After the ITA Kickoff matches were completed during the day at the Ken Byers Tennis Complex, the Georgia Tech men's team was ready to go against the Furman Paladins.
Surprisingly, Furman won the doubles point with wins on courts one and two. On court three, the Tech duo of Cole Fiegel and Nathan Rakitt defeated Jacob Behal and Stefan Rhodes 6-0.
During doubles play, the Georgia Tech Golden Retrievers are positioned on all three courts to get the balls back to the players. This is a great touch for a college tennis match and the players do a great job of communicating with the kids during the match. Thank GT Head Coach Kenny Thorne for this great idea.
On court three, Eduardo Segura of GT defeated Ben Horst in straight sets 6-4, 6-4. His victory clinched the match win for the Jackets.
On court four, Tech's Michael Kay battled throughout the first set and won it in a tiebreak, 7-6 versus Cameron Green. He had an easier time in the second set, winning it 6-1.
On court two, Christopher Eubanks from GT played steady and beat Matt Browne 6-3, 6-4. The Jackets were up 2-1 at this point.

GT Head Coach Kenny Thorne is always keeping his eyes on the action. He was happy with the overall result, as the Yellow Jackets' won all their singles matches and won the contest 6-1. That pushed their record to 3-0 in 2015.
