Saturday was a day for some great tennis in the state of Texas with Ole Miss winning a thriller over Baylor in Waco while TCU and Cal won battles over Stanford and Texas in Austin.Ole Miss came into the match having only played 3 times all season while Baylor was playing its 5th match in the last 8 days. Baylor got off to a hot start in doubles and at one point led 5-1 at #1, 3-0 at #2, and 4-2 at #3 but unbelievably they’d only get 1 more game between the 3 courts combined. Julian Lenz and Will Little got that 1 game and finished off the match at #1 winning 6-2 but Ole Miss started chipping away at the deficit everywhere else. The Rebel’s #3 team...

#18 Stanford (5-1) vs. #2 TCU (2-0) – (Big 12/Pac-12 Challenge – Austin) – 12pm est/11am cst – Live Scoring – Stanford is coming off back-to-back shutouts of Santa Clara and San Diego State while TCU hasn’t played since squeaking out a 4-3 win over Oklahoma State during the Kick-Off Weekend two weeks ago.

TCU is looking to use this weekend to toughen up some more before going to Charlottesville for the NTIs.Doubles Records: Stanford 6-0, TCU...

Sunday was also a day of near misses as #28 Oklahoma State, #40 NC State, #44 Memphis and #49 Oregon each put a considerable amount of pressure on the #1 seeds in their respective regionals before coming up just short in the end.There were also several blowouts as Oklahoma, Texas A&M, Ohio State, UCLA, and South Florida each cruised in matches that took 2 hours or less.The biggest comeback of the day took place in Austin as the #4...

Six of the ITA Kickoff Regionals began today and all No.1 seeds cruised without much difficulty. Fresno State was the lone No.3 seed to earn a scalp into tomorrow’s final. UGA and UNC were the top 2 teams to play and routed Wyoming and Yale, respectively. The closest match of the weekend, ranking-wise, was No.18 Ohio State’s 4-3 thriller over No.19 Pepperdine. Tomorrow should bring some tighter matches and a few upsets. For my predictions for the entire weekend, check out my preview here.#4 Georgia Regional: UGA routs, Old Dominion battlesIt was a routine win for the Georgia Bulldogs, who claimed the victory over Wyoming before the No.6 match could...
