Doubles play solidifies team
By Melinda Weaver
Kansan sportswriter
Chemistry has been the key to success for the Kansas men's tennis team this season, helping it achieve an 8-1 record.
In singles matches, the Jayhawks have seen some ups and downs, but doubles play has provided a consistent force the team can rely on.
"We've been doing the same things we've done the whole time I've been the coach," coach Mark Riley said. "The biggest thing is that the guys like playing together. They are very close."
At No. 1 doubles, Ed Dus and Luis Uribe have teamed up to form the No. 15 team in the country this season. They are 1-1 going into the Rolex
Indoors tournament this weekend in Dallas, where they will compete against the top doubles teams in the nation.
"We've been playing together for awhile now, and we know how to play off each other," Dus said. "We just go out and do battle together."
At No. 2 doubles, Kenny Powell and Alex Barragan also have produced their share of victories, accumulating a 3-0 record.
Though the two haven't played many matches together, Barragan said they were starting to become more familiar with one another and were developing a strong game.
"He returns well, and I'm serving well," Barragan said. "Once we improve our volleys,
we'll be very tough to beat.
Kenny has a lot of experience,
and that's making the difference because we can make the important points."
The doubles combinations have been strengthened by the December addition of Rodrigo Echagaray, a six-time national juniors champion of Mexico. He has combined with Quentin Blakeney to form a strong No.3 doubles team.
"Rodrigo is an excellent doubles player," Dus said. "He and Quentin are one of the top No. 3 doubles teams in the country."
One of the strengths of the team is its depth.
In the first match of the season against Louisville, Uribe stayed home with the chicken pox. Barragan and Powell won
in their debut at No. 1 singles, defeating Chris Steel and Brent McCombe8-4.
Echagarray teamed with Dus at No. 2 doubles to defeat Kane Easter and Alex Sievertens 8-5.
Bryan Maier was added to the lineup to compete in No. 3 doubles with Blakeney, and they also won 8-6.
Though it is still early in the season, the team's doubles combinations have provided a steady backbone to build on as it continues to search for consistency in singles matches.
"Our teams are good enough that they can compete with top teams, and anything could happen," Dus said. "Mentally, that's tough for an opponent to overcome. In tennis, the mental edge is a big advantage."

Women's tennis team loses to nationally ranked teams
By Amanda Kaschube
Kansan Sportswriter
The Kansas women's tennis team dropped two dual meets last weekend as they lost to Duke and William and Mary.
Duke, ranked second in the nation, and William and Mary, ranked tenth, both have nationally-ranked singles and doubles players.
Kansas lost to Duke 9-0 on Saturday and lost to William and Mary 6-3 on Sunday.
On Saturday, Kansas' singles and doubles were both shut out against the Blue Devils.
"We started out slow, but we did a good job of not letting the first
set of singles bother us." Kansas coach Jenny Garrity said.
Kris Sell, Moorestown, N.J., senior, lost her singles match to Duke's Vanessa Webb 8.3, 6-1.
Sell is ranked 25th, while Webb is currently ranked second in the country.
"I was a little intimidated at first," Sell said. "I made a few mistakes, but I thought I could beat her."
Singles results at Duke were not available at press time.
Sell and Cheryl Malliah, North Longwood, Fla., freshman, lost to Duke's Webb and Karen Goldstein. 8-5.
Kansas second double's team of
Brooke Chiller, Warrnambool, Australia, junior, and Julia Sidorova, Riga, Latvia, junior, were defeated by Kristin Sanderson and Erica Biro. 8-3.
No. 3 doubles Christi Wagenaar, Westville, South Africa, freshman, and Lisa Malliaah, North Longwood, Fla., freshman, lost to Kathy Sell and Brooke Siebel, 8-2.
Kathy Sell is the younger sister of Kris Sell and Jenny Garrity.
"I think it was harder on Jenny because she had to coach against Kathy," Sell said. "Kathy and I just focused on our individual matches."
Against William and Mary on Sunday, Kansas won three singles matches and was shut out again in doubles.
The three upperclassmen, including Sell, clinched their singles titles for Kansas.
Sell rebounded from Saturday's defeat, beating Delphine Troch of William and Marv. 5-7, 6-3, 7-6.
Despite six double faults early on and a shaky forehand, Sell overcame a first set loss and defeated Troch.
"She was a really tough fighter," Sell said. "The match could have gone either way."
In the No. 2 singles match,
Chiller upset 34th-ranked Carolin van Rossum, 5-7, 7-5, 6-3.
Monica Sekulov, Hamersley.
Australia, sophomore won at No. 4 singles, 0.6, 6-2, 7-6.
No. 3 singles player Cheryl Mallaiah lost her match 6,1- 6,1.
Sidorova and Wagenaar lost their matches 6-0, 6-0, and 6-3, 5-7, 6-4, respectively.
"I think we were well-prepared for the meets," Sell said. "It might have been better to play a few matches before though."
Kansas doubles lost 3-0.
Despite the team's inexperience, Kansas played well, Sell said.
"The younger players played awesome," she said. "I was very proud of them after Duke. They gave us a lot of confidence."
Vital surgery gives hope, new hip to golf legend
The Associated Press
BOSTON — Jack Nicklaus left the hospital today with a new ceramic hip and hopes of playing golf again and dancing at his son's wedding.
"Postoperative recovery to date has been right on track," said Benjamin Bierbaum, the physician who performed the surgery Wednesday at New England Baptist Hospital.
"My wife told me the one thing I'm going to do is dance at my son's wedding," the 59-year-old golf great said, referring to the Feb. 20 marriage of his youngest son Michael. "Other than that, I'm going to do nothing for six weeks."
Nicklaus will miss the Masters Tournament in April for the first time in 40 years and possibly the U.S. Open Championship in June, but doctors have said he should be able to play competitively again.
"I don't have any illusions, at the age of 59 or 60, of coming back and competing with the Tiger Woodes and David Duvalus." Nicklaus said.
Winner of a record 18 majors, Nicklaus used a rigorous exercise routine to try and avoid replacing his degenerative left hip but finally yielded.
