Championship Sunday brought us several good matches with some decided in third set tiebreaks while others weren’t as close as we thought they’d be.

I’ve been traveling a lot over the last week due to a death in the family so I’m hoping to be back in the swing of things with tennis on Friday.

Slam.Tennis has a ton of useful information as well including an interactive scoreboard and brackets so make sure you keep that open in a separate tab.

A trio of top 15 matches highlighted the mid-week slate with the TCU men, Pepperdine women, and Duke women all coming through with wins. TCU earned a hard fought 4-3 win at home over No. 8 Texas A&M.
