Jonas Lutjen knocked off No. 2 Peter Kobelt 3-6, 6-2, 7-6(1)
Courtesy of ITA - FLUSHING, NY (Nov. 9) -- The first day of the 2012 USTA/ITA National Indoor Intercollegiate Championships, hosted by Columbia University at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing, NY, is complete.
Five of the eight seeds in the men's singles draw advanced to the round of 16 while two of the top three seeds were shocked in the opening round of play. Jonas Lutjen of Mississippi knocked off 2012 ITA All-American runner-up Peter Kobelt of Ohio State. “Kobelt, he’s a really great server and indoors it’s always hard playing against guys like that” said Lutjen. “I had some chances here and there [in the first set] but I took my chances better the second time, played a little more aggressive and that made me win the second set.”
“It came down to a tiebreaker and I got off to a quick start” raved Lutjen, who after dropping the first set, rallied to take the next two, winning 3-6, 6-2, 7-6(1). I was playing well and I was pretty focused. I just really wanted to win.” Read the full day one recap.
