Senior In the Spotlight As UNC Moves On To Sweet 16

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – It seemed only fitting that on UNC's commencement day, Carolina's only men's tennis senior provided the pivotal victory to clinch a 4-0 win over No. 20 Tennessee and send the Tar Heels on to the NCAA Round of 16. Playing at Cone-Kenfield Tennis Center for the final time, Robert Kelly served for match point up 5-4 after winning his first set 6-4 on Court 4. When Scott Jones' return went just wide, Kelly pumped his fist and calmly walked to the net, knowing his team was moving on.

"It's a crazy feeling, my last match at Cone-Kenfield," he said.
