Peep is a term I use when I don’t want to write people. I actually think that’s a decent prediction as UCLA’s team is a bit weaker compared to last year.

Personally it's hard for me to see standford doing as well as last year with fawcett leaving. Gellar is strong but I cant see him filling thay role as a top 10 player yet.

St. Mary's is a midmajor team from WCC with a power 6 UTR ranking of 74 vs Stanford's Power 6 UTR ranking of 83. That means that each line the Stanford player averaged a UTR 1.5 higher than SMC players. Of course Stanford won easily! The highest uTR of an opponent was 12.41.

I understand but St mary is tougher than that UTR indicates. I never really trusted that UTR rankings, there are flaws. I think St. Mary also wasn't at 100%, that team starts off slow in the season and playing the top 5 team in the country right off the bat doesn't help

THOUSAN OAKS, Calif. – Sophomore Axel Geller won the Sherwood Cup on Monday, defeating teammate Alexandre Rotsaert in Monday's championship match.
Geller, the tournament's top seed, won four matches over the weekend. He claimed the Sherwood Cup crown with a 2-6, 6-1, 6-3 over Rotsaert in the title match.
It marked the second consecutive year Cardinal teammates faced off in the tournament's championship match. Tom Fawcett defeated Sameer Kumar in last year's title match.
Geller and Rotsaert teamed up on the doubles side to win three matches and reach the tournament finals. UCLA's Govind Nanda and Maxime Cressy outlasted the Stanford duo, 6-2, in Sunday's title match.
Stanford returns to dual play later this week, hosting UCF on Saturday (Jan. 26) at 11 a.m. at Taube Tennis Stadium as part of ITA Kick-Off Weekend.

Were you there today? My dad and I did our usual (every other) Sunday hit up there and when we were done, we watched the end of a doubles match and the beginning of singles. Couldn't tell you who any of the players are but we have seen Kumar hit a couple times on the weekend. Besides the womens ITA a few months back, this is the only college tennis that I've ever seen. I'll have to start making a habit of going up when they play at home

Stanford starting the season well, but no big team they faced yet. I wonder what is going on with Kumar. He was playing very well at he end of last year, now he's struggling at #5 ... He is way better than that. He should be playing at #2, and then Stanford has a very strong team again.

Too easy for the Cardinal. and that was after dropping the doubles point. Next time Geller will easily defeat Holt who is nowhere near the talent. plus Cardinal will win the doubles. so not close
Kumar at 4 and frosh at 6 made the difference. And Mike 0 and 2. Wow.

The absence of Verboven and Jaede in the singles play was what broke the Trojans today. Easy wins from Holt and Cukierman surprised me because I felt like the talented likes of Geller and Rotsaert would have put up a fight, but they lost pretty solidly. Personally, I don't know what it is with last year's 3 and 4 not being in the lineup.
What it should have been for a good win:
1. Holt
2. Cukierman
3. Verboven
4. Jaede
5. Riley Smith or Logan Smith
6. One of the two above or Mor Bulis
