Friday was a tremendous way to start off the weekend with 4-3 thrillers the story of the day. The only men’s showdown between top 25 teams took place in South Bend between No. 13 Notre Dame and No. 12 Virginia. The Cavaliers came into the match riding a 12-match winning streak against the Irish with Notre Dame’s only win in the series coming all the way back in 2000. The Irish grabbed the early lead with lopsided wins at No. 1 and No. 2 doubles but the Cavs came back in singles with straight set wins from Carl Soderlund, Henrik Wiersholm, and Gianni Ross at No. 2, No. 3, and No. 4 to make it 3-1. Notre Dame’s Guillermo Cabrera made...

I’ve updated my live scoring page with all the known links for the upcoming ITA Men’s & Women’s Kickoff Regionals. If you want some insight into each regional head over to Chris Halioris’s site College Tennis Ranks. Chris has done several regional previews and will likely have one on each regional by Friday. Also make sure you check out the latest podcast from Cracked Racquets which has plenty of good conversation about the kickoff weekend.

As it stands right now I’m most likely not going to have much coverage this season with free time still pretty hard to come by. I am going to try to put together live scoring links for the kickoff weekend (assuming no one else does on another site) and then after that it’ll just depend on what I can round up in the limited time that I have. For your daily news coverage keep heading over to ZooTennis plus the Tennis Recruiting Network and Cracked Racquets also continue to churn out quality content. This coming season should be as competitive as ever so I look forward to following all the action just as much as you folks.

The 2017-18 season may have just finished up but that doesn’t mean we have to wait until September to start the new season.

The 2017-18 college tennis season officially came to a close today with a few historic firsts in the finals of the singles and doubles championships.
