Devin Britton vs Roger Federer

A big Dead Guy Tip-O'-The-Hat to former Rebel netter Devin Britton. A day after this very nice article appeared in The New York Times about him, Britton went out and won 9 games against Roger Federer, perhaps the greatest men's tennis player ever. Britton was swept (6-1, 6-3, 7-5) but represented himself very well, actually hitting more winners than Federer did. Not a bad showing for his second career men's singles match.

Oh Devin, we hardly knew ye

In a blow to the tennis team, NCAA men's singles National Champion Devin Britton is going pro. Britton became the first freshman in NCAA history to claim the singels crown and is currently playing very at the Wimbledon Juniors, having advanced to the fourth round and still going.

Britton is one of the top American tennis prospects in the world. He was a key component of the Rebels' success this year on the courts and will be greatly missed. He's got a chance to make a big name for himself this week in London before heading to Croatia to serve as a practice partner for the U.S. Davis Cup team’s next match later this month.

Best of luck to you Devin.
