The Blog Retirement Article

Well hello there! I don’t need to tell you that the Blog has been pretty much dormant for the past year-plus. There are more than a few reasons for that, and it’s not just Covid. Yes, the season being cancelled last year took a lot of wind out of everyone’s sails, and while there is…

The D3 Tennis World’s Reaction to COVID-19 and the Season Cancellation: Part I

Hey, everyone. Thank you to all who have written in so far with their thoughts about what this experience has been like for them. Below we have a nice mix of players, coaches, and parents sharing a good variety of perspectives. I know for me it’s been interesting to hear how everyone is dealing with…

2020 Men’s Power Rankings, 3/7

Hello folks. Remember to set your clocks FORWARD tomorrow. Don’t lose out on an extra hour of daylight! Enjoy the darkness when you wake up in the morning for a 6AM practice or when you go to work! That’s not miserable at all! Hey, at least that means an extra hour for Happy Hour. Which…

Changes and Constants: A Look Back at the D3 Tennis World of the Past

I’ll admit this post is somewhat self-serving. There’s not a ton of action with the teams I cover going on, and I’m a little uninspired to write about them until some actual results happen this weekend. So for now, I thought it would be fun to take a little trip down memory lane and talk…

Tigers & Wildcats & Blues, Oh My!

There’s a bunch of great west region matchups in the Portland area this weekend so I thought I’d put together a little preview, complete with my not-so-informed predictions. I can’t remember the last time Trinity traveled to the northwest (I’m sure y’all will remind me in the comments), but I’m very happy about the intra-region…

WestWomens 2020 Previews Round #2: Caltech & the PNW

Did anyone else spend their Valentine’s day weekend eating ice cream alone and watching the new Taylor Swift documentary? Asking for a friend. My incredibly active love life is definitely the explanation for the time between west region previews, and not me wanting a sneak peek at the NWC lineups before writing about them. Anyway,…

Women’s 2019 ITA Cup Recap

Hello readers! After a busy weekend of tennis, (most of) your women’s blogging team got together to bring you the 2019 ITA Cup recap. Though the ITA still isn’t technically over, with the singles final still to be played in Claremont, we wanted to strike while the iron is hot and bring you our reactions…

Men’s 2019 ITA Cup Preview, Roundtable, and BLOGGER PREDICTIONS

Hello D3Tennis world, it is me, D3RegionalNEC. RegAS was the last one to fill out this roundtable and thus had the responsibility to post it, but instead he is going to Venmo me to do it for him. Actually.  Anyway, below we share our thoughts on the ITA Cup as a whole, this year’s iteration,…

2019 ITA Cup Women’s Preview

ITA Cup is this weekend and your women’s bloggers have assembled to bring you some hot content. Since we all can’t sit around a table and chit chat about horoscopes, which coast is best (obv, East), oh and D3 tennis, we had ourselves a virtual roundtable to peer into our crystal balls on this coming…

2019 Season Preview – The Blog & Stuff Like Dat

I told you that we’d be back. It took a while. It took my colleagues to ridicule me and berate me until I barely had a will to live. But, I come back to you a stronger, more philosophical writer. I come back to you all with a deeper understanding of what it means to…
