Georgia Tech hosted the USTA/ITA Southeast Regional in October and while I was in Atlanta I was able to see the qualifying matches prior to the start of the main draw.
From the GT Tennis website - The University of Georgia's Nathan Pasha, the No. 2 seed in singles at the USTA/ITA Southeast Regional, breezed to the singles championship October 15 at the Ken Byers Tennis Complex at Georgia Tech. He defeated Sasha Gozun of South Florida, 6-2, 6-1. Pasha never lost a set in his six regional tournament matches, and his tightest contest was a 7-6, 6-4 win over North Florida's Norbert Nemscek in the round of 16. Georgia Tech freshman Carlos Benito advanced to the consolation finals of the regional, but lost in the finals match to top-16 seed Gordon Watson of Florida, 6-2, 6-1.
Pasha advanced to the USTA/ITA National Collegiate Indoor Championships in November at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing, N.Y.

I stayed in the Atlanta Marriott Marquis over the weekend, just a few miles from Tech, and had this view of the city.
