Yay Lu beat Amy Frazier and the Aggies win 6-1 against a good Pepperdine team. Gig'em!

Gosh, I was really nervous in the beginning of the match today but ...

Way to go, Ags !!!!!!

Nice win against a good team.

We will need to bring it against Texas on Sunday. I fully expect Joffe to change up their lineup to try and create matchup advantages.

In my humble opinion, after today, I think Lexington stays in the lineup. She is consistent and solid and understands tennis and the court. She will lose some matches to more senior players, but she gives us a chance in every match at line 6.

Great focus and comeback by Mary on line 1. She likes to spot her opponents 5-1 leads it seems, and the accepts the challenge and just decides to steamroll them. I believe she won 12 games in a row. Mary did what Mary does.

Nicole played focused tennis when she needed to, but it wasn't her best match by far. Tbh, she looked bored. Lol. I love her game though and if you're a fan of no fear tennis, you're a fan of Nicole.

Mia - super solid; great serve, forehand and backhand popping. Lost her way a bit in the second but was never out of it. Really good win for her.

Lu - couldn't figure out how to stay on top of the backboard she played. These types of players are so frustrating to play against. Down 4-2 in the 3rd set super tiebreak, she just started putting a little more on the ball in a controlled manner to win 8 points in a row. I don't believe we've seen Lu's best tennis yet (not even close). She thrives in tight situations and gets better as the season progresses.

Daria - after a great weekend indoors, she was kind of all over the place today. At one point she had an overhead and instead hit a swinging forehand volley 10 feet over the baseline. She is a great rally ball practice player right now bc she can pound the middle of the court. She just wasn't consistent enough to have a chance today. If you watched her match, although she played a solid player, Harmon basically just waited for Daria to miss. I'd like to see her prepare for the ball earlier on both sides of the court. She's still messing with he racquet during her backswing. Too many variables in her groundstrokes.

Doubles looked good. Impressed with the pairings at lines 1 and 3. Line 2 is shaky currently. Almost came back after being down 5-2 though so we can take that as a positive.

Overall, good win. Must be better to beat Texas in Austin, and I have no doubts they will be.

Gig'em!

Mary's WTA rank has risen to 300. She's going to have to go down to Spring tomorrow to clear that mess up.

Jennifer starts the action off in Spring on Court 1 at 10:00 a.m. this morning against WTA 480 Martina Okalova (Carson and Mia both beat her in Canada over the summer).

Carson gets the week off with a new career high of 207.

Where in Spring are they playing?

Giammalva Elite Academy
16400 Sir William Dr, Spring, TX 77379

Good deal; thx!

Can't seem to get the draw to open/download. Any others with luck?

the qualifying draw is up but the main draw isn't posted yet. that won't be posted till tomorrow or the next day

Thanks for the update on Jennifer.

Good look with the fickle sites. It really sucks when a site does not work even with that many browsers!

What's going on with W50 Spring? I do not see any results and assuming may have been postponed a bit because of weather. Nothing on the Academy's site, either.

Just assuming it is weather related. It's rained quite a bit down here (off and on).

Stream is working and looks like they are playing.

Thanks for the replies! Just checked a few minutes ago and when I got to the video Mary just walked up with her gear. Will be starting in a few minutes. What timing!

Mary was down 0-3, first two games not competitive at all, but just tied it at 3-3.

Mary wins first set, 6-4. Really cold and windy there.

Mary up 2-0 in second set.

Mary up 4-0 in second set.

Mary advances 6-4, 6-0. Good win over #171.

She was really, really good in the second set !!! Put a few into the net and missed several 'light touch' shots but overall was great !! Sure did get her gear together and off the court quickly afterwards and I would have done the same !!

"... her first career ranked victory"

It is just the start of her Aggie career - we can look forward to many more ranked victories!
