The post NTI women’s rankings are out and as expected Cal is the new #1 after winning its first-ever team national championship. The previous #1, Vanderbilt, fell 4 spots to #5 after suffering a quarterfinals loss to Ohio State with the Buckeyes themselves rising 10 spots from #16 to #6.

The individual rankings for both the women and men were released as well with several guys and gals entering for the first time with many previously unranked due to not playing in the fall.

Tulane’s Dominik Koepfer and Virginia’s Thai-Son Kwiatkowski stayed at #1 and #2 in the men’s singles rankings while Stanford’s Tom Fawcett rose from #9 to #3 after picking up wins over #6 Cameron Norrie (TCU), #13 Joao Monteiro (VT), #69 Freddy Gelbrich (SDSU), and #81 Alec Adamson (UCD).

Florida’s Gordon Watson and Diego Hidalgo took over the #1 spot in the men’s doubles rankings after beating #2 Hugo Dojas/Felipe Soares (Texas Tech) during the Kick-Off Weekend. The previous #1 Brett Clark/Robert Kelly (UNC) fell to #3 after losing on Sunday to Oklahoma’s previously unranked Andrew Harris/Alex Ghilea.

Ohio State’s Francesca Di Lorenzo took over the #1 spot in the women’s singles rankings after adding wins over #6 Luisa Stefani (Pepp), #13 Maegan Manasse (Cal), #17 Ronit Yurovsky (Mich), #20 Sydney Campbell (Vandy), and #26 Maiar Sherif Ahmed (Fresno St). The previous #1 Joana Eidukonyte (Clemson) fell to #11 after losing to #12 Ellen Perez (UGA) and #41 Francesca Fusinato (VT).
North Carolina’s Whitney Kay and Hayley Carter took over the #1 spot in the doubles rankings after picking up 3 ranked wins since the last doubles rankings – #11 Giuliana Olmos/Gabby Smith (USC), #34 Ellen Perez/Mariana Gould (UGA), #52 Andie Daniell/Erin Routliffe (Bama).  The previous #1 Mami Adachi/Aldila Sutjiadi (Kentucky) fell to #4 after losing 2 of their last 3 matches. 

The following guys went from unranked to inside the top 50 with notable wins listed that helped get them ranked:

#12 Aleks Vukic (Illinois) – #7 Roberto Cid (USF), #14 Konrad Zieba (NW), #51 Q Monaghan (ND)
#19 Julian Lenz (Baylor) – #8 Arthur Rinderknech (aTm), #49 D Maasland (ORE), #80 G Brymer
#26 Dominic Cotrone (S Florida) – #10 J Hiltzik (ILL), #39 S Vinsant (aTm), #71 M Nunez (FSU)
#34 Mackenzie McDonald (UCLA) – #20 Uros Petronijevic (USD), #40 Austin Smith (UGA)
#41 Mate Cutura (Mississippi State) – #7 Roberto Cid (USF), #38 Guillermo Nunez (TCU)
#46 Ryan Peniston (Memphis) – #22 Wayne Montgomery (UGA)
#47 Leonard Stakhovsky (Penn St) – #50 Dovydas Sakinis (DART), #68 Adam Moundir (ODU)

A couple of January roster additions that earned their first career rankings are #122 Alex Rybakov (TCU) and #125 Petros Chrysochos (WF). Also Purdue’s Gergely Madarasz is up to #96 after seeing his first action in January after having to sit out last season to establish residency.

Freshman Rankings:
#16 Hugo Di Feo (Ohio State)
#43 Logan Smith (USC)
#54 Alfredo Perez (Florida)
#56 Mazen Osama (Alabama)
#83 Nicolas Moreno de Alboran (UCSB)
#91 Catalin Mateas (Duke)
#104 Jake DeVine (USC)
#108 Victor Pham (Columbia)
#109 Harrison Scott (Texas)
#112 Kalman Boyd (USC) – though no longer on team
#113 Sameer Kumar (Stanford)
#119 Michael Genender (Stanford)
#122 Alex Rybakov (TCU)
#125 Petros Chrysochos (Wake Forest)

Below I’ll look at the women’s teams that moved up at least 4 spots inside the top 50 and then look at the teams that fell at least 4 spots in the top 50 with any notable results listed from the last two weeks (since they didn’t do rankings last week).

Notes:

  • Penn State (61), Yale (70), Wyoming (71), Tulane (72), and UC Irvine (74) each dropped out of the top 75 while Kansas (57), Syracuse (T-65), NC State (67), Harvard (72), and Washington State (74) entered.
  • Vanderbilt dropped 4 spots despite beating 3 top 15 teams with the 1 loss coming to a top 10 team – should have only fell to #2 in my opinion. 
  • Dartmouth dropped 10 spots despite going 1-1 with both results coming versus ranked opponents
