Okay if today's OSU quarterfinal were played based on a UTR rankings instead, here's a simulated breakdown with ACC University of Virginia.
Head to Head Singles with UTR rankings from Collegetennisranks.com.
1. JJ Wolf 14.91 vs. Carl Soderlund 14.36 (Adv. OSU)
2. John McNally 13.73 vs. Henrik Wiersholm 13.55 (Even)
3. Kyle Seelig 13.88 vs. Brandon Nakashima 14.28 (Adv. UVa)
4. Martin Joyce 13.80 vs. Gianni Ross 13.55 (Adv. OSU)
5. Alex Kobelt 13.42 vs. Ryan Goetz 13.42 (Even)
6. Hunter Tubert 13.45 vs. Aswin Lizen 13.14 (Adv. OSU)
Gracelhink predictions;
At #1 I cant imagine anyone defeating JJ Wolf right now, only potential player left to challenge him is UCLA Cressey;
At #2 court, Wiersholm is much stronger than his 13.55 UTR and if this is a decider or finishes, McNally though better UTR will be challenged to prevail.
At #3, Nakashima is very good, yesterday he dominated Stanford #33 ITA ranked Genessen 6-1, 6-2. Seelig will have his hands full.
OSU will need to take advantage of its depth at 4, 5, and 6 lines.
Depending on how sharp #4 Martin Joyce plays, he should handle Ross,
UVA #5 Goetz and #6 Lizen are playing at high levels, both winning in straight sets over Stanford yesterday. But Kobelt and Tubert are on fire.
Bucks will need the dubs point for a cushion against any upset. The dubs are volatile and unpredictable. As Tucker has commented, who wins sometimes depends on which side of the bed you got out on,...
So if Bucks lose the dubs point, they will need 4 of the singles to go their way.
I could see wins coming at #1, 4, 5, and 6, but it won't be simple or easy.
Anyone else want to share prognostications from Buckeye Planet family?
Go Bucks!
