Cornut-Chauvinc Earns Second Top-10 Singles Victory in Tight Matchup With No. 3 Virginia
3/24/2024 7:44:00 PM | Men's Tennis
TALLAHASSEE –The No. 14 Florida State men's tennis team dropped its match to No. 3 Virginia 4-1 at home Sunday afternoon.
The day began with a tightly contested doubles round that was neck-and-neck until the later portion of the sets. Virginia grabbed victories on Courts 1 and 2 to take the first point while Alex Bulte and Jamie Connel's match was left unfinished.
Youcef Rihane and Connel each suffered tight losses in their first sets before dropping their singles contests in straight-sets.
Antoine Cornut-Chauvinc faced the 10th ranked player in the country, Chris Rodesch, and fought a colossal battle in the first set before pulling away in the set tiebreaker. Cornut-Chauvinc, the No. 4 player in the nation, kept his unbeaten season intact as he won the second set 6-3 and claimed his second top-10 victory of the season.
Three singles matches went to a third set to decide the outcome. Virginia needed just one victory to clinch the match and did so on Court 6. Loris Pourroy and Joshua Dous-Karpenschif's matches were left unfinished at 2-2 and 4-2 in the final frame, respectively.
Florida State is 14-5 and 4-3 in the ACC. The Seminoles will hit the road on a shortened week with matches at Georgia Tech on Thursday and at Clemson on Saturday.
