[perfectchaos007 6711]

3-3 right now. All coming down to a 3rd set in Peytons match. So far Both players traded breaks. On serve now

Texas def. OUsux 4-3!

 

We played like crap but still won. We are not an indoor team lol

[Aleemay 304]

Good road test for this heavy freshmen lineup. I expect Labrana to be playing singles next week.

ITA indoor draws came out. Texas has a good draw- drawing the lowest ranked team Northwestern in the opening round and also being on the opposite side of number 1 ranked UNC

Like the singles match up against NW but alas...the indoor courts against a Big 10 team always throws a wrench in things

[perfectchaos007 6711]

As always, If we win 2 out of 3 of our matches at the ITA indoors it will be a success. Draw is half the size it normally is due to Covid so it’s a big deal we even qualified 

[perfectchaos007 6711]

Stearns sat out doubles today which allowed Perez-Mur to see her first action of the season. Texas leads NW 1-0 after doubles

Perez Mur actually played in the OU match. Charlotte sat out then.

Texas wins 4-1. UCLA tomorrow

[perfectchaos007 6711]

Felt bad for Rapolu, who was at Match point when Stearns clinched. Would have been Rapolu's first win at line 5. 

[Aleemay 304]

Doubles Point Won! That's a big point. UCLA matches Texas pound for pound in the singles lineup (actually may be favored for the majority of the singles)

[Js1 85738]

Texas wins 4-2! 

[perfectchaos007 6711]

We are not an indoor team! UNC will be heavily favored in the finals because they are stacked lines 1-6 but I’m not counting us out. 

[perfectchaos007 6711]

We’re getting a late start but UCLA and Pepperdine finally finished so we’ll start our match shortly 

[perfectchaos007 6711]

Texas takes the doubles point!

UNC is stacked in singles, but if we can find away to win 3 out of 6, we’ll be ITA indoor tournament champs

Good to see the 3 line coming thru today! Anna and Fernanda probably could have won their match too if they were allowed to finish out (Fernanda got pegged in the face and she had to take an injury timeout)

Interesting what Joffe has done. Switched Lulu and Anna around likely cuz Anna hasn't been competitive in any of her indoor matches this weekend. Also pulled Rapolu out and moved Collins and Labrana up. Collins has a win against Makenna Jones in December.

Edited February 8, 2021 by Aleemay

[Js1 85738]

Collins won her match again. Lulu wasn’t that competitive. 

[perfectchaos007 6711]

I didn’t see what happened in Anna’s match. Opponent retired?

[Js1 85738]

Idk. It was stuck but now shows Anna winning 6-3, 7-5?

Nah immediately when Anna tied it at 5-5 the scoreboard immediately gave it to Texas

Bit preemptive. But Anna won the next two games 

But she pulled it out in the end. Wore her opponent's forehand down

Hopefully Labrana can bring us home 

[perfectchaos007 6711]

Labrana lost after being up a break in the third. All comes down to chavatipon who was up a break in the third but is now down a break. Not ideal

Would be fitting for this mostly miserable weekend of Texas sports 

[perfectchaos007 6711]

UNC completes the comeback and wins 4-3

[perfectchaos007 6711]

At least this collapse was for the ITA tournament and not for an NCAA title. What a frustrating loss though, knowing they had the #1 team on the ropes the entire night with chances to finish them off on multiple courts and we couldn’t finish

Won the doubles point against UCF. Pretty happy with how the team is playing with doubles this year. Should see no more mix and matching of the doubles lineups that we've been seeing the last 5 years in the middle of the season.

UCF next to Pepperdine is one of the best mid major teams in the nation. Excited to see what singles bring.

[perfectchaos007 6711]

5 of 6  first sets won by the Horns!

[Aleemay 304]

4-0 for the Horns and looks like the remaining matches were also about to be Horn victories too. A big win- ITA is still unsure whether to do computer rankings this season

[perfectchaos007 6711]

Texas def. Baylor 6-1. We are now 2-0 against Baylor this season. The 3rd time we play them will count as a conference match.

[perfectchaos007 6711]

Well, we now have one more post about them than wins. 

[perfectchaos007 6711]

Our morning match against TXST has been cancelled as I I thought it would be. We'll just be playing WVU, which is our conference opener. Never made sense to play a non-conference match the same day as a conference match (even if WVU is bad)

[perfectchaos007 6711]

OKST @ Texas tomorrow on LHN at 11am. OKST is probably the 3rd or 4th best team in the conference. Sucks that the first televised match of the season is on a weekday morning. I'll set my DVR.

4-1 win

[Aleemay 304]

OK State is also under ranked as they played the first part of their season with a bunch of players in quarantine

Ah that explains it. Was going to say they pushed us well for a 6-5 team.

We’re a women’s tennis school now. 

 

[perfectchaos007 6711]

5 of the 6 women in our singles lineup were freshmen. If these freshmen stick around for 3 more years we'll be a national title contender for the next few years.

Have we always been this good at tennis?

Since we stopped playing at the city park and built new digs that we had to rebuild and still managed to fuck it up.

Back when Jeff Moore was the tennis coach in the 90s and early 2000s, Texas was pretty much right up there. Six straight Big 12 titles, Two national champs, Two national runner ups, etc.

Patty Fendick Mccain would have a top 10 team every 4-5 years or so (fun fact her daughter is on the UTSA team Texas beat this year).....

Georgia might be just as good as we are. Sucks that we’ll have to go through both them and UNC for the title. We have the capability though 

[perfectchaos007 6711]

We play #7 Baylor tomorrow for the third time this season. This one counts as a conference match though. This match is the defacto Big 12 regular season championship.

[perfectchaos007 6711]

Texas takes the doubles point! When Chavatipon didn't play yesterday against Rice, I assumed it was a coaches decision to rest her. She's still not in the lineup today so she's either injured or has covid. Labrana and Rapolu will both play singles
