Shamael Chaudhry played at #1 singles for Davidson. He performed with a lot of emotion and intensity, especially in the second set when he looked over to his teammates after every point for motivation. It may have also turned out to be a distraction for him at times, as he wasn't able to convert any big points when he needed them.
Clemson #1, Hunter Harrington played a great match. He won the first set 6-4.
Chaudhry has an outstanding one-handed backhand. He used it with success throughout the match.
