Devvarman,
Oudin Owned Their Baselines, Denied Foes Kendrick, Gullickson the Net
NCAA Men’s
Singles Champ, World’s No. 3 Junior Girl Earn First Challenger
The title matches were eerily similar in score and execution: unseeded
Devvarman of India defeated third-seeded Robert Kendrick 6-3, 6-3 by not
allowing the big Californian to slug balls by him; eighth-seeded Oudin
out-grounded unseeded Carly Gullickson 6-4, 6-2, plus making her volley
below the tape whenever the slower woman came to net.
Both winners had slightly easier trips to the singles finals than did the
vanquished runners-up. But, Devarrman knocked off second-seeded Bobby
Reynolds in a 2nd round three-setter and eighth-seeded Oudin –
never extended to an extra set – had to oust fifth-seeded Ye-Ra Lee in the
semis. Keep in mind Devvarman had the
three additional matches of qualifying before catching the
break of Xavier Malisse
retiring in the semis with an injury early in the first set.
