Nevolo moving on in singles, doubles

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Third-seeded Dennis Nevolo of Illinois edged seventh-seeded Even King of Michigan 7-6 (5), 7-6 (4) to advance to the semifinals of the ITA Midwest Regional Championships on Sunday.

“It was a well-fought, close match,” Illini coach Brad Dancer said. “There was some great shot making and a lot of back forth, so I’m proud of the way Dennis hung in there and weathered the storm. He did a great job managing himself.”

Nevolo will face Notre Dame’s Casey Watt (seeded ninth) in the semifinals today.

Illini Marek Czerwinski dropped his quarterfinal match 7-6 (0), 6-1 to second-seeded Maritz Baumann of Wisconsin.

Nevolo and Czerwinski, the fifth-seeded doubles tandem advanced to the semifinals with a 9-8 (6) win against Ohio State’s fourth-seeded Matt Allare and Shuhei Uzawa.
