[QUOTE="Longfrog, post: 2711326, member: 26611"] With the season winding down, it seems like it's high time to revisit the tennis thread. Recent results have been uneven at best. - Two weeks ago the team opened conference play in Waco. Baylor's been playing very well since Indoors in February, losing only to #1 UT in Austin by a 4-3 score. TCU really needed to win doubles to have a chance in this one and couldn't get it done. Rybakov and Stalder - the two seniors - won their matches but the team dropped a 5-2 decision. - Last Friday was the matchup with UT in FW. The fact that it was at home gave me some hope, and after winning the doubles point things looked very promising. From there it was a disaster as UT won all the singles matches to take it 6-1. Four of those went to 3 sets, but we really didn't look like we belonged. - After that disappointment we faced #8 A&M at home. We have now faced them 6 times in the past 5 years and we've won all of them. The last four have been by 4-3 scores, including this one. Rybakov was the deciding match, which gave me a bit of deja vu. Check the video below from two years ago to see an epic racket smash from the Ags after Rybakov clinched. This year the opposition was more subdued, but it's always satisfying to beat the Aggies. That sets up the final two matches in Oklahoma against OU today and OSU on Sunday, then it's the conference tourney next week and then on to nationals. The team has had a decent season. I would say they raised my hopes after their performance at the Indoor Championships in February, but they've come back to earth a bit in the outdoor season. They have enough to scare any team in the country, but I just don't think they can beat them consistently. And I honestly don't think anyone can beat Ohio State when they're at full strength.
