Minnesota seem serious and they could be powerful for years to come. but what is up with Northwestern, once a very good team. Now looks like they are bottom half team in big 10 and no promising players coming in either

Both are continuing to pick up some ATP points. Soon they will get into main draws of futures. Interesting to see how good D 1 players stack up in the pros. As a point of reference both players were ranked in the top 50 in D1 singles at some point

Buckeyes announce coming soon a new state of the art 75,000 square foot $22 million dollar indoor complex. The location is within the OSU athletic campus, adjacent to the outdoor courts and will be named after head coach Ty Tucker.

Good pick-up. I'm really liking Indiana's freshman class and the addition of Ronnie Schneider as an assistant coach.

Couple of observations from the ITA central regional. Iowa is much improved and may surprise in the Big Ten
Jackson Allen from Minnesota was a highly ranked recruit and may be breaking out at the top level

The Illini knocked off a decent Kentucky team this evening and Duke last week but tomorrow they face North Carolina at home which will help tell how far they'll go this year. They simply don't have a strong enough player at the top and will have to rely on their depth down below.

Yeah, the Illini don’t have the strength at the top of the lineup this year - their strength is the middle/bottom of their lineup. Against good teams, it’s imperative that they win the doubles point, or they’ll have a hard time.

What is Illinois ranked this year ? Aren't they hosting the ITA indoor championships ? If they are really bad, then how could they be playing in this national top 16 team only event ? and how do they play tennis in Chicago ? isnt' it like Minus 30 degree or something ?

Illinois supposed weakness (#1 and 2$ just knocked off Max Cressy and Keegan Smith. Great wins for Kovacevic and Brown.

Where did I say they were bad, much less “really bad”? Do you troll intentionally? What’s wrong with you?
I’m an Illini grad, and a huge fan of the tennis team. They have a lot of really good players, but I don’t think they have the strength at the top of the lineup when they go up against top team. Kova is playing great so far this year, and hopefully, Brown starts playing as well as he did last year.

They have played the ITA Indoors at the Midtown Tennis Club for like ever
The place is pretty damn amazing now with all the upgrades and hotel they built on site
Its not really hosted by Illinois considering its nowhere close to Illinois and they never play there

He won 10/12 Challenger Q/MD matches in one month's time in 2019 including winning Cleveland Challenger and won his prior 3 dual matches in straights. Guess he had an off day. It is ironic that Cressy, Roy Smith, and Borna Gojo all have top aTP 500 rankings from Challenger matches but have each already lost at least one dual match (Roy Smith 2 at Kickoff). Maybe their rhythm gets a little off going back and forth from ad and no-ad or maybe they are tired from playing college and pro matches plus all the travel and school....

Cressy probably takes basket weaving class. he doesn't look very smart

If the wise Nostradamus did some basic research, he would have noticed that Cressy is a 6 time athletic director's honor roll member and 2 time Pac-12 all academic selection. Now who is it that doesn't look very smart?
