Chris Edge's Dominating Day that Almost Never Was
CHARLOTTE, N.C.—It was 5:30 a.m. Middle Tennessee State's Head Men's Tennis Coach Jimmy Borendame picked up a squeegee and started mopping the water off the outdoor courts at the Halton-Wagner Tennis Complex. He didn't sleep much the night before. Rain soaked the courts the previous night and his team had to start warm-ups at 10:00, so he didn't mind that he didn't have much sleep.
His team didn't get much sleep either. They all tossed and turned, ready for a chance to secure a second straight Conference USA Championship when they woke up a few short hours after Borendame began to prepare the courts.
