Hi UT Tennis Fan,

Our team returned to Austin last night after another successful road trip, picking up a 6-1 win over Oklahoma State in Stillwater on Friday (recap), and a Big 12 Regular Season Championship clinching 4-1 win over Oklahoma on Sunday (recap). Our current senior class has now won a Big 12 Championship in 3 of their four seasons together.

Speaking of our 6 tremendous seniors {Micah Braswell, Cleeve Harper, Evin McDonald, Eliot Spizzirri, Eshan Talluri, and Siem Woldeab), they will play their last regular season home match this coming Saturday at 4 pm vs Baylor. Although we clinched a share of the Big 12 Regular Season title yesterday, they would like nothing more than to clinch the outright championship at home in front of another record setting crowd. Immediately following the match we will honor the seniors and present them with a special gift. This senior class has made a tremendous impact on the UT Men's Tennis program, and has represented us all with class and Texas Fight every step of the way! So I am asking one more time (until NCAA's of course) for you to come out early, make a difference, and stay until the match clinch to honor Micah, Cleeve, Evin, Eliot, Eshan, and Siem. You can count on me to be in touch with a reminder towards the end of the week. If you will be in Austin, please put 4 pm Saturday at the TTC in your calendar now. If you cannot make it, your only opportunity to watch will be on The Longhorn Network. Have a great week, and Hook'em! 

Sincerely,

Bruce Berque

Hi UT Tennis Fan,

I am writing with one more reminder about our final home match of the regular season tomorrow (Saturday) at 4 PM vs Baylor (match preview). We will have our senior day presentation immediately after the match (not before the match as we were previously planning). This senior class has been truly special and impactful. We would sure appreciate you coming out to support them if you are in town! Out of towners will be able to watch the match on The Longhorn Network. Sole possession of the BIG 12 regular season championship is on the line! Let's do this! Hook'em!

Sincerely,

Bruce Berque

Hi UT Tennis Fan,

Our team finished the regular season by shutting out Baylor 7-0 in front of a great crowd of 800 fans. Our seniors took full advantage of their opportunity to showcase their skills, and their passion for representing Texas. We started the match with an all senior lineup in doubles, and finished the day by paying tribute to Eshan, Evin, Siem, Cleeve, Micah, and Eliot for their amazing accomplishments, and for the way they have represented Texas Men's Tennis over the last five years. For the full story, please click on this press release. The win over Baylor gave us sole ownership of the Big 12 Regular Season Championship. For the 2nd year in a row, we finished the year undefeated in conference play. We now turn our attention to the Big 12 tournament in Stillwater, Oklahoma, where we will play BYU in the quarterfinals at 3 pm on Friday. Thank you very much for your continued support of Texas Men's Tennis! Hook'em! 

Sincerely,

Bruce Berque

Hi UT Tennis Fan,

Our team put in another great performance on Sunday, shutting out then #3 ranked TCU by the score of 4-0 in the final of the Big 12 Championship. For his efforts in going undefeated at #4 singles and #2 doubles, Pierre-Yves Bailly was named the tournament's Most Outstanding Player. Our tournament victory completed our first sweep of both the Big 12 Regular Season and Tournament Championships since 2010. Our record for the year now stands at 22-3, and this week we have climbed to the #2 ranking in the country. For a full recap of our championship win over TCU please click on this press release.

The NCAA draw will be released next week. We will definitely host the first round (May 3), and should we advance we will host the second round (May 4). If we manage to get through the first two rounds, our round of 16 match would also be at home (May 10). You can count on me being back in touch once the draw is released early next week. Until then, Hook'em!

Sincerely,

Bruce Berque

Hi UT Tennis Fan,

Just a quick note to let you know that the NCAA Tournament Draw was released last night, and we are happy to confirm that we will be playing at home again this coming weekend. We are the #2 overall seed in the tournament and will take on Sacramento State at 1 pm on Friday. Should we advance past Sacramento State we would take on the winner of LSU and UCLA on Saturday at 4 pm. Please click on this press release for more details. I will be in touch again in a few days with a reminder and a final request for your help in providing our guys with another big crowd as they get started with NCAA tournament play. Have a great week, and Hook'em!

Sincerely,

Bruce Berque

Yeah, at least that shit will stop starting this fall.

And we will get matched up with B12 schools every chance they get.

Yes, that is true.  We will see a lot of postseason matchups with teams like Tech and Baylor and TCU and UH

But also, in the stick and ball sports, the NCAA has not been afraid of SEC-SEC super matchups.  We aren't done with those, I'm afraid.  If they can make a Texas-aggy or Texas-OU super happen in baseball/softball, even after we join the SEC, they will.

Kind of surprised to see no Texas doubles team make it but only as an alternate. 

I’m not. Berque has been toying with the doubles lineups all season to find one that works. We were losing doubles points to the likes of UTSA earlier this season

Hi UT Tennis Fan,

I am writing to remind you that the NCAA Championships begin today! We will play Sacramento State at 1 pm at the Texas Tennis Center. For a full preview, please click on this press release. And for more information about the NCAA Regionals please click on the tournament homepage. Should we advance today, we would play the winner of LSU and UCLA tomorrow (Saturday) at 4 pm. In order to get through this weekend's regional, we are going to have to keep our standard high, and we could sure use a few more great home crowds. Our special group of seniors has, at most, 3 matches left at the TTC. If you are in town, I encourage you to come out and support them and the whole squad, as we try to get off to a good start at NCAA's.

Eliot Spizzirri and I had the chance to speak with a few members of the local media a few days ago, and if you are interested in watching the interviews, please click here. Yesterday, the Big 12 announced several awards, and it was a clean sweep for the Longhorns, including Eliot Spizzirri being named Player of the Year for the 2nd time in a row! Please click here for the Big 12 Conference Awards Announcement.

Thank you so much for all your support this year! Let's keep it going down the final stretch! Hook'em! 

Sincerely,

Bruce Berque

Texas swept the awards, just like they did the Big 12 titles regular season and tournament

POY: Spizzirri (first 2 time winner in program history - unanimous as well)
FOY: Gilles-Arnaud Bailly (third Longhorn in the past 4 years to be named FOY)
Newcomer of the Year: Jonah Braswell (second Longhorn to win it and first since 2008) - Ed Corrie won it in 2008 as both FOY and Newcomer of the Year, but now it's basically for transfers
Coach of the Year: Berque (third time for BB in the last 5 years)

Hi again UT Tennis Fan,

Rain forced us inside today at the Weller Tennis Center, but we played a good match and beat Sacramento State 4-0 in the NCAA Championships 1st round. For all the details, please click on this recap. Tomorrow (Sunday) we will take on UCLA at 4 pm in the 2nd round, and expect a great match! Hopefully the weather will cooperate and we will play at the Texas Tennis Center. If you are in town, please plan on joining us, and helping this team fight for a spot in the Sweet 16. Hook'em!

Sincerely,

Bruce Berque

Hi UT Tennis Fan,

Rain forced us inside again last night, but our team played a strong match against a good UCLA team, and came away with another 4-0 win to advance to the Sweet 16 (UCLA recap). Our NCAA Tournament Round of 16 match will be Friday night (May 10) at 6 pm, and we are playing Texas A&M! This will absolutely be the last home match for Eliot, Micah, Siem, Cleeve, Eshan, and Evin. Please make every effort to be there (Texas Tennis Center) if it is at all possible. And recruit your friends and any Texas fan you can find! Let's pack the TTC one more time, and help send this special team out with a bang! Plan on getting there early, so you can be sure to get a seat! Hook'em!

Sincerely,

Bruce Berque

Thanks for nothing, OU, losing to Stanford.
