As day three of the Bedford Cup began in The Sunshine State\u2019s Capital junior Jordi Vives (Barcelona, Spain\/IES Ferran Tallada\/USC)<\/strong> prepared to take to the baseline for his singles Quaterfinals match, making him the all-time furthest-advancing FGCU player in the tournament filled with Florida\u2019s best.<\/p>\n

Facing No. 5 seed Grayson Goldin of FSU, who beat Adrian Reid (Lima, Peru\/Altair School) <\/strong>6-1, 6-2 in the first round, Vives entered the match knowing he\u2019d have to play to his best ability if he wanted to secure a spot in the Semifinals. After a close battle between skilled players, Goldin claimed a 6-3, 6-4 victory over Vives, leading to FGCU\u2019s dismissal from the main singles draw.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m disappointed in how I played today,\u201d said Vives. \u201cBut tennis is sometimes like that. There is nothing else I can do except work harder to get better as a player. As a team I feel that the tournament was great for some of us to learn and get better. It\u2019s just the beginning, we\u2019ll be back, and we\u2019ll be stronger.\u201d<\/p>\n

Racking up a victory for the Green and Blue today was junior Tianyu Bao (Tianjin, China\/Bayshore HS)<\/strong> beating Gerald Nickerson of Florida Atlantic 6-0, 6-1 in his singles consolation match.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a challenging tournament for us,\u201d Bao said. \u201cI think we competed well and represented ourselves very well. I know all the guys are looking forward to getting back on the practice court and begin preparing for our next tournament.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Bedford Cup was a real tough tournament this weekend,\u201d head coach C.J. Weber said. \u201cThe competition was high and I\u2019m glad we got to challenge ourselves like this so early in the season. We are looking forward to getting back out on the practice courts to get ready for Georgia Southern next weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Eagles will return to their fall tour Oct. 4-6 as they travel to Statesboro, Ga. for the Georgia Southern Championships<\/p>\n
