Cornut-Chauvinc, Hultquist Take Home ACC Honors. April 25, 2024 TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Florida State senior Antoine Cornut-Chauvinc is the ACC Men's
Tennis Player of the Year and head coach Dwayne Hultquist is the conference's Coach of the Year, it was announced Thursday. Hultquist led the Seminoles to their first ACC Tournament championship by
defeating No. 65 Virginia Tech, No. 11 NC State, No. 7 Wake Forest and No. 2 Virginia in consecutive days. Florida State was the first school to win four matches in four days to claim an ACC title and
also became the first school to defeat the No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 seeds in the same tournament. FSU's win over Virginia snapped the Cavaliers' 62-match winning streak over ACC opponents and improved
the Seminoles to 15-2 away from Tallahassee this season. Hultquist is the ACC Coach of the Year for the second time in his career, after also earning the honor in 2018 when FSU finished with 28
wins. Cornut-Chauvinc is 23-2 overall in singles this season, including 17-2 against ranked opponents. His 7-6 (4), 6-7 (4), 7-5 win at No. 1 singles in the final of the ACC Tournament over the No.
4-ranked player in the country completed a comeback for FSU from down 3-1 in the team match to clinch a 4-3 victory. Cornut-Chauvinc showcased his grit in his singles match, coming back from a 5-2
deficit in the third set to win the final five games and claim the program's first ACC Tournament title. The win also completed a perfect 4-0 ACC Tournament for Cornut-Chauvinc. Cornut-Chauvinc
leapfrogged his opponent from the ACC Tournament championship match to No. 3 in the national singles rankings. The Lyon, France, native has dropped only eight sets during his 25 matches in the spring
season. Cornut-Chauvinc is the third different FSU player to be the ACC's Player of the Year, earning the program's fourth ACC Player of the Year honor, and first since 2009. He also was named
first-team All-ACC in singles for the second consecutive season. Cornut-Chauvinc and junior Joshua Dous-Karpenschif earned second-team All-ACC honors in doubles. The duo, ranked 19th nationally, is
14-10 overall this season and has played all 24 matches at the No. 1 position. It is the first all-conference doubles honor for the duo. Junior Jamie Connel joined Cornut-Chauvinc on the All-ACC
team, earning third-team all-conference honors. He is 20-5 in singles this season after completing a perfect 4-0 run through the ACC Tournament that included three straight-sets victories. Connel, who
was the Southern Conference's Freshman of the Year and a first-team All-SoCon selection at Furman that season, is on the All-ACC team for the first time in his career.

Noles Shine in Battle At The Beach as Connel Wins Tournament.
DESTIN, Fla. - In the first fall action of the 2023-24 men's tennis season, Florida State junior Jamie Connel won the Battle At The Beach in Destin while freshman Azariah Rusher finished as the runner-up.
Connel went 3-0 in singles play in the tournament, opening with a 6-1, 6-4 win over Georgia State's Gabriele Datei. A 6-2, 6-0 straight-set victory over Luc Hoejimans of Tulane earned Connel his second win. No. 102 Connel's 7-6 (6), 6-2 victory over Middle Tennessee State's Shu Matsuoka crowned him as the tournament's champion.
Florida State brought three newcomers to the tournament as Rusher, Justin Lyons and Carson Cerejo all made their debuts this past weekend.
Rusher, a Del Ray Beach native, earned his first win as a Seminole on Friday with a 6-1, 6-4 win over Georgia State's Edward Tynes. Rusher would go on to record two more singles wins in the weekend en route to being the runner-up, with a 6-0, 6-1 victory on Saturday and a 6-2, 6-4 win over Middle Tennessee State's Karim Al-Amin on Sunday.
Cerejo notched his first singles victory as a Seminole on the tournament's final day with a 7-5, 7-5 win over Kristian Thomas of Middle Tennessee. Connel and Cerejo paired up and recorded an 8-4 doubles win over Igor Mandou Berranger and Kristian Thomas from Middle Tennessee State.
Freshman Justin Lyons' three-set 6-4, 4-6, 7-6 (7) win over Georgia State's Baran Solver marked his first at Florida State, and the newcomer duo of Rusher and Lyons earned their first doubles victory together on Friday after an 8-5 win.

Seminoles Complete Two Sweeps on Opening Day.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The No. 20 Florida State men's tennis team began the season spotless, sweeping Mercer and Jacksonville State in a doubleheader Saturday at the FSU Indoor Tennis Facility.
"I thought it was a good first day of playing, winning all 12 singles matches we played today and winning the four doubles that we completed," head coach Dwayne Hultquist said. "I thought Azariah in the first match was impressive to close out while Justin took two wins on the day, showing that the freshmen can really contribute. Yusef handled both matches fairly easily, Jamie earned a couple of wins, and Alex Bulte did really well on the day too."
Florida State earned its first point of the season as the freshmen pairing of Justin Lyons and Azariah Rusher took the first match convincingly while the French duo of Antoine Cornut-Chauvinc and Joshua Dous-Karpenschif handled the opposition.
The 97th-ranked singles player in the country Jamie Connel and fellow junior Alex Bulte dominated as they each only dropped one of their 13 games en route to wins. Azariah Rusher made quick work in his spring singles debut to earn the match-winning point while Youcef Rihane blanked Samuel MacLeod in the second set. Justin Lyons used two 6-3 sets to power through while Loris Pourroy battled well with Nemanja Stefanovic and came out victorious.
The success carried into the second match as the Seminoles faced Jacksonville State and kept the foot on the gas with two victories to take the doubles point. Connel and Bulte notched their second doubles victory early before one of the top duos in the country, Loris Pourroy and Rihane sealed the round.
Cornut-Chauvinc and Rihane dominated in their singles matches as they only dropped five games in their play while Dous-Karpenschif played proficiently to win his match.
Connel secured himself a victory after fighting off a late run by Alin Fatu while Lyons came back after dropping the first set 0-6 and crushed the remainder of the match 6-1, 6-2. Alex Bulte also fell in the first set but fought to go to a third set and pulled away in the third-set tiebreaker.
"I thought the energy was really good and it just prepares us for what we have we got it really tough stretch here," Hultquist said.

No. 20 Florida State Falls on the Road in Top-20 Matchup.
By Jack Oliaro
STARKVILLE, Miss. - The No. 20 Florida State men's tennis team was handed its first loss of the season to No. 17 Mississippi State in a Friday afternoon matchup at the Rula Tennis Pavilion.
"I thought there's two keys to the match, we didn't play good enough in the big moments and lost three 7-5 first sets that we had chances to win," head coach Dwayne Hultquist said. "Up and down the line it was very tight but still a disappointing loss."
The junior pairing of Alex Bulte and Jamie Connel led their match 5-4 before the doubles point was won on the other courts.
Florida State fell in the doubles matches with three close duels. Lyon, France, natives Antoine Cornut-Chauvinc and Joshua Dous-Karpenschif fell to the 24th-ranked doubles pairing in collegiate tennis, Petar Jovanovic and Benito Sanchez Martinez 6-4 while Loris Pourroy and Youcef Rihane dropped their match 6-3.
Cornut-Chauvinc earned a statement victory with a straight-set 6-4, 7-5 win over Jovanovic, the 13th-ranked singles player in the country. Cornut-Chauvinc took the first set before facing the threat of a third set as he was down 4-5. From there, he rattled off three straight games to take the set and lone point for the Seminoles in thrilling fashion.
Dous-Karpenschif lost in two sets with matching 6-4 defeats in both frames.
Rihane and Connel both lost their first sets by identical 7-5 scores before falling in the following set. Connel took his opponent to the brink in each set with two 7-5 losses.
Pourroy lost his first set in a tough 7-5 finish before nearly mounting a comeback from trailing 5-0 in the second frame while Bulte won his first set but lost the remaining two sets to drop the match.
"I think mainly it's converting on a couple of the early set points we had that could've really changed the match a lot," Hultquist commented.

No. 20 Florida State Wins Thriller over Alabama.
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - The No. 20 Florida State men's tennis team earned its first road victory of the season over Alabama in a 4-3 classic. Antoine Cornut-Chauvinc converted the winning point and shined again on Sunday afternoon at the Roberta Alison Baumgardner Tennis Facility.
"This is a good bounce-back win from the other day and it was always going to be a challenge to win on the road and we earned that nice victory today," head coach Dwayne Hultquist said. "Antoine was the one that stepped up at the end and showed why he's one of the best players in college tennis."
The doubles round was a thriller as Cornut-Chauvinc and Joshua Dous-Karpenschif defeated the 25th-ranked pairing in the country handily 6-2 before Alex Bulte and Jamie Connel dropped their matchup in a tight 6-4 set.
Loris Pourroy and Youcef Rihane exchanged leads with their opposition on Court 2 as they were neck-and-neck and came down to a tiebreak after reaching 6-6. The 52nd-ranked pairing in collegiate tennis powered through the razor-thin margin and took the doubles point for the Seminoles off a 7-5 tiebreaker.
Dous-Karpenschif and Bulte each dropped their singles matches in two sets as Alabama took a 2-1 lead.
Rihane won comfortably as he only dropped one game in the first set before maintaining a steady lead to finish out the game 6-4 to tie the team score back up at 2-2.
Pourroy took full command of the first set in 6-2 fashion but finishing off the 51st-ranked player in the country wasn't going to be easy as he dropped the second set 6-3. The third set was the same result as the second as Alabama regained the lead with two matches remaining.
Connel was up against Ponce De Leon in a battle between two top-100 players. He won the first set 6-3 before trading games back-and-forth in the second set and came down to 6-6. Connel unleashed his prowess and won the tiebreaker to tie the team score back up at 3-3 as it all came down to Court 1.
Cornut-Chauvinc was tasked with the 35th-best player in the nation in Planinsek. Cornut-Chauvinc had defeated some of the best players throughout his career and he managed to take the first set 6-4 before coming down to a 6-6 second set. Plininsek took the tiebreaker, but when the final set to decide the match was in the balance, Cornut-Chauvinc excelled with a 6-1 third set victory to send Florida State home with a gutsy win.
"I still had pretty high energy when my opponent was worn out," Cornut-Chauvinc commented. "I kept that good energy and stayed the course which led to the success."

No. 22 Florida State Handles Oklahoma.
By Jack Oliaro
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The No. 22 Florida State men's tennis team defeated Oklahoma 5-2 on Sunday, marking the Seminoles' third straight win over opponents in the ITA Preseason Top 25.
The doubles round came down to the wire as Azariah Rusher and Alex Bulte dropped their match 6-1 before the newly named top-40 pair of Antoine Cornut-Chauvinc and Joshua Dous-Karpenschif handled the nation's 40th-ranked doubles duo with a 6-3 win.
All hopes lied on Court 2 with Loris Pourroy and Youcef Rihane who were down early but rattled off a few games to tie the score at 4-4. Two dominant games followed and for the third straight match, the doubles point belonged to the Seminoles.
Rihane suffered an injury during the first set in singles and continued his match but dropped the match in two sets. Pourroy used his strong momentum to efficiently work through his match with a straight-sets victory 7-5, 6-3 but then came the weather.
The rain came midway through the second set and delayed the match an hour before the teams moved to the FSU Indoor Tennis Courts and resumed.
Jamie Connel lost the first set 6-4 but quickly strung together an impressive second set and swept the final frame indoors with ease. The 90th-ranked player pulled off another come-from-behind victory to put Florida State within clinching distance.
Bulte had suffered a crushing tiebreaker loss in the second set but stormed back with a vengeance and claimed the winning point in the fiery 6-1 set for his fourth straight victory.
Cornut-Chaunvinc continued his incredible start to the season as he split the first two sets but, like the rest of the team, executed precise play in the third set. The No. 8 player in the nation took the final frame 6-1 and claimed his seventh win of the season. Dous-Karpenschif dropped his third set for the final margin.
"Out of the rain break I asked the guys to win the first 10 minutes, instead we dominated the first 10 minutes and that was the biggest part of the match," head coach Dwayne Hultquist said.

No. 22 Florida State Sweeps Boston College.
By Jack Oliaro
WEYMOUTH, Mass. - The No. 22 Florida State men's tennis team swept Boston College on the road to claim its first conference win of the season, remaining undefeated against the Eagles in the series history.
"After canceling the match yesterday and the snowy conditions, it was good for us to come in here and have Antoine and Joshua knock off one of the top doubles teams in the nation to set the tone," head coach Dwayne Hultquist said.
The doubles round saw a clash of top-50 pairings on Court 1 as Antoine Cornut-Chauvinc and Joshua Dous-Karpenschif ended 15th-ranked Juan Jose Bianchi and Jake Vassel's unbeaten start to the season with a 6-4 win.
FSU's other top-50 doubles team of Youcef Rihane and Loris Pourroy executed their plan to a tee and defeated their opponents 6-3 to claim the doubles point. Alex Bulte and Richie Thongoana made their debut as a pairing this season and were locked at 5-5 before the match was left unfinished. This marked Thongoana's first action for the Seminoles since 2022.
Pourroy moved to Court 1 in singles for the first time this season and left no doubt in his match, winning all 12 games for a perfect 6-0, 6-0 sweep. This marked his third straight singles victory, not dropping a single set in that stretch.
Connel and Rusher each won their first sets with a 6-4 scoreline before being pushed in the second set. Both were tied at 5-5 in their respective matches before raising their game in the crucial moments as they pulled away 7-5 in their second sets at nearly the same time.
Soon after, freshman Justin Lyons wasn't able to carve out the straight sets victory and faced the third set super tiebreaker. He didn't flinch in the moment as he dominated the final frame 10-2 and took his third singles victory.
Dous-Karpenschif endured a long but successful first set, winning 6-4 before unleashing some of his finest play of the season in a strong sweep at 6-0 for the victory.
Rihane quickly won his first frame in 6-1 fashion before a tough second set forced the third-set super tiebreaker. Like Lyons, Rihane made quick and decisive work to end the match after a 10-4 decision and clinched the sweep.

No. 15 Florida State Snatches 4-3 Win Over Georgia Tech.
By Jack Oliaro
ATLANTA, Ga. - The No. 15 Florida State men's tennis team pulled off an epic comeback to take a thrilling 4-3 match win over Georgia Tech on Thursday afternoon.
"Our freshmen were forced into the fire and rose to the occasion while Loris (Pourroy) came through at the end to seal the match in a really good team effort," head coach Dwayne Hultquist said.
The day began with a tightly contested doubles round that saw momentum swing back and forth. In their first appearance as a pair, Jamie Connel and Justin Lyons rolled through their match on Court 3 with a 6-1 win. Georgia Tech grabbed victories on Courts 1 and 2 to seal the first point of the afternoon.
Antoine Cornut-Chauvinc dropped in straight-sets for his first defeat in a singles match all season and first since May 6, 2023.
Youcef Rihane and Connel punched back as each took their first set convincingly and fought off late rallies to quickly tie the match back up at 2-2. Rihane took his 10th singles win of the season.
Georgia Tech reclaimed the lead with a straight-sets win on Court 5 before Azariah Rusher stepped up to the moment on Court 6. The freshman came into the spot on short notice and didn't let the pressure overwhelm him as he dominated the first set tiebreaker before cruising to a 6-2 second set and claiming a vital third point and his fourth career singles victory.
All hopes lied in Court 2 where Loris Pourroy split the first two frames to set up the match-winning third set. He marched out to a strong 3-1 lead before pulling away and clinching the match for the Seminoles at 6-3 for the first time since sweeping in-state rivals Florida in February.

No. 17 Florida State Downs Hokies in ACC Second Round.
By Jack Oliaro
CARY, N.C. - The No. 17 Florida State men's tennis team downed Virginia Tech 4-1 in the second round of the ACC Championship on Thursday and advanced to the quarterfinal round for the 11th straight ACC Tournament.
"I thought it was good that Alex (Bulte) earned the second set to reestablish our momentum and Loris (Pourroy) did a great job of bouncing back and sealing the match in a great effort today," head coach Dwayne Hultquist said.
The day began with a tight doubles match with games exchanged back-and-forth. The Hokies took the match on Court 1 before newly-ranked Loris Pourroy and Youcef Rihane dominated their match with a 6-2 victory. Virginia Tech took the doubles point off the win on Court 3.
The response to the setback was timely as Florida State began the singles round winning five first sets, including a 6-0 blanking by Antoine Cornut-Chauvinc at No 1. Cornut-Chauvinc, the nation's No. 5-ranked singles player pushed through a 6-4 second set to tie the match up at 1-1.
The momentum was in full effect as Jamie Connel battled through the first frame 7-5 to slam the door shut with a 6-1 second set to take the lead. Joshua Dous-Karpenschif followed suit with one of his most complete performances of the season, dropping just six games across two sets to put FSU within one win of advancing.
The east end of the courts all went the distance as Pourroy, Rihane, and Alex Bulte battled to three sets each. Pourroy overcame a tough end to the second set and bolted past his opponent in the third to seal the final point. Rihane and Bulte's matches were left unfinished.

Florida State Wins First-Ever ACC Championship.
By Jack Oliaro
CARY, N.C. - The No. 17 Florida State men's tennis team claimed its first-ever ACC Championship with a thrilling 4-3 comeback victory over back-to-back defending national champions and No. 2-ranked Virginia on Sunday afternoon. The Seminoles snapped Virginia's 62-match winning streak over ACC opponents dating back to February 13, 2021.
The day began with a strong performance in the doubles round from Alex Bulte and Jamie Connel. The pair won three straight games off a 3-2 lead to put the Seminoles within reach. Virginia took the doubles point by claiming victories at Courts 1, 2.
Virginia extended its lead to 2-0 with a straight-sets win on Court 5 before Connel put together one of his finest performances of the season as he defeated the No. 51 player in the nation in straight sets 6-4, 7-6 (0) to put the Seminoles on the board.
Youcef Rihane played a tight three-set match but ultimately dropped his match to the 45-ranked singles player in America to put Virginia within one point of the championship.
Loris Pourroy strung together a dominant 6-2 first set before dropping the second to set up the deciding set. Pourroy used incredible variation in his play to defeat the No. 36 player in the nation 6-2, 1-6, 6-3 to put FSU back within one. The next player to stet up was Bulte as he fought from a set down and dropped only five games in the final two sets to tie the match at 3-3.
The attention turned towards Antoine Cornut-Chauvinc and UVA's Chris Rodesch. The titanic battle between two top-five players in the nation would decide the ACC Championship. Cornut-Chauvinc won the first set tiebreaker 7-4 before Rodesch responded with an identical second set tiebreaker 7-4. Rodesch began the championship set up 5-2 and one game of Virginia's fourth straight conference title.
Cornut-Chauvinc displayed one of the greatest moments in the tournament's history as he won five straight games to give the Seminoles their first-ever ACC Championship with a 7-6 (4), 6-7 (4), 7-5 victory. Cornut-Chauvinc, who was 4-0 in the ACC Championships to improve to 23-2 in singles this season, was named the Championships MVP.
Florida State is the first ACC champion to win four matches in four days since the conference tournament expanded to include a fourth day in 1992.
