Nice to see a top program bring in a true freshman as a developmental piece in todayโs college tennis landscape.
So many staffs are chasing immediate impact players out of the portal. Good to see UVA investing in a kid they believe has a high ceiling.
Keep an eye Nihal - didnโt play the ITF circuit, talent is barely scratching the surface, give him a couple years @UVAMensTennis heโll be a good one.
The drama is real
Episode 21
Laurent's suspended. Jerald's about to face the number one seed.
Mario already knows how he wins.
What's the advice?

What a year for Jordan Lee
Really impressive to take the title in Chengdu. Getting redemption on Ziga Sesko, who he lost to in the group stage. The only loss on the week for the Australian Open Boys Champ
The 16-year-old American wins Wimbledon and finishes his season with a World Tennis Junior Finals title.
Best American junior since _______?

A rule change families need to understand: D2 now uses an age-based eligibility model, and D1 follows in fall 2027.
Not 19 before September 1 of the enrollment year? The clock has not started. Five years to play five.
A gap or PG year does not start the clock. A JUCO year does.

After Texasโ roster news today, my point from this article still stands. The rapidly rotating cast of pros in Austin may raise Texasโ level, but it just canโt be healthy for college tennis as a whole.
Texas men's tennis is playing the outlaw in a collegiate athletics landscape that looks a lot like the Wild West.
After signing Matej Dodig, a Croatian pro topping the ATP rankings at No. 199, the strategy has become clear.
