Senior co-captain Justin Kronauge has cemented his place in the Ohio State record books: he is the all-time leader in singles, doubles and combined wins.
After being shutout in the first set, 6-0, Kronauge, ranked 23rd in the ITA standings, executed an impressive rally, nearly serving a second-set goose egg (6-1) himself. The third and deciding set was much more dramatic, but the Buckeye from Dayton, Ohio, pulled out the victory, 7-5. Not only did Kronauge extend his win streak in singles to 25, he also became Ohio State's career singles wins leader with 147 victories. The 2010 Midwest Region Farnsworth/ITA Senior Player of the Year accomplished this feat after already topping the program's combined and doubles wins list earlier this season. Among his 36 wins, Kronauge has lost the first set just four times this season and owns a 3-1 record when he does so. Kronauge will face Oklahoma State's and sixth seed Oleksandr Nedovyesov next.
In addition to continued action in the singles championship, Buchanan will pair with freshman and Rijeka, Croatia, native Dino Marcan in the 32-field doubles bracket at 5 p.m. Thursday. The Buckeye duo will open action against Auburn's Tim Puetz and Alexander Stamchev. . . .
