Quote from NCAA site - Georgia sophomore Jamie Hunt clinched the match 6-0 in the third set of his No. 4 singles against Virginia's Sanam Singh. But the outcome was a foregone conclusion by the time it ended.

Singh, who had already taken two injury timeouts because of cramping, chose to finish the match even though he could barely move. His serves were delivered at grade-school speed, and Hunt simply had to deliver them back.
