The departure of Kylie is disappointing, but not the end of the world. Last year, we lost 2 of our top 3 singles players in the lineup to graduation/pros and were able to repeat as champs. We're in the same situation going into next season. Next year's team still looks solid as long as no one else leaves. 

1. Zeynalova (So.)
2. Chavatipon (Jr.)
3. Ovrootsky (So.)
4. A. Zamarripa (So.)
5. Rapolu (Jr.)
6. B. Zamarripa (So.)

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.

@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.

That's one replacement!  Good so far. 

Nicole Khirin from Israel? 

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)

So it looks like Joffe knew those other players were going pro and transferring for some time. 

 

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.

She has a lot of NCAA postseason experience, including 2021 runner up and NCAA quarterfinals (2022) 

That's a good pickup. 

I’m pretty sure that’s the girl Lulu Sun defeated to clinch the 2021 team national championship. Hey girl if you can’t beat us, join us!

It was.  She won her doubles match against us but lost to Lulu.

Oh hey, another one. 

 

 

Texas never made an announcement of her transfer, but she was quietly added to the 2022-2023 roster so I guess its official now.

Maybe the Russian can be paired up with Zeynalova in some tournaments this fall as a symbol of peace and unity. lol

Once both Nicole's join us in the spring, we're going to have another strong roster capable of defending their title.

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.

I have a feeling 16 y/o Clervie Ngounoue probably has her sights on going straight pro. I was really hoping we could go after Liv Hovde, but the soft spoken Texan announced last month after her junior Wimbledon victory that she would be going straight pro. Oh look, the aforementioned players play eachother first round.  

 

edit: Also nice to see Marlee Zein and Rapolu teaming up for doubles. They just faced off against eachother in singles earlier today in Ft Worth in the Texas regional final.
