STILLWATER, Okla. – Florida State's Antoine Cornut-Chauvinc rolled in straight sets over Mississippi State's Nemanja Malesevic 6-3, 6-2 during Monday's first round of the NCAA Singles Championship.
"Antoine earned a really good win today and did a great job of executing the game plan," head coach Dwayne Hultquist said. "Winning a bunch of points early in the match really set the tone and I love the fact that he got up quick in both sets and finished strong."
Cornut-Chauvinc, the tournament's No. 3 seed, opened the match with four straight games to take an early lead before riding out the remainder of the set to win 6-3. He broke his opponent's service game three different times in the set.
The senior won four of the opening five games in the second set to put the match out of reach and finished with a fifth service break to move past the first day of the championships. Cornut-Chauvinc earned his 13th top-50 win of the season.
Cornut-Chauvinc advances to the round of 32 and will face No. 26 Karlis Ozolins of Illinois on Tuesday and also begins his doubles championship run with Joshua Dous-Karpenschif. The pair will take on sixth-ranked Johannus Monday and Angel Diaz of Tennessee following singles action Tuesday.
