    That's the way women normally are on the half pipe On the broadcast, it was mentioned how great the facility was

    Playing against Missouri tomorrow indoors. Missouri is constantly in the bottom of the SEC but has shown that they can beat top 30 teams in the past. Still weak enough that hopefully the Zamarripa twins can get some court time.

    Playing Baylor today in non conference match, Baylor has had a lukewarm year so far. Did not make it out of their ITA regional as host losing to USC. Also had a really bad loss against unranked BYU. Like Texas, Baylor's lineup is freshmen heavy

    Larson is a great all around player but if you're talking about a pure hitting ability- I wouldn't even put her into top 5 of American history. Larson never fit into the OH1 role as a national team player. In the early years, it was Logan Tom and once Logan Tom retired, the role was given to Kim Hill.

    For the second assessment, on paper I'd argue last year's team was better. Tijana, Lulu, Anna and Marta are the four who have left the team from last year. Tijana and Marta were no slouch in doubles (Tijana was actually nationally ranked in doubles before COVID hit). Anna is Anna. Additionally it can't be understated what a huge recruit Lulu was to the program. She is hands down on paper the most accomplished recruit Texas has ever had in the Joffe era and probably his whole coaching career. Had the highest ITF junior ranking (somewhere in top 15). She not only played in all four junior grand slams but also had wins at each of those tournaments. To put it into perspective, Bianca Turati had 0 wins at the grand slams as a junior player.

    Hook 'em! Roster is out and Lulu is not on it. But she is in the picture and signed up to play the ITF tournament in Fort Worth later this month. Labrana is also on the roster despite being honored at senior day last spring.

    Spizziri just won!

    Turati won the tournament in Austria 2021-2022 schedule is out! Judging by the fact that there's so many pro tournaments on the schedule in the fall, my guess is that Peyton and Lulu will come back for at least the fall semester and then determine after that whether or not to go pro

    Lulu fell a bit short today in the finals of the 25K in Spain. Lost to her former compatriot Masarova (former number 2 junior in the world). Here's Lulu's semifinal match against Lazaro (two time All American when she played in the NCAAs). Lulu beat her convincingly 2 and 2.

    Former Longhorn Lloyd Glasspool is now in the third round of men's doubles Recently broke the top 100 in doubles

    Also former player Sarah Lancaster is doing track as an amateur and has qualified for the Olympic Trials! https://www.runnersworld.com/runners-stories/a36622021/sarah-lancaster-olympic-track-trials/ Lancaster was your essential player at the bottom of the lineup. I remember her being a backboard when she played.

    It's been less than one month but some impressive results on the summer circuit- Kylie beat Montserrat Gonzalez (former top 200 player) Lulu beat Whitney Osuigwe (formerly ranked 105, still ranked in the 200s) Charlotte beat two former All Americans, Shapatava (former top 200) and the number one recruit in this year's class. Some of these opponents haven't had impressive results recently; it's still a feat to beat these pro players who have made Grand Slam Main Draws before If these results get TOO impressive, then Texas may be at risk for half the team turning pro early lol

    Peyton gave an excellent interview right after the QFs. Talked about her pre college experiences (wished she could have gone to high school), what improvements she has made to her game, Joffe helping her mental games, favorite Austin restaurants... Even if she turns pro, I think Texas is in good hands. Additionally, the Big 12 Player of the Year from OK State is transferring. One of Iowa State's player is doing an inter conference transfer to WVU. And Baylor is also losing a player to the transfer portal.

    As if there was nothing else to motivate the Tar Heels- US Open wildcard on the line for Jones and Scotty

    Collins and Sun wins 0 and 1 against Morra and Daavettila of UNC. Gets All American Honors. Wear and tear of the past week must be taking its toll. Collins seemed like the only one of the four playing at 100% her level. Sun was walking into her shots and spinning her serve in (I'm guessing full body cramping?). Collins was amazing!

    Anna lost- end of a great career for the Turatis! Peyton is on to the next round.
  17. Aleemay
    Yeah- I was also shocked to see when Lulu came to Texas. Out of everyone on the roster, she was probably the most suited for the pro circuit. Extremely well known to tennisforum. Junior slam doubles finalist and number 13 Junior ranking. Had considerable pro success- won 2 15K and had multiple semis in the 25k. She also has the option to represent either Switzerland and New Zealand, two countries known to provide generous support to their tennis athletes. (I also my be wrong but someone on tennisforum was saying she's from a well off family) Joffe either recruited her really hard or she really wanted to have the college experience. I think she'll stays unless she starts winning multiple 25k's over the summer and fall.
  18. Aleemay
    Yep... This champ was won by this current team but huge props to all the players who stayed through the mess (Bree, Neda, etc.), the players who bought into Joffe's vision when there was nothing (Bianca, Poluta, Crovetti, etc.) and the former assistant coaches (Dolehide, Shaimaa). They laid the foundation for this team.
  19. Aleemay
    NATIONAL CHAMPS!!! From the depths of 2015 til now! Give Joffe both a raise and extension!!!!
  20. Aleemay
    Held!!!
  21. Aleemay
    Lulu has lost 7 points in a row or something like that. Needs to stop the bleeding!
  22. Aleemay
    Break! Come on Lulu!!!

    To second how good Marta is, she beat the second best player on the Baylor in the fall season. A shame half of her college career was COVID and ACL injury. UNC losing yesterday was a massive disappointment for them. To be fair, they were under massive pressure- anything less than a championship would have been considered an underachievement. Today's match will be tough. The only match I'd say we have a slight advantage may be at six (with either Labrana or Rapolu). Everything else is pretty even. Turati lost to Faila last year. Hopefully Peyton's good form continues.

    On the Cracked Rackets podcast, Pepperdine head coach Per Nilsson was saying how much injuries his team has had (with concerns of not fielding a full team). Lexi has had shoulder inflammation for most of this season. She has been in and out playing one match in March and then suddenly playing again in R32 against Stanford (and being soundly beaten). That's the scary thing of Pepperdine. They're not at 100% and yet they're STILL in the finals. Both Ryngler and Iamachinke would be in the top 6 singles lineup if fully healthy.

    Pepperdine wins the doubles point, which they needed. I feel like UNC's line 5 and 6 are strong favorites in their matches.
