THE FLATS – Georgia Tech men’s tennis doubles team, Andres Martin and Marcus McDaniel, concluded their impressive run at the NCAA Championships after they fell to Texas, the reigning national doubles champion.
Despite losing in the semifinals, both Martin and McDaniel have been named All-Americans for their stellar performances during the tournament. The two juniors are the first Tech doubles pair to advance to the semifinals since Kevin King and Juan Spir in 2011.
During their run in the NCAA Doubles Championships, Martin and McDaniel’s victories were against two top 10 teams (Michigan State, No. 10; Michigan, No. 7) and the No. 19 team in the nation from Vanderbilt. For reference, the Tech duo was ranked 30th before entering the tournament.
Martin also garnered All-American honors for being seeded sixth in the singles tournament.
