For your viewing convenience…
New England. Summary. Singles: Amherst is winning. Doubles: Williams is winning. Cue Bates fans, “What about us?”
Northeast. This website is really hard to read, but man, that singles draw couldn’t have gone more to form. And that doubles draw really couldn’t have not done that in any way at all.
Southeast. Here comes the part where Hopkins takes over
South. I was totally just kidding with all of my predictions except for this region.
Midwest. Really rooting for Noah Sprinkel
Southwest. And the award for least helpful athletics website goes to… UT-Tyler! Take a bow.
West. Remember that time CMS totally dominated this tournament?
You’re welcome.
adam putterman has to be a pretty clear favorite
Hersh repeats, beats White in the final
Singles for Mobile or NCAAs hasn’t been this wide open in probably a decade. No Pottish/Goodwin, Watts, Seeberger, or Greenberg. Will be interesting to see who emerges.
I agree, anyone of these guys can win this thing on any given day. There really is no intimidation factor anymore. Will be very interesting to see what happens.
I think the winner will be either Putterman, Kjellberg, or maybe Yaraghi (because I know nothing about him) if he wins. Skinner, Malesovas, Kotrappa, and Smith-Dennis all have very slim chances in my mind, as they are all unproven. Hersh and Loutsenko could definitely win (especially since Loutsenko has a win over Putterman, I think), but I think those top three are just consistently a little better. Doubles is always a s***-show. Have fun trying to predict who wins those 10-point tiebreakers. Two years ago, the Trinity team had to save two match points in their play-in match, and went on to win the tournament.
Who won all the regionals? Will you wrap up each one? Preview of Mobile?
Expect regional wrap-ups in the coming weeks. Previewing Mobile is a little harder to do because they take a while to release the draws (thanks a lot NW and Texas). For those of you who didn’t notice (if you had the site bookmarked and there were cookies enabled), the site was hacked, and the permissions are all messed up. I have to get things straightened out at some point, but I’m just too busy. Bear with me.
“BEAR with me” Go Wash U BEARS!!!!
Supposedly Kjellberg held off match points against Ruderman
Ruderman 6-1 5-2 or 5-3 up and 40-15.
New England. All-Amherst freshman final. Collective uh-oh from rest of nation. Micheli/Meyer continue Williams’ doubles dominance.
Northeast. Loutsenko wins. Drew University doubles? Gotta love an underdog.
Southeast. Someone commented elsewhere, but Hersh, Brown, Caulfield (Haverford, good call whoever commented a while ago), White in singles. All-Hopkins doubles final. Where did CMU go?
South. Kjellberg mows down four consecutive Eagles, playing like a full-grown man. Isaacs/Szczczczczczurek win dubs. Quite impressive.
Midwest. Smith-Dennis wins for Gustavus. Osborne/Balkin win for Whitewater. Need updated draws.
Southwest. This guy http://tennisrecruiting.net/player.asp?id=178 appears to be holding the torch for UT-Tyler. How did that happen?
West. Remember that time when I made fun of CMS for not dominating the tournament this year? Wooooooow Kotrappa. Un-frickin-believable.
Kotrappa played phenomenally this weekend. It was in the 90’s-100’s all weekend, and a brutal draw, and he found a way to dig deeper. Congrats to Neel for a well deserved win and here’s to hoping he get a shot in the lineup this season. Also a great effort from Wiechert, who showed he’s ready to take over for Tommy Meyer and then some. The match vs. Dorn was some of the highest D3 tennis yet played.
Wow Jordan Mayer played the match of his life yesterday against DelaFuente and then comes and craps the bed this morning against his doubles partner. Tough luck for Trinity taking out their own best bet at a good run
