Yea their two singles guys went 4-5 in singles at Southerns (one was a retirement loss to save energy though). I’m actually surprised to see them be so dominant at nationals. I thought doubles was going to be their teams strength.
Yeap I meant former collegiate players
Going in to the event, I had Southwest with a 4.43 schedule strength. It wasn't the easiest, but was in the top-3 easy schedules, so yeah, they benefited from that.
The USTA appears to put a priority on ensuring the event is over by early afternoon so folks can get a flight out that evening. But yeah, not having the gap between the semi and final that teams had on Friday and Saturday is tough.
No obvious tanking. Just looks like someone who got back into the game in 2019 and found their stride in late 2020 and into 2021. Very well could have been bumped up had there been 2020 year-end ratings.Wow that guy for MO Valley goes from 7-4 in 2019 to like 23-1 in 2021

From what I remember the singles from mo valley, one (lefty) played #1 at a D2 and the other was #2 at a D1.
Mo valley
Im not sure that’s accurate. I played with the guy that played #2 for Missouri valley in the semis and finals; we were on the same team in SC for a bunch of years. I know he played college but im about 99% sure it wasnt D1.
Maybe it helped Adam moved back. Hitting with him could make anyone better.
Haha yeah idk for sure. Just my teammate who played him told me. I only do doubles hahah
Now that you say truman state that rings a bell as to what he told me.
