The famous Sherwood cup starts today in beautiful and sunny Thousand Oaks, Southern Cal.

Last year USC dominated. This year may well be the same story again. Who will come on top? USC, UCLA, Stanford?

First round results (matches not finished yet):

John Morrissey STAN def Alex Brigham UCLA 6-2, 6-2

Roberto Quiroz USC def Seth Stolar UCLA 6-2,6-4

Top seed Ray Sarmiento USC def Ryoto Tachi UCLA 7-5,6-2

who looks good to you this year? is anyone going to have a break out year? I follow Marcos G. .. I'm thinking he will be the UCLA #! this year .. what happened to Clay ?

I am not on site... and yes, only live results I can find are from UCLA tweets.

I saw John Morrissey play this week, and I found him a bit rusty.... but he still won easily. I think he'll be the leading man for Stanford this year. Watch out freshman Nolan Paige, he already has victories against strong players McMorrow (U Wash) and K McLachlan (Cal). For other teams, Giron and Novikov for UCLA, and Sarmiento for USC look good.
