Update from the NCAA tennis tournament
John Isner is through easily to the Round of 16. He rolled to a 6-3, 6-1 win over Bassam Beidas of Pepperdine. Next up is Kevin Skupski of LSU. Skupski, by the way, knocked off Wake Forest's Todd Paul - a 9-16 seed - in the first round.
Catherine Newman's locked up in a tight match, it's 5-5 in the first set against Theresa Logar of Stanford, a 9-16 seed.
In the Big Four, UNC's Katrina Tsang lost in the second round of the women's singles draw, to Melina Gloria of Fresno State, 6-2, 6-3. She was the last Big Four player alive in singles, in either men's or women's. Not exactly a banner year on the courts individually for UNC, Duke, Wake and State.
