Throughout the rest of this week, Cracked Racquets’ very own Matt Stachowiak will be bringing you live updates from the ACC tournament in Cary, North Carolina. Stay tuned as we follow some of the year’s best teams into their post season runs.

Due to rain in the area, the first day of the ACC Championships was forced to head indoors at the Cone-Kenfield Tennis Center in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets came away with a convincing 4-0 victory over the Boston College Eagles.

The Yellow Jackets started out strong in doubles, taking courts 1 and 3 both by scores of 6-1. Phillip Gresk and Andrew Li took out Conor Mullins and Kent Mukai, while Carlos Divar and Michael Kay clinched the first point with a victory over Derek Austin and Sean Mullins. The entire doubles point lasted only about 20 minutes. Clearly, Georgia Tech came out firing and wasn’t looking to mess around.

The Yellow Jackets carried the momentum into singles and scored three routine wins to send themselves into the second round of the tournament. Phillip Gresk provided the second point with a 6-2 6-3 decision over Max Palmer on court three. The big-serving righty was in control from the start and never appeared to be threatened.

Chris Yun put Georgia Tech up 3-0 with his 6-1 6-4 victory over Sean Mullins on court five. Yun won the first set quickly and was up 5-1 in the second set before Mullins reeled off three games in a row to tighten things up.

The clinching point was provided by Andrew Li on court 6. The junior defeated Conor Mullins 6-4 6-1. The first set was fairly tight but Li established his dominance in the second set and wrapped up the first-round win for the Yellow Jackets.

Georgia Tech will face Virginia Tech in the second-round of the ACC Championships tomorrow. When these squads met in the regular season, it was the Hokies who came away with an epic 4-3 decision at Georgia Tech. Both teams should be excited for the rematch and hopefully it can deliver. If the weather cooperates, it should be a great day of tennis with four second-round matches being played at the Cary Tennis Park.
