Rain is in the forecast in many parts of the country so matches are being cancelled or being moved indoors. Here is my preview of the bigger matches on Sunday (Texas A&M/Tulsa already cancelled due to rain).#23 Vanderbilt (8-2) at #25 Harvard (8-2)- 12pm est – Harvard Twitter & Video – Both teams have beaten Minnesota over the last 2 days with Vandy squeaking out a 4-3 win on Friday while Harvard throttled the Gophers pretty good on Saturday by a 5-2. Vandy is 7-2 in doubles while Harvard is 8-2 so it should be a pretty exciting start to the the match. I could see Harvard winning the match despite...

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....

It’s the weekend after the National Indoors and the start of the outdoor season though play in many parts of the country will still be indoors. Below are some of the bigger matches taking place this weekend with my thoughts on who I like in each one. #23 Vanderbilt (7-2) vs. #34 Minnesota (7-1) (@Harvard) – 1pm est – Vandy Twitter & Video – Vanderbilt has been involved in more close matches than just about anyone in the country with 5 of the Dores 9 matches finishing with a 4-3 final with Vandy winning 3 of those 5. This will be the 4th Big 10 school that Vandy has faced in the last month with...

The 4 team 4 match Pac 12/SEC Challenge came to a conclusion today in Athens and it was USC being crowned the unofficial champs by virtue of being the only team to finish the weekend undefeated. The Trojans got off to a quick start by going up early breaks on all 3 doubles courts and while Georgia was able to get it back on serve at #3 doubles USC wouldn’t let up at 1 or 2 and finished those 2 rather quickly to grab the 1-0 lead. USC came out strong in singles as well taking 3 of 4 1st sets (4 indoor courts being utilized) and while Georgia would battle back they just couldn’t keep up with the USC power. Yannick...
