Savannah Broadus wins her match 6-3, 7-6.

Mary will once again follow Michael Zheng (on Court 4). Zheng's match should start soon.

I do not know the overall standings at this point but I think the USA has lost only one match (Honer, I think).

Note: the "lady that is enrolled at a school in austin" just defeated the girl Mary had a tough time with yesterday 6-3, 6-1.

Schedule has been changed, looks like it will be Honer instead of Mary playing the next match. She is warming up now.

Honer just dropped her second match, this time to the girl from Britain.

6-1, 3-6, 8-10

Schedule has a men's double match up next, then women's doubles with Mary/Honer. But the schedule has changed before so ...

The men's doubles will probably clinch the match here, meaning Mary won't even play today.

I do not know the standings but you are probably right since the video for court 4 is blank and has been for awhile now.

Great job, USA !!

Looks like Lexington is staying in Florida for a while. W50 Tampa qualifying starts tomorrow with plenty of college players representing LSU, Georgia, UCLA and Ohio State among them.


Nope. I was wrong, but Katya is playing.

Checking the news pages at 12thman.com just now (softball, tennis, golf and volleyball) and was surprised to find that there is a press release on the tennis page about this past weekend's tournament in France. No mention of the tournament until now but better some than none!

WTAW published the same press release on their site.

W50 Tampa finally made the right choice. Lexington will play doubles today with Vandy signee Mia Yamakita, third match on court 4.

Tomorrow Lex will play in the singles main draw against 19 year old Canadian Kayla Cross. (Have we been recruiting her, and if not why not?)

Kayla Cross signed with Vandy 2 years ago and was set to be a freshman lat year. She decided to forgo a college career and turn pro. She would have been a top player in the SEC as a freshman. She is in a similar situation as Liv Hovde but Liv didn't sign with anyone at all.

Is there a men's forum? Wondering what happened. Ofek Shimanov was originally committed to Texas A&M and I just saw that he signed with SMU instead.

And we all are sad about this. Bummer.

There has been a thread for men's tennis in the past, not sure if anyone ever started one for this year.

They need to recruit better or the team is gonna get passed over quickly in the SEC. I personally think that our coaches seats will be blazing hot if they don't win more this year. The recruiting hasn't been up to par of our SEC and in-state opponents, in my opinion.

if i remember correctly, Denton signed a contract extension to like 2026 two years ago. I don't think Trev Albert's will fire a mediocre tennis coach with 1 year left. Especially one like denton who has been here for so long. I personally think Kevin O'Shea needs to go but Denton won't do that. The worst thing that could happen is Denton retires after his contract is over and Alberts promotes O'shea

Recruiting has been hard to watch. We can't even convince top overseas players to join us. The one stud we signed supposedly turned pro instead. This years team is still full of 2-3-4s. I except a middle to bottom of the pack finish. Denton is part of the legacy coaches here(G, Blair, Evans, Henry,etc). Something isn't clicking with recruiting.

I like Steve, he has always been nothing but kind to me. The players like him, I know that for a fact.

However, it may be time for a change if this year isn't a home run. We need new blood. We need someone that recruits are excited to play for. We also need new facilities that will attract those kids.

There's a decent chance Trev isn't around then. Our AD job is a resume line these days.

I admit I don't pay near as much attention to the men, but watching Hady win the challenger on Sunday afternoon was perfect for my Aggie sports-weary heart.

I will say last year the men over preformed their expected season. To host the first two rounds and be seeded in the NCAA tournament was well above what they were expected to do. However that does not mean that they met the standard that is expected here. I think Trev Alberts sees what Mark has done and is doing and says there is no reason for the men to not be at that same level and doesn't retain any of the current staff once Denton's contract is up.

New ITA individual rankings are out, but what's the point with so many players pretty much taking the entire fall off like Mia and Lulu?
4 Mary
15 Nicole
102 Daria (ain't that some horse ****!)

70 Daria + Lexington

Too be fair, the rankings are completely computerized. It only takes into account the best wins from ITA/NCAA events. Mia and Lulu only played All-Americans and didn't really even have a good tournament. Daria is a positive out of these rankings. Nicole is about right, i see her in the 10-15 range (and we don't really need her to be higher). Lulu and Mia are obviously in the 2nd tier of college players but their pro events prevented them from being ranked, which they really don't care about, they want to win on the court and set themselves up to do that more

Court just watered for Lex's match. Link here:

Lex and partner take first set 6-1. Both playing well, especially at the net. But first serves are average.

Lex and partner take second set 6-0 to win the match. Played well but their opponents had a bad match. Lex's serve was off today, had three double faults and did not get very many first serves in.

But both made some really good shots, really accurate shots.

Sorry this is late. Lex made the finals in a USTA tournament in Tampa last week on these same courts (how she got the wildcard).

Better late than never and good for her!

ITF live scores page shows her match today vs Kayla Cross starting at 10:00 'local time'. Assuming means Florida so 9:00 CST where I am. We'll see. I have the video page up, live updates page up, etc. and keeping an eye on them so I will catch it either way.

BTHO Cross !!

A couple of players on the court warming up. Has CRO/REE on the score thingy and I 'think' it is Lex on the far court but video is not too clear so not sure. No one else around like crew, chair ump, etc. so must be some extracurricular early warming up.

I do not know what Kayla Cross looks like but perhaps it is Lex's doubles partner getting in some early strokes with her.

After falling behinid 0-2 Lex is now even at 2-2.

Only won one point in the first two games. Shots falling 'just out'.

Changed in the third game, now falling 'just in'. First serve is better than yesterday.

C'mon, Lex !!!
