Tomorrow's quarterfinals will feature all seeded players. Top seed Peter Kobelt lead the way for the Buckeyes as he beat Northern Illinois' Axel Lagerlof followed by Notre Dame's Josh Hagar. Kobelt will play Michigan State's Aaron Pfister in the quarterfinals tomorrow. 4th seed Chris Diaz of Ohio State also advanced to the quarterfinals and will play teammate Hunter Callahan (9 seed). Diaz defeated Leopold Gomez Islinger from Wisconsin-Green Bay and then Northwestern's Mihir Kumar in 3 sets. Callahan defeated Filip Dzanko from DePaul followed by Notre Dame's Kenneth Sabacinski. The other quarterfinals for the singles tomorrow consist of an all-Illinois match featuring 3 seed Tim Kopinski vs. 10 seed Farris Gosea and then 2 seed Greg Andrews (Notre Dame) vs. 12 seed Nadin Indre (Western Michigan).
For the Buckeyes, freshman Marko Goles-Babic and redshirt junior Kevin Metka both made it to the round of 16 today. Goles-Babic defeated fellow freshman Sam Shropshire of Northwestern in the round of 32 before falling to Kopinski. Shropshire may seem a familiar name as he defeated Stefan Kozlov in the 3rd round of Kalamazoo this year. Metka also defeated a Northwestern Wildcat in the round of 32, as he defeated Alex Pasareanu but then lost to Pfister.
In the doubles, the Buckeyes went undefeated today between their 2 teams left in the main draw. Number 2 seeds Kevin Metka and Peter Kobelt won 2 matches as they defeated Kuelker and Bellutti of Cleveland State and then Singil and Sisko of Toledo. The other team consisting of Hunter Callahan and Chris Diaz also won 2 matches as they defeated the Detroit team of Kadyrov and Cawood, followed by the Wisconsin team of Strabo and Kokorev. Both teams are in tomorrow's quarterfinals. Kobelt and Metka will play the Notre Dame team of Quentin Monaghan and Josh Hagar (19 seed), while Diaz and Callahan will play the 3 seeds from DePaul, Filip Dzanko and David Vieyra.
The other doubles quarterfinals are:
Kopinski/Guignon, Illinois (1) vs. Petrone/Zhu, Michigan (5)
Lawson/Andrews, Notre Dame (4) vs. Jesse/Gosea, Illinois (8)
