Thornqvist did a short interview on the local espn radio station today. Highlighted winning a championship at home and leaving the program in a good place. Aknowledged that parts of the games have changed... specifically mentioning social media.

"In the future....would you think about coaching again?...."
"Well, never say never, but, do I see myself competing against the gators at some point? Never, no."

So he's definitely going to be coaching against the gators soon. Stanford?

Spring schedule is out. Preseason is all at home except Indoor Championships and Hawai'i Invitational.

Fitting. Got GA last SEC match.

I hate that we play at Texas. it's a little disappointing that A&M is having less home games vs texas that no thought we would have. I was hoping for 60% home hosting.

I like the pepperdine scheduling. last years' semifinalist which will prove to always be a good team. plus hosting them is great! Also revenge time against San Diego!

I heard Mark say on a radio interview over the weekend that several teams recently backed out and he was still trying to add some matches.

Lulu comes back from 2-4 in the second set to win in Edmond. She will have to play doubles tomorrow with some girl she's never competed with named Mary Stoiana. Is that good? She sounds good. They'll have to be good when they square off against a pair that has already won two W75 tournaments since June.

In Edmond (OK) first round action, Mary wins in straight sets whilst Lulu falls in straight sets. Historical note, Mary's opponent was Allie Kiick, the daughter of famous running back Jim Kiick. He was a member of the undefeated 1972 Miami Dolphins team and was on two Super Bowl winning teams. Her mother was a professional softball player. I did not realize this when I first started watching but had to look her up because the name is famous - only then did I find out her history!

Mary and Lulu are scheduled to play a doubles match today.

In Edmonton (Canada) Mia falls in three sets in the first round. She is from Edmonton and probably had family and friends in attendence so makes it tougher.

Carson is playing a first round match as I type this, at W35 Bakersfield (CA). Watching it online. She currently leads 4-2 in the first set.

He beat Tiafoe

Lulu and Mary take the first set in doubles 6-0. watching Lulu and Mary play doubles together is really fun. They are both fearless at the net and have the game to back it up. Might be my new favorite doubles pair. I know M&M will be hard to break up and they're also incredible together, but this just seems to be something special.

They just took the second set 6-1 to win the match.

I agree, they looked great together. I was also thinking about M&M and wondering if we might see M&L in the future.

All five aggie players are in the main draw for the ITA Texas Regional in Fort Worth. Nicole seeded #1 and Jeanette #3. Play will begin on Friday for the aggies in both singles and doubles.

Mia and Arsenault keep setting Canada on fire! 9-1 this year and play Crawley + Boulais late, late, late tonight. Hopefully they can keep this up until they have to take a sabbatical for spring season.

Mary beats Sophie Chang ( the girls who beat Lulu) 6-4, 6-2.

That is a great win. They have a similar UTR.

We get our 1st Mary vs Dasha match of the season today. They play at 3:30 cst in the Edmonton 75k QF. While it's not officially a college match it's bound to be an incredible match.

Thanks for the time on Mary's matchup, I appreciate it!

Do you have any links to allow me to watch the Ags playing in Ft. Worth, starting today? Daria and Liz are supposed to have started at 8:00 this morning but I cannot find a site to watch the match (or the later ones). Heck, I do not even have a link to live updates, much less video.

Thanks!

This may work

Thanks for the quick response, I appreciate it!

I have watched a few matches on playsight in the last few months but did not care for it. For one, they do not show the score during matches. The video and audio are pretty good but no score sucks. Perhaps I am missing an option or something? I DID sign up for it after I wrote my earlier comment to see if a user got 'more' but no luck. Unfortunately, a lot of schools have signed up for it and it is the only way to watch some matches.

So, for the matches at TCU I will just have to be content with seeing final scores after matches. It's the site listed at 12thman.com:

https://colleges.wearecollegetennis.com/Competitions/ITA/Tournaments/draws/437AB70E-8F78-4844-ACDC-BF954F44B8E3

Thanks again for the quick response and the link!

playsight is usually the best option for non televised tennis. The reason there isn't scoring is because it depends on someone on court to keep score. There's not that at this regional, there's just not enough ITA officials. video wise I prefer it over the itf live-stream, but because there's always an official in pro matches there's always live scoring.

Jennette and lexington take to court 1 in doubles.

Thanks for the info, I always appreciate it.

I have the Jennette and Lexington match on screen now and the times from the above linked website.

Put simply, I have to take what I can get, right?

These smu coaches have no concept of a no-huddle offense.

How is Lexington's game translating to doubles?

Mary playing now. Is on Cracked Raquents although, as usual, showing more than there match.



They are showing QF, SF and F of the tournament.

Mary up an early break. Love watching her play!

Mary wins the first set 6-4

I'm going to throw this out there…Lopata might be the best player on Georgia's roster this year. If she's playing anything lower than line 2 I'd consider that a total stack. Georgia will be VERY dangerous this year. As will we. As will tu.

i agree with everything here. I don't think anybody challenged the lopata spot last year because she never played higher than 4 at any time really and didn't make any deep runs in college tournaments, but she should be playing 1/2 for them. I can see challenges being made this year regarding the lineup they put out there if they try anything funky.

And Stanford. Those are the four and then it drops off. Their new freshman will likely play #1 and will be one of the best players in college tennis.

I don't think they will stack and will play her top 2. She's just improved like crazy.
