The Georgia men's tennis team destroyed William & Mary 6-1 on February 11th, 2012. The Georgia Men's tennis head coach, Manuel Diaz, had used this matchup as an opportunity to rest some of his starting players and allow others to play in today's lineup. Redshirt freshman Eric Diaz, son of Manuel Diaz, got his first chance to play in the starting lineup and he did not disappoint. The freshman made easy work out of William & Mary's Robert Pietrucha, taking him out 6-2, 6-0. Meanwhile, Wil Spencer had to sit out for the Bulldogs in a second straight match due to still recovering from a groin injury. Playing at the one spot was senior Sadio Doumbia who also displayed a strong showing, defeating his opponent, 6-0, 6-1. Georgia kept rolling through the lineup, as the Tribe was unable to stop the Bulldogs Hernus Pieters or Ku Singh. Singh won his match against the Tribe’s Anton Andersson in straight sets, 6-1, 6-2 and Pieters finished after him, beating Ben Hoogland 6-2, 6-2. Bulldog senior Ignacio Taboada won the first set of his match 6-2, but barely managed to hang on for the win in the second set. He defeated Tribe's John Blank 6-2, 7-5. Campbell Johnson suffered the only loss for the Bulldogs, losing his match 6-4, 6-4. The Bulldogs won the doubles point as well, sweeping the Tribe's doubles teams. With this victory, the Georgia Bulldogs are now 5-0 in 2012.
