Friday Preview – Sooners/Buckeyes, Hoos/Deacs, Aggies/Dawgs, Gators/Dores

It should be a fabulous Friday of college tennis and if you happen to be in close proximity to Athens (GA), Columbus (OH), Winston-Salem (NC), or Nashville (TN) I suggest you find a way to make it over to campus and watch some great high-level tennis. If you can’t make it out in person then at least make sure you take advantage of the free live streaming video that Georgia, Wake Forest, and Ohio State will be offering up for the matches. I think we’ll see at least 1 upset in the 4 big matches though I’d be surprised if we saw more than 1.FYI, the number beside the player’s school is the player’s Universal Tennis Rating as of...

Stanford wins the Big Slam, Ohio State makes it 200 straight, Wake toogood, Ivy League no joke + My Sunday Preview

I knew it’d be hard for today’s matches to follow up those from Friday but while a few of them came up short in the drama department the one that didn’t was the “Big Slam” in Berkeley as Stanford pulled out a classic 4-3 win over rival Cal.  Cal jumped out to the early lead by taking the doubles point with a 7-5 win at #3 doubles in the clinching match.  Stanford welcomed freshman David Hsu back into the singles lineup at 5 which shifted Nolan Paige to 6 while Cal made a switch at 5 and 6 and moved Greg Bayane up from 6 to 5 and dropped Wikberg from 5 to 6.  After dropping the doubles point the momentum shifted...

Friday was an entertaining start to the weekend and I expect that Saturday should more of the same.  Let’s take a look at the highlighted matches on Saturday.The number beside the player’s school is the player’s Universal Tennis Rating as of the current date so Notre Dame’s Quentin Monaghan has a 14.28 UTR as of today 2/21.  For more details about UTR check out theirwebsite.  #17 Notre Dame (6-1) at #9 Ohio State (10-3) – 12pm est – Live Scoring & Streaming – Ohio State goes for #200 in a row at home (according to my records) though it won’t be easy as Notre Dame...

Down Goes #1, UNC unable to finish, Vandy wins 4-3 again, & a look ahead to Saturday

What a start to the weekend it was with 2 thrillers taking place 100 miles apart as Texas A&M took out the new #1 Oklahoma 4-3 in College Station while Texas’s Lloyd Glasspool refused to lay down as Texas knocked off North Carolina 4-3 in Austin.  We’ll start off in College Station where #1 Oklahoma came to town expecting to waltz all over Texas A&M but the Aggies had other plans as they took the all important doubles point and were then able to pick up 3 1st sets and ultimately pulled off the stunner when freshman Arthur Rinderknech came back from a set down to knock off Oklahoma freshman Spencer Papa 6-7, 6-3, 6-1 at the #4 spot....
