    Lowest point in years for the program, blown off the court by FSU. Really not even competitive....Jin at 1 and Jefferson at 3 were battling but that's about it.
    Doubles remains awful. Ganesan and Nirundorn are not playing well, none of the freshmen are seeing the court. Our two portal guys played and were ineffective.
    Expected a rough season, but it could be brutal

    I dont want to be negative, I know he is basically new to us. But like you I know a few very avid tennis people who follow the programs religiously who dont like the direction of the program

    Men are facing FGCU today.....barely won a very tight doubles point.
    Just starting singles, no Jin, no Ganesan, no Nirundorn, No Edengren.
    Throwing out the freshmen with Jefferson at 1. Interesting

    Beat Fgcu 4-1. Impressive wins at 5 and 6 from freshman, top 4 courts were pretty sloppy.
    Jefferson lost on 1, Jon magnus won a 3 setter, Paliska and Weintraub were in 3rd sets.

    Forgot to post results of the match vs UNC Wilmington earlier today
    Played poor doubles as usual but eked out a 2-1 win
    Jin didn't finish on 1
    Ganesan lost on 2
    Jefferson lost on 3
    Johnson won a 3 setter on 4
    Villard won a 3 setter on 5
    Weintraub comfortable win on 6

    2 wins on the day, some nice play by freshmen at 5 and 6.....but overall nothing that improves the season outlook for this team

    The flu has run through the entire team over the past ten days. This is not an excuse for the poor showing in Tally, but the illness has had an effect right into this past weekend.

    Thanks coach...hoping that was a mitigating factor in last few matches. I know you haven't enjoyed the product on the court of late

    It's going to be a development year. Some solid players but it will take time to develop them and need a top-rated recruiting for next season.

    Roster is certainly young.....unfortunately this is the third year in a row of this with a revolving door roster. Certainly the coaching changes have played a part, but we need to see some actual development. Really hoping we see some strides cause this is a really rough start
