Yes, they were virtual unknowns, and not highly recruited, when they arrived! Did nothing in juniors, but now they are suddenly good!
They were top 10 Juniors when recruited to stanford. but Noone knew Klahn would become this good. Thacher was more of highly regarded Junior at the time..

Klahn is a good player hah, think he's going pro?
Nguyen had nerves of steel today. I want to say he was down multiple games to start the match but pulled it into a tiebreak. #2 for VA started off real strong & Johnson didn't start well.
Both need to bring it tomorrow for SC. It is going to be one heck of a final, K_I

I can almost certainly say this will be the case (as a Bulldog who will be rooting for UT)
If it was the TN women I would cheer for them because of the GA girls on their team. Pluskota and Meredith. I don't feel any connection to the TN men just because they are in the SEC. I will pull for Stanford over FL in the women's final because of the Burdette sisters. If UGA is out I will support the GA players at any school ,any conference, especially those that I watched come up thru the junior ranks.

Who is this Noone person Dr Fedace keeps referring to?
I am big GA tennis fan. I always pull for the SEC representative in the football championship game. But in tennis I want UGA to be the elite SEC program. Look at the list of teams with multiple championships-USC, UCLA, Stanford, GA. Adding the name of another SEC school to the list of champions even just once won't make me happy.
I would agree with you. Not sure how much it will help but UT is sending a bus or two of peeps from Knoxville today down to Athens for the finals. It was cool how they were arranging the bus plans on their live blog in the middle of the match against UGA. Not that they were being cocky but they had to get an idea of a number of folks interested in going there to schedule chartering the buses with late notice.
Go VOLS!!!

Yes, he has a chance. Maybe top 100. His rate of improvement over the years has been impressive. We will see how far he can go. His power and placement on the serves has improved so much over last year. and now he can rip a ground stroke winner from anywhere on the court. It wasn't like this last year. so that tells you how much he has improved.

Just a guess but I believe SoBad was asking if he was going pro this summer. Am I right SoBad? With the current track record of Standford players he should turn pro now before he gets worse.

This coming from a Stanford grad? Have you no ability to punctuate or capitalize?
Bus loads of orange clad TN fans in UGA's stadium. Wish I lived closer to Athens.
Go Trojans!

The Georgia fans were relentless against Tennessee yesterday. That is to be expected in such a heated rivalry with so much on the line. I was worried that the atmosphere might get the better of the Vols but they were mentally tough and pulled through it.
Can't wait until 6:00 tonight. I am pulling for the Big Orange to win the National Championship!!!
Go Big Orange!

I found the scoreboards. But I was looking for live-cam. Since tickets are $100, maybe there are no cameras.
It was $100 for the whole tournament or $10 a day, but then again maybe they are charging the TN fans $100 a ticket for tonight.
This link worked last night.

Yeah I was referring to men. You have to give the UF women the respect they are due.

Why did no one think Klahn would become good? He was only the number 1 junior coming out of the 18s...

I'm watching the women's final. Talented players, but between the absolute refusal to come to the net off the serve in doubles to the incessant screaming in this deciding singles match, it's really quite annoying.
Nonetheless, congrats to Stanford, who just won 4-3.

scoreboard says 3 - 2, to USC
last two matches are both in 3rd set.
Scores show 4-0 (USC) and 4-3 (Tennessee)
Both of those last two match must be racing to finish first.

Both Bruch and Clayton have regressed under Whit. I think Kronague has had a pretty solid career. And considering Monecke got to the finals last year and Ohio State was on par with the top Mid Am schools before Tucker got there...I'd say he's done a good job

That was exciting. Couldn't pull myself away. Nyugen is cold as ice.
Always tough to win after losing doubles. Very impressive.
Congrats, to USC. And, also to Tennessee and all the other great teams who participated.
Tennessee loses their #5 and a doubles guy.
I think USC only loses Farrah at No. 1, but, that's a big loss. Both teams should contend next year. But, as UVA shows, it's not always as easy as having most of your squad back.

Nyugen is over-rated. He will never play #1 or #2 for USC. He is just not that good.....

Do you have to sh*t on everything? Who cares if he never plays 1 or 2. Two NCAA Div. 1 championships in 2 years, playing in the starting lineup for a great team, clinching a championship match. I guess that really sucks.
Just give him credit for doing a great job, whether it be at No. 1 or No. 6.
