Singh moves on at VNB
Virginia’s Sanam Singh was among the winners Sunday at the Virginia National Bank Men’s Tennis Challenger at The Boar’s Head Sports Club.
Singh upended Australia’s Adam Hubble to advance to today’s final round of qualifying play. Singh, a junior, faces and will try to capture one of the four qualifier spots in the main draw.
Six other Cavalier team members competed on Sunday, but none advanced.
Michael Shabaz fell in a hard-fought three-set match to Russia’s Fritz Wolmarans (6-7 (12), 6-4, 7-6 (6)) that included a pair of exciting tiebreakers.
Today’s play begins with four final round qualifying matches, and main draw play follows. U.Va. grads Treat Huey and Dom Inglot will make their tournament debuts in afternoon matches.
Monday also includes the first of the tournament’s nightly feature matches. At
6 p.m. Americans Scoville Jenkins and Jesse Witten will take on Roko Karanusic of Croatia and Grega Zemlja on Slovenia.
The feature singles match pits veteran tour pro and two-time Olympian Vince Spadea and rising star Donald Young.
