Cobra Corner

  • Doubles has been a staple for the Cobras, winning the doubles point in all three of the matches thus far
  • Both pairings at the end of the doubles lineup are undefeated this season, with Samuel Winter and Benedikt Wittmann pairing up at two and Andy Huynh and Joao Casas Moreira pairing up at three
  • Andy Huynh remains undefeated on the season at 6-0, earning a 3-0 mark at fifth singles and matching that mark at third doubles

Last Time Out

  • The Cobras traveled the short distance to Florence to take on the Patriots of FMU, falling 5-2 on the road
  • The Cobras used a huge doubles point victory to climb to a 1-0 lead over the Patriots. A loss at one doubles did not matter as Huyhn paired up with Casas to get a 6-1 win at the three spot while Winter and Wittmann paired up to get a 6-3 win at the two spot.
  • The Cobras quickly found themselves in a hole, dropping quick straight-setters at one and two singles. Unfortunately, the same occurred at three and six singles which secured the win for FMU.
  • Huynh grabbed the lone singles win at five singles, clinching a straight-set victory through a second-set tiebreak

Come out to the Coker Tennis Courts tomorrow afternoon to see some high-level tennis action, and head over to Sumter this weekend to support them on the road!
