Too much can happen over the course of three doubles and six singles matches. But last week the Michigan women earned two 4-3 victories over visitors from Texas by following a similar storyline - win the doubles point, then add victories at the 4, 5, and 6 singles spots. http://www.tennisrecruiting.net/article.asp?id=925 Mon, 1 Mar 2010 05:00:00 -0500 The Virginia Cavaliers won their first ITA Team Indoor championship two years ago in Seattle and their second last year in Chicago. On Monday, they claimed their third straight title, defeating Tennessee 4-1 at the sweetest of locations, their home courts at the Boar's Head Sports Club in Charlottesville. http://www.tennisrecruiting.net/article.asp?id=921 Thu, 18 Feb 2010 05:00:00 -0500 The North Carolina Women's Tennis Team travelled to South Bend, Indiana to face Notre Dame on its home courts. On the line was a trip to the ITA Team Indoor next week in Madison, Wisc., a trek every UNC team has made for the past six years. That streak is now seven, with the second-seeded Tar Heels posting a 5-2 win over top-seeded Irish. http://www.tennisrecruiting.net/article.asp?id=915 Thu, 4 Feb 2010 05:00:00 -0500 The summer-like heat and humidity in Miami last week proved no obstacle to Dunlop Orange Bowl boys 18s top seed Gianni Mina of France, who won the Grade A championship. Canadian Gabriela Dabrowski, the girls 18s champion, was unseeded and ranked outside the ITF Junior Top 40 coming into the tournament. http://www.tennisrecruiting.net/article.asp?id=891 Thu, 17 Dec 2009 05:00:00 -0500 At the 2008 Eddie Herr, Americans took home half of the singles titles, with four champions calling the United States home. Last week they improved on last year's impressive showing, taking six of the eight titles and sweeping both the 12s and 16s age divisions. http://www.tennisrecruiting.net/article.asp?id=884 Thu, 10 Dec 2009 05:00:00 -0500 Yesterday, Colette Lewis previewed the younger age groups at the Eddie Herr. Today she takes a look at the 16s and 18s divisions. http://www.tennisrecruiting.net/article.asp?id=879 Fri, 27 Nov 2009 05:00:00 -0500 One of the pleasures of attending the Eddie Herr International tournament year after year is the opportunity to watch the progress of junior players from their pre-teen years through young adulthood. In the first of a two-part preview of this year's tournament, I'll look at some of the youngest competitors, most of whom are seeking the thrill of their first major international championship. http://www.tennisrecruiting.net/article.asp?id=878 Thu, 26 Nov 2009 05:00:00 -0500 With their regional competitions held outdoors, the Pac-10 players who won entry into the ITA Indoor had to adapt quickly once they arrived at Yale University. They did just that, with teams from Stanford earning an unprecedented sweep of the doubles title, and Steve Johnson of the University of Southern California and Jana Juricova of California-Berkeley capturing the singles titles at the Cullman-Heyman Tennis Center in West Haven, Conn. http://www.tennisrecruiting.net/article.asp?id=876 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 05:00:00 -0500 Marc Lucero takes a look at college tennis as an alternative to playing futures as a path to development. http://www.tennisrecruiting.net/article.asp?id=866 Fri, 30 Oct 2009 05:00:00 -0500 The weather was damp and cool in Tulsa last weekend, but the dreary conditions didn't faze Tennessee junior JP Smith, who became the first player to sweep the singles and doubles titles at the All-American Championships since Harvard's James Blake accomplished that feat in 1998. http://www.tennisrecruiting.net/article.asp?id=855 Thu, 15 Oct 2009 05:00:00 -0500 For Mallory Cecil, it's already been a year of nearly unbelievable accomplishments, yet she still has time to add another chapter or two. As a first-semester freshman at Duke University, Cecil helped the team win the NCAA women's title in May and followed it by winning the NCAA women's singles championship without dropping a set less than a week later. http://www.tennisrecruiting.net/article.asp?id=822 Tue, 1 Sep 2009 05:00:00 -0500 When Blake Strode was growing up, he had two ambitious and unrelated dream careers: pro tennis and law. Both are still vying for his time. He finished his collegiate tennis career at Arkansas ranked #13 in singles and reached the semifinals of last month's NCAA championships. He graduated with a 3.97 grade point average and has been admitted to Harvard Law School. Colette Lewis caught up with Strode at the NCAA Championships and talked with him about his future. http://www.tennisrecruiting.net/article.asp?id=772 Thu, 11 Jun 2009 05:00:00 -0500 Big things happen when Williams and Emory square off in the NCAA Division III Women's Championships. The past three times these teams have met, the winner has gone on to claim the title. The result was no different in 2009. After defeating Emory 5-0 in the semifinals, Williams went on and upended top-seeded Amherst College 5-2 for their second consecutive championship and fourth all time. http://www.tennisrecruiting.net/article.asp?id=767 Fri, 29 May 2009 05:00:00 -0500 Two American teenagers with less than five months of college tennis experience stayed cool under pressure in the Texas heat and humidity Monday, leaving the George Mitchell Tennis Center on the Texas A&M campus with three NCAA championship trophies between them. http://www.tennisrecruiting.net/article.asp?id=769 Thu, 28 May 2009 05:00:00 -0500 It was the first for the Duke women, and either the fifth or the 17th for the Southern Californian men, but regardless of the number, NCAA championships are always the highlight of a collegiate career. Duke claimed theirs with a 4-0 blanking of California-Berkeley Tuesday evening, while USC downed Ohio State 4-1 in the afternoon contest at the George Mitchell Tennis Center on the campus of Texas A&M University. http://www.tennisrecruiting.net/article.asp?id=763 Thu, 21 May 2009 05:00:00 -0500
