  1. Former Longhorn Lloyd Glasspool is now in the third round of men's doubles Recently broke the top 100 in doubles
  2. Also former player Sarah Lancaster is doing track as an amateur and has qualified for the Olympic Trials! https://www.runnersworld.com/runners-stories/a36622021/sarah-lancaster-olympic-track-trials/ Lancaster was your essential player at the bottom of the lineup. I remember her being a backboard when she played.
  3. It's been less than one month but some impressive results on the summer circuit- Kylie beat Montserrat Gonzalez (former top 200 player) Lulu beat Whitney Osuigwe (formerly ranked 105, still ranked in the 200s) Charlotte beat two former All Americans, Shapatava (former top 200) and the number one recruit in this year's class. Some of these opponents haven't had impressive results recently; it's still a feat to beat these pro players who have made Grand Slam Main Draws before If these results get TOO impressive, then Texas may be at risk for half the team turning pro early lol
  4. Peyton gave an excellent interview right after the QFs. Talked about her pre college experiences (wished she could have gone to high school), what improvements she has made to her game, Joffe helping her mental games, favorite Austin restaurants... Even if she turns pro, I think Texas is in good hands. Additionally, the Big 12 Player of the Year from OK State is transferring. One of Iowa State's player is doing an inter conference transfer to WVU. And Baylor is also losing a player to the transfer portal.
  5. As if there was nothing else to motivate the Tar Heels- US Open wildcard on the line for Jones and Scotty
  6. Collins and Sun wins 0 and 1 against Morra and Daavettila of UNC. Gets All American Honors. Wear and tear of the past week must be taking its toll. Collins seemed like the only one of the four playing at 100% her level. Sun was walking into her shots and spinning her serve in (I'm guessing full body cramping?). Collins was amazing!
  7. Anna lost- end of a great career for the Turatis! Peyton is on to the next round.
  8. Yeah- I was also shocked to see when Lulu came to Texas. Out of everyone on the roster, she was probably the most suited for the pro circuit. Extremely well known to tennisforum. Junior slam doubles finalist and number 13 Junior ranking. Had considerable pro success- won 2 15K and had multiple semis in the 25k. She also has the option to represent either Switzerland and New Zealand, two countries known to provide generous support to their tennis athletes. (I also my be wrong but someone on tennisforum was saying she's from a well off family) Joffe either recruited her really hard or she really wanted to have the college experience. I think she'll stays unless she starts winning multiple 25k's over the summer and fall.
  9. Yep... This champ was won by this current team but huge props to all the players who stayed through the mess (Bree, Neda, etc.), the players who bought into Joffe's vision when there was nothing (Bianca, Poluta, Crovetti, etc.) and the former assistant coaches (Dolehide, Shaimaa). They laid the foundation for this team.
  10. NATIONAL CHAMPS!!! From the depths of 2015 til now! Give Joffe both a raise and extension!!!!
  11. Lulu has lost 7 points in a row or something like that. Needs to stop the bleeding!
  12. To second how good Marta is, she beat the second best player on the Baylor in the fall season. A shame half of her college career was COVID and ACL injury. UNC losing yesterday was a massive disappointment for them. To be fair, they were under massive pressure- anything less than a championship would have been considered an underachievement. Today's match will be tough. The only match I'd say we have a slight advantage may be at six (with either Labrana or Rapolu). Everything else is pretty even. Turati lost to Faila last year. Hopefully Peyton's good form continues.
  13. On the Cracked Rackets podcast, Pepperdine head coach Per Nilsson was saying how much injuries his team has had (with concerns of not fielding a full team). Lexi has had shoulder inflammation for most of this season. She has been in and out playing one match in March and then suddenly playing again in R32 against Stanford (and being soundly beaten). That's the scary thing of Pepperdine. They're not at 100% and yet they're STILL in the finals. Both Ryngler and Iamachinke would be in the top 6 singles lineup if fully healthy.
  14. Pepperdine wins the doubles point, which they needed. I feel like UNC's line 5 and 6 are strong favorites in their matches.
  15. Guo and Park having not played at the regionals are now playing in the NCAAs
  16. If anything about reputation...there's an actual twitter thread going on right basically calling out the current Line 4 player at UF. One poster is showing multiple clips of him hooking different opponents. Present and past NCAA players have joined in.
  17. I really have to second that ? on that thread. I may be some years removed from undergrad but never got that sense about Texas. If anything it was the old Baylor coach Matt Knoll that had an extremely bad reputation in the state. May be from judging from the outside but Berque seems a bit docile and mild mannered.
  18. Rain delay for the UF and A&M match 😈 Awesome- keep delaying this match (even if it's just a short delay)
  19. Should also mention that OU and Texas Tech's head coaches also played for Texas
  20. Yep- check on TexAgs. Feelings for him have always been on and off due to his alum status. Some are convinced that he'd jump ship if he was ever offered the UT job.
  21. Best hope that UF and A&M match will drag out as long as possible Not sure how much is left in the tank for these players
  22. What a match! Huang stepped up big (lost 0 and 1 to the same opponent earlier in the year). Next opponent is either Florida or A&M. Have won against both teams this year.
  23. Spizzirri had break points in the second game of the third set. Alas he couldn't convert and lost six games in a row. Siem just lost his break Huang held and needs one more game!
