ROLEX NATIONAL INDOOR
INTERCOLLEGIATE CHAMPIONSHIPS
Brookhaven Country Club - Farmers Branch, Texas - February 1-4, 2001
Two unseeded teams took home doubles crowns today. Johan Brunstrom and Jon Wallmark of SMU narrowly earned the men's title after two tie-break sets over VA Commonwealth's Florian Marquardt and Frank Moser. In the women's doubles final, Stanford's Laura Granville had an easier time over Paola Palencia and Ipek Senoglu of Pepperdine, though it was the latter duo's third straight ITA Grand Slam final. Granville will also play the singles final today against Duke's Ansley Cargill. The two former juniors had frequently met before the college circuit and should provide an interesting match up. The men's match should be equally challenging as NCAA singles winner Alex Kim (also from Stanford) will go up against Arkansas' Oskar Johansson, the T. Rowe Price Clay Court champion.
