  1. Hi UT Tennis Fan, I hope you had a great week! We play our first SEC Conference match tomorrow (Saturday) at 1 pm, against Vanderbilt at the Weller Indoor Tennis Center. Vanderbilt has a strong team, and we expect a very good match. Here is a full preview. We had over 600 fans last time we played at Weller (against TCU), and it was a big boost to our team. If you are in town, I hope you will plan on being there again! If you can't make it, you will be able to follow along via the live scoring and video streaming links on the preview. After the Vanderbilt match, we are expecting the weather to warm up quickly. So it looks like a sure thing that we will be back outside at the Texas Tennis Center to take on Ole Miss on Monday at 1 pm. I realize that is a tough time, but we encourage you to come out to support if you can. Sincerely, Bruce Berque
  2. Is her opponent ranked 100? If so, good for Char and Texas!
  3. Very nice to see Charlotte in the line up and she seems to be doing well by just looking at the scores. I was debating about going.
  4. Hi UT Tennis Fan, I hope you are staying warm! We just got back from The National Indoor Championships, and were looking forward to moving on to our outdoor season, but a cold snap has slammed Austin, and it looks like our 1 pm Saturday match vs Vanderbilt will be inside at the Weller Indoor Tennis Center. That match will be our first SEC Conference dual match, and we are hoping for another great crowd to help us start conference play on a positive note! The good news it that the weather is supposed to warm back up on Sunday, and it should be very nice for our 1 pm Monday match with Ole Miss (outdoors at the Texas Tennis Center). We realize that 1 pm on Monday is not an ideal time for many of our fans, but the SEC has assigned us this time, so we really do not have a say in the matter. As you may know, we wrapped up a long weekend in Dallas with 4-1 wins over #14 Texas A&M (recap) and #5 Virginia (recap), before dropping a nail biter to #1 Wake Forest. For all the details of our semifinal match please click on this recap. Timo Legout, on the strength of his outstanding play at #1 singles, has been named SEC Men's Tennis Athlete of the Week! The all tournament team should be released tomorrow, but I expect that Timo, Pierre-Yves Bailly, and Oliver Ojakaar (all undefeated in singles) will be recognized. I'll be in touch again just before the Vanderbilt match with a final preview. Until then, have a great rest of your week, and Hook'em! Sincerely, Bruce Berque
  5. Oliver has been very impressive in the 1st sets of play but has a mental lapse in the 2nd? Maybe have him switch with Jonah.
  6. Thx! It was interesting on how many times the up ref (?) was also overruled when watching PYs match yesterday.
  7. I'm all for the electric line calling! How many over rules do the players get til they lose a point? How many challenges are allowed?
  8. I'm on the fence in attending on Monday. I work plus I'll be driving in from Grapevine. I was thinking of going Tuesday if Texas makes it but with the weather forecast being what it is, I might be stuck at home watching it online on YouTube. I do plan on attending the TCU match in Ft Worth and the NCAAs in Waco!
  9. That sure was a nail biter! I got tired of hearing "Let's go Wahoos." Nice of Texas to quiet that down. Btw, SMU has a nice venue. Glad I attended.
  10. Definitely give Pierre a shot at line 2. He's been doing great these past few matches. It was a fun environment being there today. Some matches were closer than I would have liked them to be. A&M should be stronger once their transfers get cleared to play, according to my brother.
  11. Are there no more General Admissions tickets available for Friday night at the mlb.tickets.com website? I'm getting "This event is not on sale." However, Saturday, Sunday, and the tournament pass are still available.
  12. The promotions and giveaways plus the theme nights and community nights were published today. No UT promotions so I'm hoping it gets added in the future. Got to say, I want a jersey night like the other schools that are scheduled.
  13. Texas gets the #3 seed and plays #6 seed A&M on Friday at SMU in the NCAA Indoor Championships. These seeds are just for the 1 side of the bracket.
  14. Hi UT Tennis Fan, In front of over 600 people at the Weller Indoor Tennis Center last night, we defeated TCU by the score of 4-1 in a rematch of last season's national championship After a dramatic comeback win in doubles, we got off to a quick start in singles and maintained our edge all the way through. At the time of the clinch we had an early lead in the 3rd set at #5 singles, and were up 5-0 in the first set at #6 singles. For a detailed recap of the big win over TCU, please click on this press release. Next up for us is a trip up to Dallas for the National Team Indoor Championship, which begins on Friday. I will be back in touch with more details once the draw and schedule are released. Thanks for all of your suppor!. Enjoy your Superbowl Sunday! Hook'em! Sincerely, Bruce Berque
  15. Just realizing that Texas plays 5 Freshmen in doubles.
  16. Texas has the 2nd ranked 2025 recruiting class! Elizabeth Ionescu is the 7th ranked player in the class of '26 but will enroll early to play in the Spring of '26. Christasha McNeil is the 8th ranked player in the class of '25.
  17. I noticed that the #1 ranked 2026 player, Iva Jovic, is now following the TX Women's Tennis instagram page and she gave a great reaction to Keaton Hance's recent Tx commitment. Sounds very promising!
  18. Off topic.... Ex-Texas player, Lulu Sun, signs a sponsorship with Fila! https://www.si.com/onsi/serve/style/fila-announces-sponsorship-of-wta-star-lulu-sun
  19. Hi UT Tennis Fan, Happy New Year! Our team is back on campus, and we started training together a few days ago. I have been very happy to see that everyone came back in good health, in good shape, and in good tennis form. We are excited that two new players are joining us as freshmen this semester, Sebastian Eriksson (Sweden) and Oliver Ojakaar (Estonia). They are both outstanding players, and great fits with our culture. Although we lost 6 seniors to graduation and 1 to professional tennis from last year's team, we have been ranked the #1 ranked team in the country in the preseason poll. This is now the 4th season out of the last 7 that we have risen to the top spot in the rankings. While we recognize that it is the journey and where we finish that are more important than where we start, it is still nice recognition for the program. Our dual match season opens this weekend with matches against Lamar (1 pm on Saturday) and Abilene Christian (11 am on Sunday). Although we have had a cold snap the last few days, the weather should be nice this weekend, and we expect both matches to be outside at the Texas Tennis Center. Our 3rd match of the season will be on Wednesday, January 15 at 4pm against UTRGV. All matches will be streamed live, and you can find the links here. In news of our recent graduates, Eliot Spizzirri won his first tournament of 2025, picking up the doubles title at the $150k Challenger in Canberra, Australia. This week he picked up a singles win over #205 Alexander Blockx in the first round of The Australian Open qualifying. Micah Braswell also picked up a good win yesterday at a Challenger in Portugal, taking out #243 Beibit Zhukayev. Cleeve Harper is in the 2nd round of doubles in Portugal, and progressing fast through the doubles rankings. Hope to see you at the courts this weekend. Hook'em! Sincerely, Bruce Berque
  20. Surprised to see Texas ahead of A&M when A&M is ranked higher in the preseason rankings.
  21. Preseason #7! Unsure if this included Maya participating this Spring or not.
  22. Preseason #1 ranking!
