Arbuthnott/Davidson pulled through, but didnt make it easy on themselves! They won the first set 7-5 and were up 3-0 in the second, but only won one more game that set as UCLAs Hart/Andrews turned it on and won that set 6-4, forcing a supertiebreak. Our duo was down 8-6 in that but ended up pulling it out 11-9 to advance!
Hart/Andrews arent ranked right now, but Hart and Ena Shibahara are the #4 ranked doubles team in the country. Hart actually qualified twice for this tournament, once with Shibahara and once playing with Andrews, so by opting for this team here, UCLA is indicating that this is UCLAs top duo this spring. So, Arbuthnott/Gordon basically beat the #4 doubles team in the country, which aint too shabby!
Next up in the quarterfinals tomorrow is the 5th seeded pair of Kelley/Johanson from UVA, who beat an unseeded (but 9th-ranked) pair from Arkansas, also 11-9 in a supertiebreak, so both teams were pushed to the edge.
