(TEN) M and W Tennis v UGA

Very tough loss to number 7 Georgia, after experiencing another gut wrenching defeat on the weekend. There are two ways of looking at this weekend's defeats to top ten ranked Tennessee and Georgia. On the one hand, one can mope and point fingers at this player or that player. On the other hand is the fact this young team has rebounded from early SEC losses to Mississippi State and even worse, Alabama at home, to a team that came within an eye lash of beating two of the best teams in the nation this weekend. This team has come so far and all they want is validiation to the fact that they can compete with the best teams in the land THIS YEAR! I know how hard these guys have worked under the tutelege of the best coaching staff in collegiate tennis. I hope that these guys can get the break through win that validates their commitment to the Gators before the season ends. One additional thing I want to state. These SEC teams and others who are currently in the top ten of collegiate tennis better get their licks in this year, because next season the experience and influx of talent this team will experience will be there for all to see. Go Gators!

 

This weekend was why I was kind of rough on their chances to find a good win.
It’s not like they are awful. But they just can’t win the big points this year. It’s where the women were a couple of year ago, 4-3 was almost a swear word. Difference is the men should recover quicker with their recruiting.

 

Rankings for both squads should be flipped. We are Florida and there is tennis played in the state. Jmo

 

Time will tell on regionals. Florida’s men will be on the road most likely. As for the women, the Sunday match was pushed inside. Florida's womens team is not an indoor team, and that especially is true in the case of Emily, whose forte is being steady rather than attacking an opponent.

 

Simply an opinion. They play tennis and golf in Alaska.

 

Good, let’s put it to rest.

 

Took me a while but I think he means with the teams we are playing.

 

As I had said a couple of weeks ago, the landscape of NIL with Florida Victorious, which was announced publically today, will put us on an even footing with other D1 schools. Men's tennis is already in the mix and will now be competitive recruiting with all the other top tennis schools.
