What a day of tennis in Waco – 2 semifinal matches played simultaneously on adjacent courts with both coming down to a 3rd set tiebreak to decide it and they both finished within seconds of each other. It’s too bad those FoxSports cameras weren’t in operation today because it was rough trying to watch the conclusion of the Baylor/TCU match due to the streaming video being reduced to freeze-frame video. As a side note, for those that were wondering, it was confirmed today by Baylor that PlaySight will be installing new HD cameras with sound in time for the NCAAs so the viewing public won’t have to be subjected to any more of the...

Another action packed day of college tennis is in the books and it was the ACC giving us the 2 best matches of the day as Georgia Tech and North Carolina both pulled out 4-3 thrillers. I’m big fan of the schools that take the time to put an audio or video interview out on twitter shortly after the match finished. TCU has done a great job all year getting a 30-second interview with David Roditi out on twitter and the last few days Georgia Tech has done the same with Kenny Thorne. It’s always better to hear the comments from someone as opposed to reading them. I’m also a fan of school’s posting video clips of match...

Most of the conference tournaments have reached the quarterfinals so its time for the rubber to hit the road as the higher seeds start to face a little heat. Below I’ll take a look at the matches in the ACC, Big 12, Pac 12, and Big 10. I’m not seeing any upsets in these 4 conferences although the match between Georgia Tech and Virginia Tech could be very, very close. The Mountain West Network has wall-to-wall coverage of every match on both the men’s and women’s side and I must say that I’ve been very impressed with the production they’ve put out so far. If you haven’t checked it out yet make sure you do...
