TULSA, Okla. -- Top-seeded Somdev Devvarman of Virginia advanced to the final of the NCAA Singles Championship with a 6-4, 7-6 (3) victory over Stanford's Alex Clayton. He will look to win the NCAA Singles Championship for the second consecutive year today.

Devvarman, the 2007 champion and 2006 runner-up, becomes the first player since Northwestern's Marty Riessen (1962-64) to reach three consecutive NCAA singles finals.

The win was Devvarman's 17th career NCAA Singles Championship victory, extending his tournament record (since the singles tournament split from the team tournament in 1977).

He improves to 43-1 this season in singles and has won his last 35 consecutive matches.

Devvarman will play either Andre Begemann of Pepperdine or J.P. Smith of Tennessee in the final.

The match will begin at 5 p.m. and will be televised by the Tennis Channel on a tape-delay basis. There has been no announcement yet on when the match will air on the network.
