I looked over 1-10 and 11-15 a few days ago so today I’ll look at the teams that finished the year ranked 16-20.The new recruits section is from tennisrecruiting.net and from school releases so its possible some of those guys may not end up where they are currently showing. Several teams will probably have some guys coming in from outside the U.S. so we probably won’t know any names until the schools put out a release or we see the name on the roster in August or January. BC=Blue Chip, 5*=5 star, etc.I’m sure we’ll also see some guys transfer as we do every year. We probably won’t know those until they show up on a new roster in...

Saturday was another great day of college tennis action with more than 2000 fans filling the stands in Fort Worth for the TCU/Texas match. TCU hadn’t beaten Texas since 1996 but that slump came to an end as TCU got it done 4-1. TCU started off by taking the doubles point with a 6-1 win at #2 (Trevor Johnson & Cameron Norrie) and 7-6(4) win at #3 (Guillermo Nuez & Hudson Blake) . It looked like TCU would take the point a bit easier but Texas’s #1 team of Soren Hess-Olesen and Lloyd Glasspool came back from 5-3 down to win 7-6(5) which made the match at #3 the decider. TCU kept the momentum flowing in singles by taking 4 opening...

Just when we thought the weekend couldn’t get any crazier #23 Texas Tech pulled off a 4-3 stunning upset over seemingly unstoppable #1 Oklahoma. Texas Tech was just 7-9 in doubles coming in but they managed to take the point over Oklahoma by winning 6-3 at #3 doubles and 7-6(6) at #1. Oklahoma was 12-10 in doubles coming in but time and time again they overcame the early deficit to come back and win – not today. (TT’s live scoring & recap showed Nick Papac with Spencer Papa at #3 dubs but it was Florin Bragusi who partnered with Papa).Oklahoma would take the opening set at 1, 2, 4, and 6 singles while Texas Tech took the...

The match between #1 Oklahoma and #2 Baylor had a ton of hype coming in and boy did those 2 teams deliver a classic. A huge crowd of just under 1500 was on hand in Waco along with many more following along at home via the Baylor blog and live scoreboard.The first surprise of the day came when the doubles lineups were announced. According to Kim Gorum, who was running Baylor’s terrific blog, Baylor’s doubles lineups were challenged earlier in the week by the opposing coaches in the Big 12. The coaches didn’t like the fact that Baylor’s #1 team had a record of 5-4 while it’s #2 and #3 teams were a combined 26-3. The challenge...
