The next day Harvard took on host Kentucky in an even battle. Harvard (7-4) is ranked No. 24 by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA), while the Wildcats hold the No. 23 spot. The Crimson got off to a slow start and never recovered, losing 5-2 again.

The Rich/Swart doubles team, successful against Indiana, hit a wall Sunday, losing 8-4 to Reven Stephens and Carlos Drada. Kentucky then got the doubles point by winning the No.1 match, as Johan Hesoun and teammate Gustav Pousette beat Green and Lingman 8-6. Deferring to time concerns, the No. 2 match, featuring Styperek and Lee, was suspended at six games all.

Going to the singles next, Edo Bawono took out Lee 6-2, 6-0 at the No. 3 position. The match was closer than the score indicates, however, because Lee often fought off a lot of deuce and ad points. At No. 4, Pousette easily dismissed Barker in straight sets, 6-4, 6-3.

The most exciting match came at No. 2, where the freshman Lingman took on the hard-hitting Hesoun. A combination of powerful groundstrokes and well-timed return of serves gave Lingman the edge he needed to win 7-5, 6-4.

Green also fought Drada to the finish in the No. 1 match. After winning the first set, 6-3, Green got destroyed in a second-set tiebreak, 7-1, to get the match to a set apiece. Drada used the momentum to beat a frustrated and out-of-step Green 6-3 in the third set.

"He played very well after that tiebreaker," Green said. "A couple of points just went the wrong way."

The match safely in hand, Kentucky won another point at No. 5 but Swart had a successful outing once again at No. 6, beating Jorge Escallon in a wild match, 6-4, 5-7, 1-0 (10-8).
