Is Fomba coming back next year ? Geller would most likely be back. With Fawcett graduating, he would move up to #1 spot and compete for #1 ranking in NCAA.Team tried to move him to three, but NCAA would not allow it.

No worries. With 2 blue chip players coming in, we will still be top 15 in NCAA next year. and with great coach like Paul Goldstein, maybe he has another ACE up in the sleeve with possibly british or another French connection.Fomba done I believe. Geller says he's coming back. Still hurting here.

and Yes,,, Wake forest claims to have one of the toughest academic admission standards in the country, right up there with IVY leagues. and yet, they can bring all these foreign players.........not sure how they are doing it, maybe exceptions are given to athletes ?? Just saying.................................
Le sighNo worries. With 2 blue chip players coming in, we will still be top 15 in NCAA next year. and with great coach like Paul Goldstein, maybe he has another ACE up in the sleeve with possibly british or another French connection.
Is simply being top 15 every year good enough for a program with the historical stature of Stanford?
why would Fomba be done? Doesn't he have one more year left?Fomba done I believe. Geller says he's coming back. Still hurting here.

Masters of Art Graduate student in French ?? Isn't he from France ?
thx . He was very solid. It will be tough to replace him.
it will be impossible to replace him. He was virtually unbeatable at #4 spot. he should have been given a spot in NCAA singles tournament.thx . He was very solid. It will be tough to replace him.
You should start a tournament for Fomba, Geller, other Stanford players current and former that did not make the NCAA's.it will be impossible to replace him. He was virtually unbeatable at #4 spot. he should have been given a spot in NCAA singles tournament.
I was thinking the other day when Ole Miss upset Stanford: Why was I pulling for Ole Miss? I have no attachment to Ole Miss. My paternal grandfather went to Stanford and was my earliest ancestor to go to college in America, as far as I know. I grew up rooting for Stanford whenever they played Cal-Berserkley in any sport. Stanford combines top academics with excellent athletic teams. Shouldn't that be the kind of school I root for when my own favorite school is not playing?
It seems to all come down to one internet troll. Kind of a shame.
Singles championship starts on Wed. Fawcett is Ready and running.
yeah, right. It was pretty bad indeed.Yikes. Out in the first round? What happened? Neither one of them could hit a volley to save their life in the second set breaker and the super breaker.
injured--between the ears...
well, Stanford girls won the whole thing, so there's that....Been out of the country for a while but wow, how bad did Standiford choke, so much choking, to Miss, Miss isnt even a top 20 school, then Fawhook loses first round of NCAA's, of man Feddy how sad are you now, atleast your doubs team won today (nope, choked again)......way to win well zero this year

That's the point of my post. I am trying to stop rooting against Stanford because it is not sensible to do so just because of you-know-who.You know what they say... it's not the external conditions that define who you are, it's how you react to them. So why let someone else dictate how you feel?
Good to know. Hopefully more posters here will do the same.That's the point of my post. I am trying to stop rooting against Stanford because it is not sensible to do so just because of you-know-who.
I can't help it, Feddy makes me dislike them so muchGood to know. Hopefully more posters here will do the same.
let't hope Geller develops into more complete player next year. He has the game to dominate in NCAA D1 tennis. Fawcett and Fomba won't return but with Geller leading the team, we still have a chance next year.Personally I think Fawcett and Fomba would have been a better combination in dubs. Geller has a lot of weapons but volleying is not one of them.
Hey, people lose. The sun comes up the next day. Ole Miss was underrated. Both Tom and David have Stanford degrees. Enough said.Just for fun I have to bring this up, would anyone say this is the worst choke/coaching job of any team of any sport in Stanford history? They had the talent to win NCAA's, yet lost in the second round on their own courts. Sorry if this is painful Nosty, but what do you think, fire the coach? fire the assistant? fire the ad? or just cancel the program and make it a club sport?
Was up there today watching some good matches. The only player I recognize is Caroline Lampl as I first saw her back in 2015 during the Bank Of The West. I think because she was on the team, she had credentials to go where the pros went and I saw her hitting with a teammate. MaximaGQ and I should be up tomorrow as wellhttps://gostanford.com/news/2018/10/14/womens-tennis-ita-northwest-regionals.aspx
Girls team regionals start today at the Farm. Go Michaela and the team. Stanford should dominate this one. Go Card.
Kumar has been wilting for a while imo. I've been watching the games of Stanford on Youtube. Safe to say that he isn't playing well in those videos. 6-1 loss in dubs vs Jaede/Verboven, Breadstick n' Bagel loss to Verboven at #3 in Ojai...and I thought he was a solid player when he beat Keegan Smith this year and gave Martin Redlicki a good fight back in 2017...WOW, what a strong comeback for William Genesen. He makes it into the final of Northwest regionals, beating #2 singles player Sameer Kumar in the semifinal to do it. Genesen usually plays #6 spot, so does this mean he will play #2 singles now ?

Kumar is extremely talented player, he had few injury issues in those matches. It is tough to play healthy all the time. but Kumar when he is good, he wins futures tournaments and goes deep into ATP challengers. He is that good.Kumar has been wilting for a while imo. I've been watching the games of Stanford on Youtube. Safe to say that he isn't playing well in those videos. 6-1 loss in dubs vs Jaede/Verboven, Breadstick n' Bagel loss to Verboven at #3 in Ojai...and I thought he was a solid player when he beat Keegan Smith this year and gave Martin Redlicki a good fight back in 2017...
yes and if she can ever turn that forehand into more of modern day semi-western weapon, she can be top 30 player in WTAAnd one of the greatest clutch players in all of tennis: the great Melissa Lord!
No worries matt, Cardinal has 3 guys going to ITA championships this week in Arizona, Kumar, Geller, Genesen.Did Geneder lose to Jaede??? Oh dear Lordy
