Men's tennis took one on the chin in Athens today

to start SEC play. Lost 4-0 to #33 Georgia. Athens is probably the toughest place to play college tennis, with the largest-capacity stands. LSU has a target on their back now with the lofty #5 ranking.
UGA came out on fire and won doubles and then won three quick, straight-set matches on courts 4-6 to clinch the upset win.
Doubles
1. #64 Arda Azkara/Santiago Giamichelle (UGA) def. Sasa Markovic/Andrej Loncarevic (LSU) 6-4
2. Will Jansen/Gabriele Vulpitta (UGA) def. #63 Matias Ponce De Leon/Erik Arutiunian (LSU) 6-1
3. Derrick Chen/Noah Johnston (UGA) vs. Enzo Kohlmann/Olaf Pieczkowski (LSU) 5-6 unfinished
Singles
1: #42 Arda Azkara (UGA) vs. Olaf Pieczkowski (LSU) 7-5, 2-3 unfinished
2: #30 Will Jansen (UGA) vs. #53 Erik Arutiunian (LSU) 3-6, 4-3 unfinished
3: #60 Santiago Giamichelle (UGA) vs. #102 Andrej Loncarevic (LSU) 4-6, 3-3 unfinished
4: Derrick Chen (UGA) def. Enzo Kohlmann (LSU) 6-3, 6-2
5: Noah Johnston (UGA) def. Sasa Markovic (LSU) 6-1, 6-2
6: #77 Gabriele Vulpitta (UGA) def. Matias Ponce De Leon (LSU) 6-2, 6-4

Huh? Aren’t people silent in tennis? I always see them crying on sportscenter when someone breathes too loud

Go to a college tennis match sometime. It's not quiet at all. There's six matches going on at once and players get very vocal.

Yeah college tennis is a little different.

Not college. There’s some expectation of sportsmanship during points but crowds can get rowdy and have fun in between (tennis-level, of course)

Don't think that's the case in college. Especially when you have 6 matches going on at the same time.
I understand why they don't finish them all. But I kind of wish they finished all the matches. Decent chance LSU would have won the 3 remaining matches and a 3-4 loss looks better to a casual observer than 0-4.

Yeah the only rule is you can't directly yell at players in the middle of points.
Of course people kind of scurry around the rules by shouting for another player on another court in the middle of a point.

Just an arse kicking all the way around as we don’t look ready for prime time. Plenty of time to turn this around but is concerning and shows we’re overrated.

I think LSU is till for real but playing in Athens just hit them unaware. Also the first outdoor match of the year after the indoor championships. Plus being #5 puts a big target on the back. The way the tennis rankings work a big ranked win is worth a lot. Like UGA will now jump from 33 to #13 just because of that win.
