  1. Nice that they got to do it for all of the 2022 team. I don't think there's a pic with all of the 2021 championship team. Fortunately there's $25K going on in Austin that Stearns, the Zamarripa twins, and Kylie Collins are in town for. Fogelman is in the photo too. Speaking of the $25K, I wonder if any of the wild cards (in both qualifying and main draws) not used on current Texas player signify a potential recruit? Also, Austin was selected to host a WTA 250 event next year on the last week of February. Will expect several of the players to get wild cards into that draw.
  2. https://www.usopen.org/en_US/video/2022-09-05/16624192374914658.html?cid=2022oneboxUSA_00000000_phto_chothr_ctwbtr_endcid Literally the highlights only show Glasspool winning one point (match point); everything else was focused on Kyrgios 🙄
  3. He was paired with Jaeda Daniel who played at NC State. Also won the NCAA doubles but partner was British and ex TTU player Nell Miller.
  4. Gosh I just can't see that ever happening. There were less than a dozen boys prep clubs in the state 15 years ago. Don't know what it's like right now. Would take a huge grassroot movement to make it a UIL sport. There are some private schools in Texas that sponsor the sport in the Southwest Preparatory Conference.
  5. https://texassports.com/news/2008/4/20/042008aaa_133.aspx Texas has a bit of history back when beach was an informal invitational tournament. Excited to see the school go after an NCAA title!
  6. I'm hoping Yves Bially's brother is interested, although I think he may go the pro route
  7. Stephens loses four straight games and crashes out
  8. Stearns- Joffe has known since before the semester Based on this article, it seems like the Zamarripa twins decided to go pro about a month ago. https://napavalleyregister.com/sports/womens-tennis-st-helenas-zamarripa-twins-help-texas-win-ncaa-title-go-pro/article_937a6c9a-e43b-11ec-adc5-4b4b32a07bee.html
  9. Yep- Could be the line one player for next year. I'm wondering how many years of eligibility she has. I know it gets funky with the Isrealis as they do mandatory military service. Other one is Nicole Rivkin of Germany (significant wins include Sahdiieva and Malm at Baylor, Barnett ex All Big 10 member at Northwestern, and Costoulos current top 5 Junior player)
  10. @perfectchaos007 Remember when we were debating several years ago if Marlee would follow in her sister's footsteps to the Forty Acres? Glad to see her come to UT and will provide some leadership for the team. Also am hearing Texas is signing two Nicole(s)- one who has wins against Lulu Sun and Anna Turati on the ITF circuit.
  11. Hate to be bearers of more bad news but... Interesting that Collins transferred. Wished her the best but there's a lot of work to be done in Baton Rouge. The Sells left the program in bad shape. Trust in Joffe- he's shown that he can consistently produce results.
  12. Lulu wins! Into the second round qualies.
  13. Kylie and Peyton beat the Zamarripa twins in the final of a 25k. Lulu Sun is in the qualies of Wimbledon and will play her first match tomorrow. Can't recall the last time a Longhorn was in a grand slam women's singles draw (either qualy or main).
  14. Joffe will be looking for a new assistant coach.
  15. I'd argue Blaire Luna was a 'late bloomer' when she came to Texas. If my memory serves me correct, Texas was her only power 5 offer. I know there were many that thought Kim Bruins was the better of the two pitchers when they enrolled. Blaire just happened to have immediate success as a freshman.
  16. Interested to see what Joffe does with Peyton's scholarship- get a transfer, sign an international recruit, or convince someone to graduate early (which I think is least likely) Should balance out the scholarship distribution which was looking odd at 0-0-4-4 this year Best wishes Peyton!
  17. If you're going to count those, have to also mention the individual winners in Swimming (Drew Kibler, 400 relay, 800 relay) and Track (Men's Distance Medley Relay) too.
  18. I'd argue Texas should add women's gymnastics. At the junior levels, Texas is a hotbed and there's so many elite clubs in the state (WOGA, Stars, Metroplex, World Champion Centre, Texas Dreams, etc.). Also gymnastics is huge in the SEC (I'm thinking about the sell out crowds at LSU and Georgia).
  19. https://tenniskalamazoo.blogspot.com/2022/05/champaign-dreams-become-reality-for.html Stearns, who won the team title last year playing No. 1 as a freshman, said she will make her decision about returning to Texas or turning pro in the next week or two, long before she'll be playing in the US Open as a wild card recipient. I'm 99.99% certain Stearns will go pro. Along with the US Open main draw wildcard, USTA will probably give her many wildcards to the warm up WTA events (San Jose or Washington DC, Cincinnati, Cleveland). Also likely to get a wildcard into the doubles draw too. Can easily get $100,000 in prize money. Too many opportunities to pass up.

    Simple math now- First 8 needs to win and Texas will get the 'ship

    Fours get third place but most importantly ahead of Stanford and Washington
  23. Should be a big recruiting tool in the transfer portal for Berque...came to Texas and became a national champ!
  24. See you in the US Open, Peyton!!!
  25. Czech also deserves some credit! Her playing a complete game Friday meant MW could squeeze as much as he could out of Dolcini
