SEATTLE, Wash. - James Watt was a late addition to the ITA Division-I Northwest Super Regional Championships after his outstanding performances throughout the fall 2021 season, including advancing to the semifinals of the Northwest Regionals in the Men's Singles Division last week.

Watt knocked out James Davis of the host Washington Huskies 7-5, 7-5 in the first round of the super finals to advance to the round of 16. In the second round, Watt was locked in a battle with #6 Sema Pankin of the University of the Pacific that went to three sets.

The first set went to a tie breaker that Watt would win 7-6 (5). Watt found himself trailing early in the second set, but briefly took a lead after a nice comeback before Pankin would pull away for the 6-3 win. The third set would go to Pankin 6-2 to eliminate Watt after good battle in the second round.
