Florida State’s Antoine Cornut-Chauvinc and Joshua Dous-Karpenschif advanced to the second round of the NCAA Doubles Championship on Tuesday afternoon after Tennessee’s pair retired during the second set. Cornut-Chauvinc’s singles season came to an end after a three-set battle in the second round.
“Antoine and Joshua played incredibly sharp in the first set and held strong on the deuce points that helped establish their rhythm before the unfortunate retiring of Tennessee’s pair,” head coach Dwayne Hultquist said. “Antoine has had an unbelievable singles career here at Florida State, becoming a two-time All-American, clinching this year’s ACC Championship, and being one of the most special players the program has ever seen.”
The Lyon, France, natives came out firing on all cylinders, quickly gaining a 4-1 first-set lead before serving out a 6-3 victory. The duo was able to snatch two service breaks in the first set before Johannus Monday and Angel Diaz retired during the second set at 1-1.
This marks the second time this matchup was unfinished in just two weeks after a thrilling 6-6 tiebreaker back in Knoxville during the third round of the NCAA Tournament was left abandoned after Florida State earned the doubles point on Courts 2 and 3.
Cornut-Chauvinc began his singles match with a dominant 6-2 first set and climbed from 3-1 down back to 3-3 in the second set. Illinois’ Karlis Ozolins pushed Cornut-Chauvinc to a third set before pulling away.
Cornut-Chauvinc finishes his collegiate singles career as one the most accomplished Seminoles in the program’s history. He was named 2024 ACC Player of the Year, the 2024 ACC Championship MVP after winning five straight games to clinch FSU’s first ACC championship, and is a two-time All-ACC Singles First Team selection.
Cornut-Chauvinc and Dous-Karpenschif advance to the round of 16 and will face the winner of the match between No. 23 Jacob Bickersteth and Gavin Young of Michigan and No. 33 Gianluca Brunkow and Pablo Masjuan of UC Santa Barbara on Wednesday afternoon.
