Li calmed down and won 1st set 6-4. So of the 5 matches where 1st sets have completed, we won 4 of them.

Apltauer won his 1st set, meaning 5 of the 6 Vols won their 1st sets.
2nd sets aren't off to quite as great a start, so good thing we have some margin for error here.

Li is down 5-1 in the 2nd.
Pieczonka on the verge of giving the Vols their 2nd point, up 5-2 in the 2nd.

Pieczonka closed his match out, so it's 2-0 Vols

Mitsui closes his match out, and now we're on Monday watch on court 1 to close the whole thing out.

Gosh, Monday gets broken with 2 chances to win the match. 5-5 now in the 2nd.

Monday breaks back and it's 6-5.
Diaz is on the brink on court 5. I would have loved for Monday to win before that one finished out.

Diaz lost and it's not looking too great for Li on Court 3. This match could all of a sudden become a nail biter if Monday doesn't finish this one off.

Match point again!

And Monday comes through. 4-1 Vols!
Glad we won the doubles point, because I have no confidence we would have won either of the remaining matches going on. Li looked like he was on the verge of losing his 3rd set, and Apltauer was in a tight 2nd set. If he had lost that, then we would have had our SEC tournament hopes riding on Apltauer in a 3rd set.

I appreciate the tennis and baseball threads. We just got home from a long afternoon and evening at our son and his fiance's wedding rehearsal/dinner, and tomorrow will be pretty much wedding stuff all day and evening. So I'll just have to check our scores again from afar as opportunity allows.

Awh, it’s another “tool” shower which by the way I have checked around in the western part of Tennessee and it is definitely not “A Thing” I mean most people don’t know what I’m talking about 😳but the best to your son and his bride to be.

It is the most obvious "A Thing" there has ever been, and I can't help it if the folks in western Tennessee have not learned to use tools yet. It's a distinguishing feature that separates us from the animals.
