Cal DESTROYED Stanford 4-0 and Stanford is a "top 5 team"...lol
I didn't know that a team can be in "decimation mode" and can sweep a "top 5 team"
Cal tennis is officially back and will make a deep run in the NCAAs.

Cardinal had some major injury issues to deal with. Fawcett had leg injury and couldn't move well at all. and Kumar has wrist injury and he couldn't hit any penetrating groundies because of it. Cardinal will decimate the Bears in Ojai next week..............lol

Coach Goldstein had said, Cal bears have a Young team and they are improving every day. and they will be dangerous in the NCAA tournament. although we beat them fairly handly last weekend, it was much closer than score indicated.

The bears beat nc state 4-1 this afternoon in Texas. Dropped the dubs point, then grabbed five of six first sets in singles. Important wins in singles by BG, JT Nishimura, Ben, and Paulie B.
Molloy and brumm played nicely, too.
Roll onnn, you Bearrrrs.

I am so proud of the boys so far this year. That was a HUGE win over the Trojans. This team will only get better as the season goes on and I will be shocked if the Bears are not in the NCAA final 16 this season.

Cal bears fought well. and Bears showed why they have the best doubles teams in the country. But singles way too strong by the Cardinal. Cal needs 1-2 more strong singles players to be competitive in Pac-12.

Lost to Oklahoma State 4-2 today. Going to need to get those type of wins soon in order to raise their ranking from 47. The Oregon and Arizona matches will be huge.

Cal fans don't take this wrong but I always wonder why Cal is not better. They are never a threat to win anything ever. No chance at conference, indoors or ncaas. Weird Cal should contend, atleast sometimes

They are saving themselves for the NCAA tournament. Regular season dual match is meaningless
Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha (takes breath) hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha….
Regular season dual matches determine the rankings and seedings for the conference and national tournaments, they most certainly do matter. You keep proving you never went to Stanford...

Thank you. I had a good feeling about this team about halfway through the season. I liked their fight and togetherness. This team does not have a dominant #1 player. Infact 1-6 are almost completely interchangeable which is usually a negative for most teams but it works for this Cal team.

The Bears are about to take on the university of TX-Austin. Tough match. Lost to UT last year in the second rd. If healthy, Texas Is srsly loaded in dubs and singles. The Danish kid is unreal. So is yuya Ito.
I hope this is covered on the stream.

They should play their matches at the French Laundry with Gavin Newsom in attendance. They'd be safe then.

Is the Cal bears pulling out this season ? They cancelled several of their dual meets already. What's going on next week ?

I was thinking more like the Esalon with Nancy, perhaps doubles at the Laundry and singles at the Salon, both seem very safe
