Gabriel Diallo beats Ohio State’s Matej Vocel to make Elite Eight

The magical postseason of Gabriel Diallo will live on another day.

After helping the Kentucky Wildcats reach the national title game, Diallo is now making a run of his own in the NCAA Men’s Singles Tournament.

Today, Diallo advanced to his first career Elite Eight after taking down Ohio State star Matej Vocel by a 6-4, 4-6, 7-5 result in the Round of 16, his second-straight year making the round, at the Khan Outdoor Tennis Complex.

To give an idea of how magical Diallo’s overall season has been, the junior entered the year winning just 19 games last season.
