As promised, the third installation of our weekly power rankings can be found below. These rankings actually coincide with the introduction of our first ITA Spring Rankings, which can be found here: The ITA committee is unfortunately bound by the timing of the schedule and cannot take into account perceived talent and projections into their…
REGIONAL PLAYERS OF THE WEEK: FEB 24TH-MARCH 2ND You’ve been waiting all season and now you all can let out a collective sigh of relief. “Regional Players of the Week” is back. These guys have finally made the big time and yes (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8OxKx6zKkQ) they’re kind of a big deal. A-SOUTH Player: Christian Carcione Team:…
This is a longwinded recap of UCSC’s 5-4 win over Whittier this past weekend. Basically what happened in the match was the Team of Destiny came up huge, recovering from a late break at #2 doubles to eventually win in an epic tiebreaker, to give Cruz a 2-1 lead after doubles. Then, the Earlham transfer…
Before we start this post, I want you all to just take a second and let the excitement of Indoors just wash over you… Because this weekend isn’t going to be anything like that. The only big match we have on the West-region docket is Whittier vs. UCSC, and I have to say this should…
Get your unpopular opinion puffin memes ready because you’re about to read something that’s heresy as far as The Guru is concerned. Am I the only person here who thinks that success in DIII tennis has almost nothing to do with the history of the program? Don’t get me wrong, I understand that the programs…

As you all know, rankings are a bit of a hot topic all the time in Division III Tennis. Rankings oftentimes don’t come out fast enough for them to always reflect the comings and goings of the busy DIII schedule. The writers at DIII Tennis have decided that we will be doing weekly rankings (power…
Well, team. I’m not going to do a pre-season individuals ranking because I think it would be absolutely silly to try without knowing who the #1 singles players are from the various schools. Common sense would say that Wood is a lock from CMS, but if he plays behind Butts, who knows? Same situation for…
As usual, the a couple West region teams are playing in the first big match of the year, and here’s to hoping two West region teams will play the last big match of the year too. (It’s a bit of a long shot). This won’t be a long preview because there’s only one match and…
