  1. The check purposely whited out to just show zero had me laughing Also another blue chip Californian (top 100 junior ITF) verballed to UT this past week- I think for the 2021 season!
  2. Seeing as the women's team just got a junior slam doubles champion, looks like the men's team had to get one too. Spizzirri just won the US Open Juniors doubles tournament. He's also the number one rated recruit on Tennis Recruiting. Looks like recruiting hasn't slowed down since Berque got hired. Class of 2020 has three Top 10 recruits! Wonder if we're also targeting Armilli's younger brother who for two years was also a blue chip recruit.
  3. Not officially a UT athlete yet, but Nagy just won a 25k dubs title. Really hoping with her addition the doubles lineup will stabilize and won't be a weak point
  4. Yes. Even some mid distance guys run XC in college. Leo Manzano (1500 Olympic medalist) ran a couple of Cross Country meets at Texas
  5. Minny up 2-0 right now against Tree
  6. Hate to say it but lots of tennis does come from parent's financial support. I've known friends just at the national level spending around $20,000 a year on the sport. Not going to be specific but there have been quite a few players at Texas in the past two decades who come from well off background and are able to play ITFs making their prep results quite impressive. On the flip side, there have also been other players that aren't as accomplished due to limited resources before they've come to Texas and have excelled. With Nagy, I'm cautious to say but I think she's getting support from her national tennis federation- due to having played Fed Cup and having an Olympian parent.
  7. Nagy played ITF 15K back in Hungary and reached quarters, including an impressive win over a Finnish opponent who has won 2 ITFs this summer. Bianca beat All American Lauren Proctor in California this week.
  8. I just want to temper your expectation for Iosia setting the middles in college. I know Hahn also did that while she was in high school too. Even now when she can overhand set as a DS all her sets are going to the OH.
  9. Wonder how much of a mental beatdown this is. Will Serena even want to finish the rest of the season?
  10. Anybody know what's the specific rule with Micaya's foot fault? When Sha'dare McNeal served earlier this decade, she started her approach well outside the lines.

  12. Oh wow Joffe does have a huge recruit- Adrienn Nagy (according to twitter). Top 30 Junior ranking (this is higher than Bianca's career high) BUT most importantly has big doubles results. Current Junior Australian Open and Orange Bowl doubles champion. Also a semifinalist at this year's French Open. Represented her country in Fed Cup. Currently competing at the US Junior Open. Mother was also a professional tennis player.
  13. Sigh..... Markovic transferred to Hawaii. Granic also missing from the roster. Don't know why. She gave an interview to a Croatian website just last month. https://www.slobodnadalmacija.hr/sport/tenis/clanak/id/613175/sad-se-zeli-okusati-i-na-wta-touru-splicanka-dosla-na-odmor-iz-sad-a-i-usput-postala-prvakinja-hrvatske If Google translate is working correctly, she was talking about playing the $15k tournaments in the fall when she got back and sounded excited to be finishing her marketing degree here. Let's hope there's some second semester freshmen Joffe is working to get over here.
  14. Rumor is he's going pro. Heard rumblings that he switched his commitment from TCU to Baylor because of the Baylor-Oracle connection allowing him to get WC's to a bunch of challengers. With >$100K prize money, top 300 rankings, and now the USTA teen poster boy, there should be no need of those Oracle WC's.
  15. Genie is just bad Berdych upset by the American teen
  16. Incoming Baylor Freshmen Jenson Brooksby just qualified for the main draw at the US Open
  17. Whitehead replaces Brett Masi who went to U$C. Rumor is that the old coach was also in on the admissions scandal at the school.
  18. It's only been last three, four years serving has been bad. Up til 2016, Texas had a pretty good ace to errors ratio and most of the serves weren't lollipops. The only bad regular server I can remember would have been Dalton.
  19. Yuya played in an ATP challenger last week. Beat a top 400 player and lost to the eventual champion (former top 50 player)
  20. Yuya snags doubles bronze at the World University Games in Italy Future freshmen Leighton Allen is featured on TennisRecruiting for winning Clay Nationals https://tennisrecruiting.net/article.asp?id=299870233 Fellow class member Evin McDonald placed third in the same event
  21. Bianca also at 367 in the WTA rankings Petra also won a national tournament in Croatia, also taking second in doubles earlier this month
  22. Congrats on the hardware!
  23. Another week and another doubles runner up for Anna (this time with an OU partner)! 😊 Both twins are also in their singles finals tomorrow. Bianca should have a new career high ranking regardless of the outcome of tomorrow's final.
  24. Anna just won a pro title with friend and Florida State player Touly in Tunisia! Also made semis in the singles. Bianca played in a higher tier tournament and also had a good showing
  25. That makes 12 (out of 20) Top 10 season ending rankings for Texas Athletics for the 2018-2019 year!
