn’t dominate the No. 1-seeded Huey, but he was easily the more consistent player. That proved key in the 6-2, 7-6 (10-8) victory.

Now, the two meet again — in the finals of the $10,000 Virginia State Open Clay Court Championships at 10 a.m. today.

Having grown up about five minutes apart, Treat Huey and Othmane Garma have known each other for several years.

Former UVa standouts Ted Angelinos and Treat Huey capped a successful weekend with a 7-6(2), 6-4 victory over Albert Larregola and Ignaci Roca in the men’s open doubles final at the USTA-Virginia State Open Clay Court Championships at Glenmore Country Club on Monday morning.

After finishing his career as Virginia’s No. 2 player behind two-time NCAA singles champion Somdev Devvarman, it was Treat Huey’s time to shine on Sunday. The ITA All-American battled the heat and stiff competition to win the 2008 USTA State Open Clay Court Men’s Singles Championship at Glenmore Country Club.

Recent Virginia graduates Treat Huey and Ted Angelinos will meet in today’s semifinals after dispatching two opponents each on Saturday. Huey dropped just two games in wins over Ryan Radke and Ramon Bernal, while Angelinos matched his feat with wins over Richard Connor and Ignaci Roca.

UVa coach Brian Boland has a number of guys in the fold who might have the potential to be Somdev Devvarman’s heir apparent.

Virginia senior Somdev Devvarman continued his relentless march toward another NCAA singles championship on Thursday, dispatching the 22nd-ranked collegiate player, Erling Tveit of Mississippi, 6-3, 6-1 to reach the tournament quarterfinals

Virginia’s remaining tennis hopes advanced in singles and doubles at the NCAA Individual Championships on Thursday. No. 1 Somdev Devvarman defeated Clancey Shields of Boise State 6-4, 7-5 to advance to the round of 16. Devvarman’s 14th career NCAA Championship victory set a new record.

Virginia’s Somdev Devvarman began his NCAA title defense in strong fashion on Wednesday, defeating Ryan Preston of Vanderbilt, 6-1, 6-3.

On many Monday nights, at an eatery on the Corner, you can find Virginia senior Somdev Devvarman playing his guitar and singing the songs of his favorite band.

If you’re a bandwagon jumper, if you enjoy watching frontrunners, or if you truly appreciate greatness, then reserve a spot at Snyder Tennis Center for 11 a.m. this morning.

Somdev Devvarman and Sanam Singh didn’t have a single bead of sweat on them just minutes after their match concluded on Saturday.
