Aubone Becomes First Two-Time All-American In Seminole Tennis History.
Junior Jean-Yves Aubone named an ITA Singles All-American for the second consecutive season.
May 29, 2009
TALLAHASSEE, FL - Junior Jean-Yves Aubone became the first Florida State tennis player to be named a two-time All-American when the Intercollegiate Tennis Association announced its 2009 All-American
list on Friday, May 29.
"We are thrilled that Jean-Yves was named to the All-American team," FSU head coach Dwayne Hultquist said. "It's a great accomplishment to be a back-to-back All-American. He had a terrific year being
named the ACC Player of the Year and also had some big wins."
Aubone compiled a 19-10 record in 2008-09 including a 12-9 record against ranked competition. The ACC Player of the Year went 9-1 in conference play and was one of two Seminoles to earn a berth into
the NCAA Singles Tournament. The Miami, Fla., native finished the season ranked No. 20 in the country.
"He won so many big matches and beat several highly ranked players," Hultquist said. "Last season he played well and was able to do it again this year to become the school's first two-time
All-American."
Last season, Aubone became the first Seminole to be a singles All-American since Mat Cloer accomplished the feat in 2005. To become singles All-American a player must advance to the round of 16 at the
NCAA Tournament, be seeded entering the tournament or finish the season ranked in the top 20 of the ITA rankings.

No. 11 Florida State Men's Tennis Loses To No. 40 South Florida.
Seminoles handed first defeat of season in Tampa, Fla.
TAMPA, FL - The No. 11-ranked Florida State men's tennis team was upset by No. 40 South Florida on Monday in Tampa, Fla. The Bulls defeated the Seminoles 5-2 to hand FSU its first loss of the season.
"We only won one out of four three-setters and that was the difference in the match," FSU head coach Dwayne Hultquist said. "They have a very good team and they outplayed us today.
The day started off slowly for the Seminoles (2-1) losing the doubles point to USF. The team of senior Chris Cloer and junior Vahid Mirzadeh were the first to lose dropping a 8-3 match on court three to Mahmoud Hamed and Yannick Yoshizawa. The Garnet and Gold evened the match on court one when with 23rd-ranked junior Jean-Yves Aubone and sophomore Clint Bowles upsetting the 15th-ranked duo of Lucas Jovita and Thomas Estrada 8-5.

Kilani and Deridder were able to win 9-8(4) to earn the doubles point for the Bulls.
"Losing the doubles was key," Hulstquist said. "We were very close to pulling it out at No. 2 and I think we would have won the match if we won the doubles but we didn't."
Florida State and South Florida split the first two singles matches with No. 30 Aubone defeating No. 27 Jovita 7-5, 6-4 on court one and Bailey losing to Estrada 7-6, 7-5 on court six.

"I think we've steadily gotten better over the years and it's really a credit to the players that we have here," Hultquist said. "They've believed in our program and even though it is a personal achievement I believe that most of the credit needs to go to our kids."
The doubles point came down to a dramatic tiebreaker on court three. FSU won the first doubles match on court one when No. 23-ranked junior Jean-Yves Aubone and sophomore Clint Bowles defeated No. 38 Kiril Dimitrov and Alain Michel 8-3.

"Chris and Vahid were down match point and then they went down 4-2 in the tiebreaker," Hultquist said. "We played well and we won a lot of the big points to pull out the victory."
Florida State jumped out to a 3-0 lead after two quick singles victories. Mirzadeh was the first Seminole off the court with his 6-3, 7-5 victory against Jared Pinsky.

UNIVERSITY PARK, PA - The No. 18-ranked Florida State men's tennis team earned a grueling 4-3 victory against No. 21 Oklahoma State to advance to the Round of 16 in the ITA National Team Indoor Championships. Senior Chris Cloer clinched the match for FSU with a three set victory against Anton Bobytskyi 6-7(5), 6-2, 6-3.

"Chris had a lead in the first set and squandered it, but came back in the second and third," Hultquist said. "He's always been pretty good in pressure situations and today was no exception. He had to play patient and he made some great plays today."

No. 16 Florida State Men's Tennis Loses 4-1 To Defending National Champion Georgia.
Seminoles lose tight match to Bulldogs in Round of 16 contest at the ITA National Team Indoor Championships.
CHICAGO, IL - The No. 16-ranked Florida State men's tennis was defeated by No. 3 Georgia 4-1 at the ITA National Team Indoor Championships in Chicago, Ill.
"Georgia is a very good team and I think we are too which is why the match was so closely contested," FSU head coach Dwayne Hultquist said. "This is a great experience for us and we just need to keep trying to get better and get ready for another tough match tomorrow."
The doubles point came down to a tiebreaker on court number three between the Seminole duo of senior Chris Cloer and junior Vahid Mirzadeh and Javier Garrapiz and Drake Bernstein of Georgia. The Bulldogs (6-0) pulled out the win 9-8(2) to take the doubles point. On court one No. 23-ranked junior Jean-Yves Aubone and sophomore Clint Bowles were beaten quickly by No. 40-ranked Nate Schnugg and Jamie Hunt.

The Bulldogs took a 3-0 lead with straight set victories on courts five and three. Varela was first off the court with a 6-4, 6-1 win against Cloer.

Seminoles lose first consolation match at the ITA National Team Indoor Championships.
CHICAGO, IL - The No. 16-ranked Florida State men's tennis team lost 4-1 to No. 9 Mississippi in the consolation round of the ITA National Team Indoor Championships in Chicago, Ill.
"It was a hard fought win for Mississippi and a tough loss for us," FSU head coach Dwayne Hultquist said. "We were up in some matches but we weren't able to pull it out."

The Rebels took a 1-0 lead when Christoph and Marcel Thiemann defeated seniors Drew Bailey and Maciek Sykut on court two 8-6.
"Doubles is very important because when we win the doubles point we usually win," Hultquist said. "We had a chance to win doubles, but Drew and Maciek were broken at 7-6 to end the match."
The Garnet and Gold quickly found themselves in a 3-0 hole. No. 30 Aubone was beaten in straight sets on court one by Berg 6-2, 6-1 and Cloer was defeated by Sauer 6-1, 7-5 on court five.

No. 16 Florida State Men's Tennis Finishes Weekend With 4-3 Victory Against No. 18 Michigan.
Junior Jean-Yves Aubone clinches the match for the Seminoles on final day of the ITA National Team Indoor Championships.
CHICAGO, IL - The No. 16-ranked Florida State men's tennis team finished the ITA National Team Indoor Championships with a 4-3 victory against No. 18 Michigan on Sunday.
"It was a good win today," FSU head coach Dwayne Hultquist said. "We obviously still have some work to do, but we did win a match and we now have to work on getting solid performances from everybody in our lineup on a regular basis."
For the first time in the tournament the Seminoles jumped out to a 1-0 lead by winning the doubles point. Seniors Drew Bailey and Maciek Sykut defeated Andrew Mazlin and George Navas on court two 8-2 to begin the day. The point was clinched on court three where junior Vahid Mirzadeh and freshman Chris Reiman were victorious against Drew Daniel and Chris Madden.
"I was very impressed how well Chris Reiman played in the doubles," Hultquist said. "He and Vahid played really well together and came through to clinch the match for us."
The Garnet and Gold took a quick 2-0 when singles began with No. 79 Sykut taking care of Srocynski on court three 6-3, 6-4. The Wolverines cut the lead to 2-1 on court two where Mazlin upset No. 29 Bowles 6-2, 6-3. Florida State took the next point on court four when Mirzadeh upended Madden 6-4, 6-1 making the score 3-1. However, Michigan took the next two matches to tie the score at three. On court five Daniel defeated senior Chris Cloer 6-1, 6-4 and on court six Navas beat Bailey 3-6, 6-1, 6-1.
"I thougt that Maciek had a great weekend," Hultquist said. "He was probably our MVP during the tournament. Vahid also played very well winning one match and being ahead in his other two when those matches were stopped."
The match came down to court one between No. 30 Aubone and the Wolverine's Jung. Aubone took the first set in a tiebreaker 7-6(4), but dropped the second set on a late break 6-4. Up 4-3 in the third set, the All-American won the last two games to give Florida State the victory.
"I thought Jean-Yves played great under pressure with everything riding on his match," Hultquist said. "The level of play in the third set was very good from both players and Jean-Yves just made a few more shots."

No. 16 Florida State Dominates No. 70 Furman Winning 7-0.
This was the Seminoles first shut out of the season bringing their record to 8-4.
TALLAHASSEE, FL - The No. 16 Florida State men's tennis team came out looking for a win against Furman (4-4) and got it. The Seminoles (8-4) posted its first shut of the season as they beat the No. 70 Paladins 7-0 today, Friday, February 20. FSU is now 31-4 all-time against Furman who is coached by Florida State's former head coach Paul Scarpa.
"It's the first shut out we've had all year," head coach Dwayne Hultquist said. "I think that's a good sign. I think Furman's a very good team and they always compete so hard. We won three three setters. I was pleased to get a 7-0 win. That means everyone kind of hung in there and battled hard and won. It could've been a lot closer and we expected a close match so I was pleased with it today."
The Seminoles took the court first in doubles winning two of the three matches to claim the doubles point. On court two juniors Jean-Yves Aubone and Vahid Mirzadeh topped Furman's Bo Ladyman and Jordan Walters 8-5. Teaming up for the first time together was sophomore Clint Bowles and freshman Chris Reiman. The duo won 8-4 against Chris Rhyne and Andrei Chevstov on court three.

After being down 2-4 in the second set, senior Drew Bailey came back to win 6-4, 6-4 on court six against Sawyer Duncan.

Cloer Seals The Deal As Florida State Men's Tennis Downs No. 27 Rice.
The middle of the Seminole line-up brought FSU back from 1-0 and 2-1 deficits.
TALLAHASSEE, FL - The old adage goes its not how you start but how you finish that counts. The was in evidence Sunday afternoon at the Scott Speicher Tennis Center where the 16th-ranked Seminole men's tennis team fell behind early but stormed back to defeat the 27th-ranked Rice Owls 4-3. Florida State dropped a tough point in doubles and then went down 2-1 following a loss on court number one but three straight wins on court two, three and five secured the victory for FSU. Senior Chris Cloer staged a comeback of his own to seal the victory raising the team's record to 10-4 on the season while dropping Rice to 9-4.
"Vahid (Mirzadeh) set the tone," said head coach Dwayne Hultquist. "He and Clint. Maciek as well. We had to turn one around. We were five minutes away from losing at one point. The turning point was Chris getting into that third set."
The Seminoles suffered an early setback when Rice stormed from behind to take the doubles point. Jean-Yves Aubone and Clint Bowles got Florida State off to a good start. The 34th-ranked doubles pair won the first of the three matches 8-5 but the next two did not fall the Seminoles's way as Rice pulled out two nail-biters to take the point. Andrew Bailey and Maciek Sykut battled from 4-2 and 6-4 down versus Bruno Rosa and Chong Wang to take a late lead at 8-7 but the Owl duo forced a tie-breaker where they came back from a three-point deficit to win the tie breaker 7-5. That left the decision up to court three where Cloer and Vahid Mirzadeh almost forced a tie-breaker of their own before falling 9-7 to Christian Savaria and Sam Garforth-Bles of Rice.
Vahid Mirzadeh got the Seminoles right back on track in singles versus Rice's Tobias Schiel on court four. The junior from Wellington, FL got a straight sets win 6-2, 6-0 to even the match at 1-1. The Owls jumped right back on top when their number one singles player took down FSU's Aubone. No. 43 Chritoph Muller upset the nation's 19th-ranked singles player 6-3, 6-0 to put the Owls back in front 2-1. On court three the Seminoles's Maciek Sykut put FSU back in the match with a straight set win over Chong Wang. Sykut brought FSU level on the day with a 7-5, 6-4 win.
Florida State's Clint Bowles, ranked 55th, got a huge win versus 2008 All-American #28 Bruno Rosa to put Florida State on the verge of the win over the Owls. The sophomore from Tampa won 6-4, 6-4 setting the stage for the pivotal match of the day on court five pitting FSU's Cloer and Sam Garforth-Bles.
"Clint beat an All-American from last year," said Hultquist. "Rosa has been going back-and-forth at the No. 1 spot. That is a great win for him. Clint was tough today and that was big."
Garforth-Bles jumped out to a quick lead with a 6-2 win in the first set but Cloer's gutsy performance brought the two even when the Seminole senior took the second set 7-5. Cloer rolled in the third and final set clinching the Seminoles' 10th victory of the season with a 6-1 win in the final set.
"Chris has been in that position a lot," said Hultquist. "The more there is on the line the better he is. He did the same thing versus Oklahoma State and he did it again today. He is one of the best in that position."
Big in-state rivals come to Tallahassee over the next week to close out the Seminoles' home stand. Saturday the 28th FSU opens ACC play versus Miami and then on Tuesday, March 3 the Gators come to town for a 5:00 p.m. match. Those will be the last two times fans will be able to see the men's tennis team play for quite a while. Following the Florida match, the team will play five straight matches on the road not returning to Tallahassee until they face Virginia Tech March 27.

Seminoles Take The Wind Out Of The Hurricanes, 4-3.
Florida State's men's tennis team improves to 10-4 overall and 1-0 in ACC play with the victory over rival-Miami.
TALLAHASSEE, FL - It was a windy Saturday at the Scott Speicher Center but that didn't stop the No. 16-ranked Florida State men's tennis team from blowing away the No. 24-ranked Miami Hurricanes. FSU defeated Miami 4-3 and improved to 10-4 overall and 1-0 in ACC action while the Hurricanes fell to an even 4-4 on the year, including 1-1 in league play.
The Seminoles went up 3-0, including the doubles' point but the match was decided by senior Maciek Sykut's victory at No. 3 singles.
"It was 3-0 but I knew we were kind of struggling in a couple of the matches," FSU head coach Dwayne Hultquist said. "I actually made a comment to my two assistant coaches when we were up 3-0 that I felt it was important for Maciek to win, to give us another chance because at the time I felt like Clint (Bowles) was a little bit tired, Drew (Bailey) was down a break and Chris (Cloer) was down a break. There were five three-setters and we've had a lot of really tight matches the last few years."
With the match knotted at 3-3, all eyes were on the No. 3 singles match between Sykut and Miami's Ignacio Taboada. After falling 7-5 in the first set, Sykut found himself down 5-4 in the second set but battled back and after taking a 4-1 advantage in set three, went on to win convincingly by a score of 6-3 to clinch the FSU victory.
"Maciek faced game-point down for the other guy to serve for the match multiple times, I don't know how many there were but he was break-point down and held that off," Hultquist said. "I think you saw a guy who's played a lot of college tennis and has won a lot of matches and the third set was maybe about as good as he can play.
"Maciek did a great job of coming up to the net and finishing off around the net and also, I felt like he served well late in the match," Hultquist continued. "He had some service winners. That last game wasn't in doubt but he kind of stepped it up and closed it off really solidly."
Junior Vahid Mirzadeh totally dominated his match at No. 4 singles and allowed Miami's David Simon to score just one point as he recorded the 6-0, 6-1 victory. Seminole junior Jean-Yves Aubone lost his first set before storming back to win his match. At No. 1 singles, Aubone fell 1-6 in the first set but recovered confidently to win the second and third sets 6-3 and 6-2, respectively.
The Seminoles earned the doubles' point in just 50 minutes of doubles play as all three FSU doubles teams won by a score of 8-4. The No. 1 doubles team of Jean Yves Aubone/Vahid Mirzadeh got off to a slow start and found themselves tied 2-2 with Miami's Christian Blocker/David Simon before scoring three straight points to take control and was the first match to finish. On court two, the match between FSU's Maciek Sykut/Drew Bailey and Miami's David Rosenfeld/Keith Crowley saw four ties before the Seminoles scored the last four points for the victory. The Seminoles' doubles team of Clint Bowles/Chris Reiman jumped out to a 4-0 advantage over Miami's Ignacio Taboada/Carl Sundberg and never looked back.
"The doubles - we won kind of handily and I am not sure what to attribute that to," Hultquist said. "I think we won a lot of close games. If we play them again, they may win it. It certainly wasn't we were just a lot better, it was one of those matches where maybe we got a few breaks and were able to hold sometimes when it was tough."
Rival-play continues when the Seminoles host Florida on Tuesday, March 3rd at 5 p.m. at the Scott Speicher Tennis Center.

No. 15 Florida State Men's Tennis Falls To No. 9 Florida 5-2.
Gators hold off Seminoles in a pair of dramatic third sets.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla.- The No. 15-ranked Florida State men's tennis team lost a heartbreaking match in front of a raucous crowd at the Scott Speicher Tennis Center on Tuesday evening. The Seminoles (10-5, 1-0) fell to the ninth-ranked Gators 5-2 in a match that last nearly four hours.
"It was a great match that was really tight," FSU head coach Dwayne Hultquist said. "I think the match was broken up into four segments. We won the doubles, they took all six first sets, we took four second sets and then they dominated the third sets."
The Garnet and Gold got off to a quick start in doubles. On court three the team of sophomore Clint Bowles and freshman Chris Reiman jumped out to a quick 5-1 lead on No. 61 Jeff Dadamo and Johnny Hamui and never looked back to win 8-5. On court two the No. 80-ranked duo of Alex Lacroix and Carlos Cueto won a 9-8(1) tiebreaker to defeat seniors Drew Bailey and Maciek Sykut. FSU clinched the point on court one where juniors Jean-Yves Aubone and Vahid Mirzadeh remained undefeated as a duo upsetting No. 18 Antoine Benneteau and Joey Burkhardt 8-5 to give the Seminoles a 1-0 lead.
"Jean-Yves and Vahid closed things out and were up most of the match," Hultquist said. "Beating their number one doubles team shows that our team deserves to be up there."
The Gators regained momentum in singles winning all six first sets to take control. Florida earned its first point on court five where Dadamo defeated senior Chris Cloer 6-4, 7-6(1) to tie the score. The Gators took a 2-1 lead on court six where Erik Corace defeated Reiman in straight sets 6-4, 7-5. "We didn't gain the momentum after doubles," Hultquist said. "Clearly they dominated play early on and we didn't get going."
The Seminoles fought back to take the other four second sets to set up a dramatic finish. On court two No. 42-ranked Bowles went up 3-0 on No. 34-ranked Lacroix before Lacroix was able to rebound. He broke Bowles at 5-5 in and went on to win the match 6-4, 4-6, 7-5 to put UF up 3-1. The match was decided on court four where Mirzadeh and Burkhardt split the first two sets with Burkhardt winning the first 6-3 and Mirzadeh the second 6-0. In the third set Burkhardt broke Mirzadeh and 4-4 and while the Wellington, Fla., native was able to fight off three match points Burkhard pulled out the match with a 6-4 third-set victory.
"We had third set leads in all four matches," Hultquist said. "It was a hard one to lose, we went at it for four hours and they're a very good team and we have some things we need to improve on."
Florida State's lone singles match victory came on court one where No. 28 Aubone upset No. 19 Cueto in three sets 1-6, 6-4, 6-4. In the final match of the evening Sykut was defeated by Benneteau 6-3, 1-6, 6-4.
The Seminoles will now embark on the five match road trip beginning on Friday in Clemson, S.C., as FSU takes on the Tigers at 1:00 p.m. For stats and a match recap log onto www.seminoles.com.

Seminoles move to 2-0 in the ACC after topping Tigers to open five match road swing.
CLEMSON, SC - The No. 15-ranked Florida State men's tennis team began its five-match road trip with an emphatic 6-1 victory against No. 68 Clemson on Saturday afternoon. FSU moved to 2-0 in the ACC and earned its second road win of the season.
"I thought we were in control of a lot of matches," FSU head coach Dwayne Hultquist said. "There were a few close matches and I was pleased on how we were able to close those matches out."
The Seminoles (11-5, 2-0) got things rolling in doubles on court one where juniors Jean-Yves Aubone and Vahid Mirzadeh defeated Clemson's (6-6, 0-3) Carlos Alvarez and Rok Bizjak 8-3. The duo is now 5-0 on the season in dual match play.

On court three, sophomore Clint Bowles and freshman Chris Reiman defeated Robert Pietrucha and Kevin Galloway in a tiebreaker 8-7 to finish the doubles sweep.
"I think our doubles play is good," Hultquist said. "Jean-Yves and Vahid are awfully tough to beat and our other teams are playing well too. We take pride in the doubles and I'm proud of how we have been playing of late."
The Garnet and Gold kept the pressure on in singles taking a 2-0 lead after senior Chris Cloer defeated Galloway in straight sets on court five 6-3, 6-4. Mirzadeh made the lead 3-0 with a 6-1, 7-5 victory on court four over Kevin Fleck.
"I felt like both Chris and Vahid were in control the whole way," Hultquist said. "Both of their second sets were a lot closer, but they were able to finish strong and get those wins."
The Tigers cut the lead to 3-1 on court six where Ike Belk defeated Reiman in straight sets 7-5, 6-2. Florida State clinched the match on court three where Sykut defeated Bizjak 6-4, 6-4. After winning the first set, Sykut found himself down on 4-1 in the second. The Marathon, Fla., native then rolled off five straight games to get the victory.
"Maciek was down and him coming back to clinch was big," Hultquist said. "His match was probably the most important for us."
In the final two matches of the day No. 28 Aubone defeated Alvarez 7-6(X), 6-3 on court one and No. 42 Bowles dropped the first set to Boryachinskiy 6-4 before coming back to win the last two 7-5, 6-3.

Mirzadeh Clinches Match As 16th-Ranked Seminoles Hold Off No. 12 Pepperdine.
Florida State holds on to win 4-3 after losing 3-0 lead thanks to Mirzadeh's first three-set victory of the season.
MALIBU, CA - The No. 16 Florida State men's tennis team lost a 3-0 lead to No. 12 Pepperdine, but pulled out a 4-3 victory on Thursday evening in Malibu, Calif., thanks to the heroics of junior Vahid Mirzadeh.
"You don't know how things will play out but it's a win that will be strong all season," FSU head coach Dwyane Hultquist said. "This win puts us in a pretty good position when it comes to hosting a regional at the end of the year, but we've got a long season to go."
The match came down to court four where Mirzadeh was playing Pepperdine's Mahmoud Kamel. The pair split the first two sets 6-4, 4-6 and the Wellington, Fla., native went down 3-1 in the third. Mirzadeh was able to rally to win six out of the last eight games of the match to get his first three set victory of the season.
"Vahid was down 3-1 in the third and he made a great comeback," Hultquist said. "He served really well and hit some great shots. This is his first season of collegiate tennis and I'm really proud of the way he came through for us."
The Seminoles jumped out to a 1-0 lead after taking the doubles point. Seniors Drew Bailey and Maciek Sykut made quick work out of Hugh Clarke and Alex Llompart on court two with an 8-3 victory. FSU clinched the point on court three when sophomore Clint Bowles and freshman Chris Reiman defeated Kamel and Stuart Keplar 8-4. In the match on court one, junior Jean-Yves Aubone and Mirzadeh were defeated by No. 8 Omar Altmann and Bassam Beidas 8-5.
"I thought that we played very good doubles," Hultquist said. "Drew and Mciek were dominant today to control the match and we did a good job breaking serve and three."
Florida State made the match 2-0 on court five when senior Chris Cloer made quick work of the Wave's Clarke. Cloer won the first set 6-4 and then cruised to a 6-0 second set victory. No. 42-ranked Bowles made the score 3-0 with his upset victory against No. 39 Altmann on court two. Bowles won his match in straight sets 6-3, 6-3 for his third consecutive victory.
"Chris got us going by winning his match while some guys were still in their first sets which is something he is capable of doing when he's on a roll," Hultquist said. "Clint beat a great player and rose to the occasion of play to stay in control. He never let his opponent into the match."
Pepperdine got its first point of the match on court three where Llompart defeated Sykut in straight sets 6-1, 7-6(3). The Wave followed up that victory with their second point on court six when Alex Moreno defeated Bailey 7-6(3), 6-2. Pepperdine tied the match on court one after No. 43 Beidas upset No. 28 Aubone. The three set match ended 6-3, 3-6, 6-3.

No. 15 Florida State Men's Tennis Takes No. 1 Virginia To The Wire Before Losing 4-3
Seminoles upset three ranked players in singles, but can't pull out the win against top-ranked Cavaliers.
TALLAHASSEE, FL - The No. 15-ranked Florida State men’s tennis took No. 1 Virginia to the limit, but could not pull out the win falling 4-3 at the Scott Speicher Tennis Center.
"They won a couple more of the crucial points of the match than we did," FSU head coach Dwayne Hultquist said. "I thought we played hard and we knew we were at their level. Virginia is clearly the best team in the conference, but we are right there too."
The Seminoles (15-6, 5-1) started the match by losing all three doubles matches to the Cavs (22-0, 7-0). On court two the No. 4-ranked duo of Sanam Singh and Houston Barrick defeated seniors Drew Bailey and Maciek Sykut 8-2. Virginia clinched the match on court one where No. 13 Dominic Inglot and Michael Shabaz defeated juniors Jean-Yves Aubone and Vahid Mirzadeh 8-6. On court three sophomore Clint Bowles and freshman Chris Reiman lost to Drew Courtney and Lee Singer 8-4.
"The one thing I don't think we did well today was play good doubles," Hultquist said. "We started a little slow, but we did play hard."
In singles, UVA came out strong on court three to take a 2-0 lead when No. 18 Shabaz defeated Sykut in straight sets 6-2, 6-1. FSU came back quickly to make the score 2-1 on court six where Bailey dominated No. 83 Singer 6-4, 6-1.
"I thought that was the best match Drew has played in college," Hultquist said. "He clinched for us last week and that gave him a lot of confidence and he really stepped it up."
The Cavaliers took the next match to make the score 3-1 as No. 69 Barrick defeated Mirzadeh 7-6(1), 6-3. That left three matches on the court and all three went to a third and deciding set. On court five senior Chris Cloer was down 6-4, 5-2 to Courtney before surviving a pair of match points to rally and take the set to a tiebreaker. Cloer won 7-6(4) and was up 2-0 in the third before Courtney rallied to take the match and get the clinching point for Virginia 6-4.
Moments later No. 57-ranked Bowles finished his upset of No. 23 Singh 6-4, 4-6, 6-4. No. 20 Aubone finished off the match making the final score 4-3 with his 7-6(5), 6-7(3), 6-2 victory against No. 15 Inglot. Aubone has now won his last 11 ACC singles matches.
"I thought Clint beat one of the better players in the country by stepping up and playing well today," Hultquist said. "Jean-Yves win was great as well just because Inglot serves so well. Our top guys did a great job."
Up next for the Seminoles is their second road trip to the state of North Carolina this season.

No. 16 Florida State Men's Tennis Falls To No. 28 Wake Forest.
Seminoles upset No. 1-ranked doubles team in the country, but cannot defeat Demon Deacons.
WINSTON-SALEM, NC - The No. 16-ranked Florida State men's tennis team dropped a 4-2 match to No. 28 Wake Forest on Friday evening in Winston-Salem, N.C.
"It was a hard fought match," FSU head coach Dwayne Hultquist said. "They just won every big match on the evening."
The Seminoles (16-7, 5-2) dropped doubles for the second consecutive match. Things started strong on court one where 25th-ranked junior Jean-Yves Aubone and Vahid Mirzadeh upset the No.1-ranked team in the country Cory Parr and Steve Forman 8-6 on court one. However, the Demon Deacons came back to take the next two matches starting with court three where Jonathan Wolff and David Hopkins defeated sophomore Clint Bowles and freshman Chris Reiman 8-6. The point was decided in a court two tiebreak where seniors Drew Bailey and Maciek Sykut fell to Iain Atkinson and Carolos Salmon 9-8.
"It was great that we beat the No. 1 team in the country," Hultquist said. "I was just surprised that we couldn't get one of the other two matches."
FSU fell behind 2-0 in singles play on court two where No. 49 Bowles was upset by Forman in straight sets 6-4, 7-5. The Garnet and Gold quickly made the score 2-1 on court four after Mirzadeh earned a victory against Hopkins 6-4, 6-3. The Demon Deacons earned a huge victory on court one to make the match 3-1. No. 11-ranked Aubone was upset by No. 21 Parr in three sets. Aubone was up 5-2 in the third set before Parr rallied to take the next five games to win the match 2-6, 6-3, 7-5. Wake Forest earned the clinching point on court five when Atkinson defeated senior Chris Cloer in three sets 2-6, 7-5, 6-3.
"Jean-Yves served for the match at 5-3 and didn't win another game," Hultquist said. "Chris had match point in the second set and then he went up a break but tonight was a night that we couldn't finish."
Florida State got its second point on court three as Sykut became the third winningest singles player in the history of the tennis program with a three set win against Wolff 3-6, 6-4, 6-4. The Marathon, Fla., native passed assistant coach Mat Cloer with his 86th career singles win.
"He's won an awful lot of matches in his career," said Hultquist. "He had to come back in his match and I thought that showed a lot of character."
Next up for the No. 16-ranked Seminoles is a road match against No. 48 North Carolina State.

Seminole Seniors Lead Way As No. 16 Florida State Dominate Maryland.
Seminoles seniors Drew Bailey, Chris Cloer and Maciek Sykut win three out of the first four singles matches in 7-0 win against the Terrapins.
TALLAHASSEE, FL - The No. 16-ranked Florida State men's tennis team's senior class showed why they are one of the best in the history of the program leading the Seminoles to a 7-0 victory against Maryland at the Scott Speicher Tennis Center on Friday evening.
"Maryland was in a tough position because they had a couple of starters out," FSU head coach Dwayne Hultquist said. "Sometimes when you get in a situation like that you can let up, but I thought our guys did a good job of staying focused and winning quick."
FSU (17-7, 7-2) dominated singles play winning every match in straight sets. Senior Drew Bailey led the way defeating Graham Knowlton 6-1, 6-0 on court five. No. 49-ranked Clint Bowles followed Bailey's lead on court two with a 6-1, 6-2 victory against Mathias Sarrazin. The Garnet and Gold's third victory came from senior Chris Cloer who dominated Roshon Potarazu 6-3, 6-0 on court six. Senior Maciek Sykut clinched the match for Florida State on court three with a 6-4, 6-2 win against Boris Fetbroyt 6-4, 6-2. The senior's three victories were fitting for FSU considering they were honored during the match for their four years of play for the Noles.
"I thought Drew was excellent tonight, hardly made any errors; he's put in a lot of work and he's playing the best tennis of his career," Hultquist said. "Chris got off quick and Maciek clinched the match for us. It was a great performance."
The final two victories for the Seminoles came on court four where junior Vahid Mirzadeh defeated Alex Askanov 6-2, 6-2 and No. 11-ranked junior Jean-Yves Aubone dispatched Nikolai Nielsen 6-3, 7-5.
In doubles the teams split the first two matches with Maryland's Sarrazin and Nielsen beating freshmen Chris Reiman and Owen Long 8-5 on court two and Bailey and Sykut defeating Fetbroyt and Askanov 8-4 on court one. FSU clinched the match on court three when juniors Michael O'Shea and Keith Embree defeated Potarzu and Arman Moussavi 8-4.
"I thought it was good for those guys who don't play a lot to get out there and win," Hultquist said. "It was also important for our starters to be out there supporting and encouraging those guys."
Next up for Florida State is its final regular season match against Boston College on Sunday at 12:00 p.m.

No. 16 Florida State Men's Tennis Cruises Past Boston College 7-0.
Seminoles earn first round bye in the ACC Tournament with dominating performance against the Eagles.
TALLAHASSEE, FL - The No. 16-ranked Florida State men's tennis team earned itself a first-round bye in the ACC Tournament with a 7-0 victory against Boston College Sunday at the Scott Speicher Tennis Center.
"No one has ever won four matches in a row at the ACC Tournament so it's important to get that bye," FSU head coach Dwayne Hultquist said. "I'm not sure how everything will play out, but this is the time of year where every match becomes more important."
The Seminoles (18-7, 8-2) jumped out quickly in doubles dominating the first two matches. On court one the No. 25-ranked duo of juniors Jean-Yves Aubone and Vahid Mirzadeh cruised to an 8-1 victory against Sam Wagner and Brian Garber. FSU earned the point clinching win on court two where seniors Drew Bailey and Maciek Sykut defeated Thomas Nolan and Alex Skinner 8-2. Senior Chris Cloer and freshman Chris Reiman came back from a 5-2 deficit on court three to beat Akash Muppidi and Adam Davison 8-5.
"Our teams at one and two have played well all year and today was no different, "Hultquist said. "They came out and didn't lose many games and were very sharp."
FSU repeated its performance from doubles on the singles courts easily winning the first four matches. Mirzadeh was the first to finish for the Garnet and Gold, defeating Skinner 6-1, 6-0 on court three. Cloer gave Florida State a 3-0 lead on court five beating Alex Rastorgouev in straight sets 6-0, 6-2. The match was clinched on court one as No. 11-ranked Aubone dominated Nolan winning every game 6-0, 6-0.
"We were heavily favored, but you still have to come out and perform and we did today," Hultquist said. "I thought Vahid, Chris and Jean-Yves all got off the court quickly and set the tone for us."
Bailey continued his hot play winning his fifth consecutive match with a victory against Brendon Wong 6-2, 6-3 on court four. On court two Sykut moved within one match of tying Jason White as the all-time winningest player in FSU history with a straight sets victory against Muppidi 6-2, 6-4. Reiman finished off the sweep with his first career ACC single's victory, a 4-6, 6-4, 1-0(4) triumph over Brian Locklear.
"The guy that Maciek played is a really good player who has won some good matches in the ACC," Hultquist said. "It was also great for Chris to come from behind and get a win as well."
Next up for the Seminoles is the 2009 ACC Tournament in Cary, N.C. FSU will be the No. 4 seed and will play the winner of the match between the No. 5 seed and No. 12 seed. The pairing will be released later in the day on Sunday.

Seniors Lead No. 16 Florida State To 4-1 Victory Against No. 27 Duke At ACC Championships.
Seniors win all three singles matches and clinch the doubles point as Seminoles advance to the semifinals.
CARY, NC - The No. 16-ranked Florida State men's tennis team followed the lead of its seniors to defeat No. 27 Duke 4-1 in the second round of the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament in Cary, N.C.
"At the end of the year we talk about coming out strong and we did that today," Drew Bailey said. "I think that everyone stepped up and it was a team effort singles and doubles."
"We know how good Duke is, they have a lot of good players," FSU head coach Dwayne Hultquist said.
FSU started strong by taking the doubles point. On court one the No. 20-ranked doubles team of juniors Jean-Yves Aubone and Vahid Mirzadeh were off the court first defeating Kiril Dimitrov and Alain Michel 8-5. The Blue Devil duo of Reid Carleton and Jared Pinsky came back on court three to defeat senior Chris Cloer and sophomore Clint Bowles 8-4. The Garnet and Gold clinched the point on court two when seniors Drew Bailey and Maciek Sykut were victorious against Dylan Arnould and David Holland 8-6.
"I thought that No. 2 doubles would be the key," Hultquist said. "Duke had a new team at that position and we were able to get up two breaks early and serve out the match at 7-6."
The Seminoles took a 2-0 lead on court six where Cloer defeated Luke Marchese in straight sets 6-3, 6-1. Duke narrowed the gap to 2-1 when Dimitrov defeated No. 51-ranked Bowles 6-3, 6-3.
"I thought we started really strong winning five first sets in singles," Hultquist said. "We put ourselves in position to win by doing that."
Sykut earned his 91st singles win in his career on court three defeating Arnould for the third time this season with a 6-3, 6-4 straight sets victory. Bailey clinched the point on court five with a 6-2, 7-6(2) win over Michel. The Tallahassee, Fla., native was down 5-4 in the third set before coming back to send the set into a tiebreaker. After losing the first point, Bailey won seven out of eight to clinch the match.
"Drew has really come on the last part of the season," Hultquist said. "All three of our seniors have ambition for this tournament and NCAA's and they are not satisfied with just winning a couple of matches."
"I wasn't thinking about the score that much," Bailey said. "Then I went after it in the tiebreaker and was able to come out with a win."
Next up for the Seminoles is a semifinal match against No. 1 Virginia at 10:00 a.m.

No. 16 Florida State Men's Tennis Falls To No. 1 Virginia In The Semifinals Of The ACC Tournament.
Seniors Drew Bailey and Maciek Sykut upset the No. 4-ranked doubles team in the country, but Seminoles fall 4-0 to Cavs.
CARY, NC - The No. 16-ranked Florida State men's tennis team pushed No. 1 Virginia to three sets on five out of six courts but could not seal the deal falling 4-0 in the semifinals of the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament in Cary, N.C.
"Virginia showed why they are the No. 1 team in the country today," FSU head coach Dwayne Hultquist said. "We won four first sets, but when it came down to the time to win they were better than we were."
The Seminoles started out strong in doubles with seniors Drew Bailey and Maciek Sykut upset the No. 4-ranked team in the country Sanam Singh and Houston Barrick 8-3. After losing the first two games of the set, the seniors won seven straight games to cruise to the victory. With that doubles victory Sykut tied Jason White for the most doubles/singles wins in Florida State history and became the first Seminole in the history of the program to win 90 singles matches and 80 doubles matches. The Cavs came back on court one where No. 13-ranked Dominic Inglot and Michael Shabaz defeated 20th-ranked juniors Jean-Yves Aubone and Vahid Mirzadeh 8-5. The match was clinched on court three where senior Chris Cloer and sophomore Clint Bowles were beaten by Drew Courtney and Lee Singer 8-5.
"Drew and Maciek were able to beat one of the best teams in the country pretty handily," Hultquist said. "I was really pleased with how they played and to run off seven straight games is pretty impressive."
After racing out to four first set victories in singles, the Seminoles found themselves in trouble with five matches going to three sets. No. 51-ranked Bowles won his first set against No. 27-ranked Singh 6-1, but ended up losing the next two 6-3, 6-2 to give Virginia a 2-0 lead. In the only match not to enter a third set 2009 ACC Player of the Year Aubone was defeated by No. 17 Inglot in a pair of tiebreakers 7-6(1), 7-6(7). The Cavalier's clinched the match on court four where No. 82 Barrick defeated Mirzadeh 6-3, 4-6, 6-2.
"I think we are a very good team this year, but we have not broken through against the best teams yet," Hultquist said. "It's something that we have to train for and hopefully we'll break through at the end of the year."
The next match will be the first round of the NCAA Tournament beginning on May 8.

Sykut Becomes All-Time Wins Leader As No. 16 Florida State Cruises To 4-0 Victory Against Jacksonville State In First Round Of NCAA Tournament.
Senior Maciek Sykut becomes the all-time wins leader at FSU, as Seminoles advance to play Auburn in second round.
TALLAHASSEE, FL - The 16th-ranked Florida State men's tennis team advanced to the second-round of the 2009 NCAA Men's Tennis Tournament by defeating Jacksonville State 4-0 at the Scott Speicher Tennis Center.
"I thought we did what we needed to do and were professional and stayed after it," FSU head coach Dwayne Hultquist said. "We hit our shots, stayed aggressive and didn't get too high or too low. We were good today."
The Seminoles jumped out quickly in doubles winning in less than 45 minutes taking a 1-0 lead. FSU got its first doubles victory on court one where 20th-ranked juniors Jean-Yves Aubone and Vahid Mirzadeh defeated Bernardo Bachino and Gustavo Holz 8-3. The Garnet and Gold clinched the point on court two when No. 74-ranked seniors Drew Bailey and Maciek Sykut upended Eduardo Saratt and Scott Robertson 8-3. With the victory Sykut became the winningest player in Florida State history surpassing Jason White. The All-ACC performer now has 173 combined singles and doubles victories.
"One and two doubles got on top really quick and that was the key to setting the tone," Hultquist said. "Those courts really set the tone for the entire day."
Florida State got its first singles victory on court five where senior Chris Cloer defeated the Gamecocks Steffen Solomon 6-1, 6-1. Sykut gave FSU a 3-0 lead with a 6-1, 6-1 victory against Saratt. The Marathon, Fla., native ended the match with a between the legs passing shot and now is tied with White for all-time singles wins as a Seminole (92).
"This milestone snuck up on me at the end of the season," Sykut said. "I didn't know if there would be enough time for me to get there or not, but I've just kept playing my matches like I have all year and it happened."
The Seminoles clinched the match on court four where Bailey was victorious against Chris Duke. The Tallahassee, Fla., native won the first set 6-1 and at 4-3 in the second, broke Duke and went on to clinch the match. This marks the second time in three matches that the three seniors won the three singles matches for the Garnet and Gold.
"The three seniors got the wins and got off the court," Hultquist said. "I think they understand the importance of finishing off matches."
"It's pretty exciting to see the upperclassmen step up," Sykut said. "We've gotten together to step up, we're having fun and it's nice."

Seminole Seniors Send Florida State To Round Of 16 With 4-1 Win Against Auburn.
Seniors finish the first two rounds 9-0 as Florida State advances to round of 16 for second consecutive season.
TALLAHASSEE, FL - The 16th-ranked Florida State men's tennis team advanced to the round of 16 for the second consecutive season with a 4-1 victory against No. 19 Auburn at the Scott Speicher Tennis Center. The Seminoles (21-8) gained the momentum with a surprising comeback on court three in doubles.
"I knew Auburn was a strong team and we had a tough draw," FSU head coach Dwayne Hultquist said. "We really came out prepared and everyone played well and contributed."
Things looked dire for the Seminoles in doubles. The 20th-ranked juniors Jean-Yves Aubone and Vahid Mirzadeh were defeated by 10th-ranked Alexey Tsyenov and Alex Puetz 8-2. FSU evened doubles with a 8-5 win by seniors Maciek Sykut and Drew Bailey against Lukas Marsoun and Alex Stamchev on court two. However, it still look as if the Tigers would win doubles with Milan Krnjetin and Michel Monteiro up 7-3 on senior Chris Cloer and sophomore Clint Bowles on court three. Cloer and Bowles were able to come back and win the next six games of the set, including saving a match point at 7-6 to clinch the doubles point for FSU.
"On the changeover at 7-4 we were down and Clint looked at me and asked what do we need to do," Cloer said. "I told him we need to keep going and he said let's do it and a couple of points went our way and the momentum completely turned."
"I thought that match was the key because it swung the momentum," Hultquist said. "After that we won five first sets and controlled the match, it was huge."
Florida State made the score 2-0 on court three with a 6-2, 6-1 victory by Sykut against Marsoun. With the win, Sykut became the all-time singles' wins leader at FSU with 93 victories surpassing Jason White.
"Maciek may have played his best match ever today," Hultquist said. "He took it to the guy and now he has another record here at Florida State."
Cloer made the score 3-0 on court six with a 6-1, 6-4 victory. The Brevard, N.C., native earned the win by breaking Alex Petropoulos at 5-4 in the second set. Cloer now has a 6-0 record in NCAA matches. The Seminoles clinched the match on court five with Bailey earning the final point for the second consecutive day with a 6-3, 6-3 win against Krnjetin. The senior were a combined 9-0 in singles and doubles during the regional.
"I didn't know that I was the one clinching," Bailey said. "Words can't even describe how exciting it was especially when Jean-Yves rushed me, even though he was two points from clinching so it was an awesome feeling."
"To have the seniors clinch the last two days makes it even more special," Cloer said. "I don't think we want the season to end and I think we have a little more spark than in years past.
Florida State will now travel to College Station, Texas to play top-ranked Virginia in the round of 16 on Thursday, May 14 at 1:00 p.m.

Seminoles Fall 4-2 To Top Ranked Virginia In the NCAA Round Of 16.
Aubone and Mirzadeh win singles matches for Florida State as the season ends with close loss to the No. 1 team in the country.
COLLEGE STATION, TX - The 16th-ranked Florida State men's tennis team fell for the third time this season to top-ranked Virginia, this time in the round of 16 of the 2009 NCAA Men's Tennis Championships in College Station, Texas. The Seminoles, (21-9) were defeated by the Cavaliers (32-0), 4-2.
"I felt like it was a great four hour match and we've played them close all three times," FSU head coach Dwayne Hultquist said. "We had our chances and just didn't get the win."
For the third consecutive time, the Garnet and Gold lost the doubles point to Virginia. The 20th-ranked duo of juniors Jean-Yves Aubone and Vahid Mirzadeh were the first to go down as they were defeated by 12th-ranked pair Dominic Inglot and Michael Shabaz 8-3. The Cavalier duo were able to break Mirzadeh on three occasions to earn the match victory. The Seminoles took the next match on court number three where senior Chris Cloer and sophomore Clint Bowles defeated Drew Courtney and Lee Singer 8-6. Cloer and Bowles broke Courtney at 6-6 and Bowles was able to serve out the match. The doubles point came down to court two where 74th-ranked seniors Drew Bailey and Maciek Sykut were defeated by 13th-ranked Houston Barrick and Sanam Singh 8-6. Bailey and Sykut were broken at 4-4 and despite having break points at 6-5 and 7-6, they were not able to capitalize.
"I thought the key was at 7-6 in the doubles on court two where we had break point and Singh hit a great backhand down the line," Hultquist said. "Virginia has won the doubles point all three times and if we had won that point we would have had a chance."
Virginia took a 2-0 lead with a straight sets victory on court five. Courtney was able to defeat Bailey, snapping the Tallahassee, Fla., natives eight match winning streak 6-4, 6-2. FSU made the score 2-1 with Aubone earning a victory against Inglot on court one. The ACC Player of the Year capitalized on his only break chance in the first set at 5-4 to take the first, and broke the 14th-ranked Inglot at 1-0 in the second and held on for the 6-4, 6-3 win.
"I knew that it would be a tough match to get breaks," Aubone said. "I just tried to stay focused and change things up on my return and it worked. Then I was able to serve out some tough games on my serve and come up big when I needed it."
The Cavs took a 3-1 lead after they earned a victory on court two. The 26th-ranked Singh defeated No. 58 Bowles in straight sets 7-5, 6-3. Florida State struck back quickly on court four to make it a 3-2 match. After losing to No. 70 Barrick twice earlier in the season, Mirzadeh was able to turn the tables for a 6-3, 6-4 victory. The Wellington, Fla., native was able to earn two service breaks in the second set to go up 5-2, and held on to serve out the match at 5-4.
"I thought that Vahid played a very good match," Hultquist said. "He lost to him twice before, but was able to pull out a victory today."
However, Virginia was able to put the match away on court three where No. 27-ranked Shabaz was able to beat Sykut in three sets. Sykut was able to win the first set 6-4, but dropped the second 6-3. FSU's all-time wins leader had several break chances at the beginning of the third set, but could not capitalize. Shabaz was able to get an early break and went on to win the match for the Cavs, 4-6, 6-3, 6-3.
"Maciek has had a great career for us," Hultquist said. "He's won a lot of matches for us, but one of the things that makes Virginia so good is that their number three player is ranked No. 27 in the country and that is a major strength for them."
The Seminoles will now have three players compete in the NCAA singles and doubles tournaments beginning on Wednesday, May 20. Aubone and Bowles will compete in singles and Aubone will pair with Mirzadeh in doubles.

May 20, 2009

Carvalho was able to come back a tie the set at 4-4, but Bowles broke to go up 5-4 and then served out the set. There was only one break in the second set and it came at 2-2. Bowles faced several break points after that, but was able to hold on for the straight sets victory.
"I thought that Clint did a great job coming out and getting up early," FSU head coach Dwayne Hultquist said. "He was very good on his return game today and I thought that was a key."
Bowles will now play Rice's Bruno Rosa who upset No. 8 seed Robert Farah. Bowles defeated the 46th-ranked Rosa 6-4, 6-4 earlier this season in Tallahassee. The match will be played at 2:00 p.m., and the winner will earn All-American status.

"I thought Jean-Yves had one of the toughest draws in the tournament," Hultquist said. "He had a great season and accomplished a lot of things, I just wish he could have made a run at this tournament."
Aubone and junior Vahid Mirzadeh will pair up to take on Oleksandr Nedovyesov and Nathan Byrnes of Oklahoma State in the first round of the doubles tournament on Thursday.
