The Demon is already like top 30 player in ATP tour. Geller hasn't been playing this kind of competition in college. It takes time to get used to this kind of ATP tour level talent.

This dude can volley.
Please, you are seriously going to judge Alex's form from that match today? I've seen it in person. The other dude was all effort and all but he was so overmatched it was not even funny. And shorter by like good 12 inches. He is not even a full 13 utr.
Now, they better start taking that doubles match seriously playing with Tom. It's not the first time they seem like not caring. They have no business trailing in their match, even if stanford took doubles point anyway

nice interview with coach Goldstein about this weekend away matches against USC and UCLA.

like others have said, it's going to be a tough match against UCLA who has not lost a single match at home this season. I expect a close match, and whoever wins the doubles' point will have a big advantage. I think they should win against USC, but will be tough too.
Is there any video feed at UCLA? I don't think they did have one, but maybe they upgraded this year...?

here is the Live scoring. Stanford down doubles point already to the bruins. Also down on all singles courts as well in early stages.

The lack of any competitive match in 3 weeks looks to be effecting Stanford in this one.

UCLA wins 4-0. This is a good experience and something to build on moving into the NCAA championships in May. I still fully expect the Cardinal to win the Pac-12 championships in few weeks as well.
I wonder where the Cards are going for dinner. Maybe I can buy them all good dinner and they will be better prepared for USC tomorrow.

it doesn't matter. who doesn't have exams ? you are a scholar athlete, that is the part of the deal. It is Coach's job to prepare the players for such obstacles. Goldstein didn't want to get hot too early, I knew that. it is more important to play their Best tennis in Pac-12 and improve even more as they get into the NCAA tournament. and they should be peaking for the NCAA final.

UCLA demolishes Stanford 4-0 with the doubles point and three straight set victories. Watching the match, Geller was outmatched tactically. The kid only knows how to hit hard. His tennis IQ was lacking. Sameer Kumar was completely off against Smith at 3, he’s so bad compared to last season. The match never looked like Stanfords regardless, I’m sure if they played them out UCLA would win 6-1 or 7-0 (the 1 being Fawcett beating Redlicki).

Important win for Card against the Trojans, especially after Stanford let a big lead slip away in #3 doubles. Hopefully team has calibrated after its long lay off. (During this time lads cannot practice with coaches present.) Number of teams capable of winning NCAAs this year keeps increasing. I still think doubles needs a tweak.

Easy to say doubles needs a tweak. but there isn't any other combinations that are better than the current one.
Nostradamus
Bionic Poster
look at these doubles play. I don't think there is really any better combination. they played well but just lost the close one. with abbreviated scoring, doubles sometimes is luck of the ball bouncing the right or wrong way.
well, maybe, but.... (1) Tom/Axel are not really playing that well recently as a pair. They should really be winning every single match at #2. (2) if they _are_ playing like they care they may indeed be the best pair - and putting them at #2 is a nice stacking move that may be beneficial for overall goal of wining doubles point.

This is a team that relies heavily on their big serves and holding serve. So when they were told to spin higher % of 1st serves in play, it's not working very well. and Axel has some technical issue with his volleys. He sometimes gets lazy and forgets to concentrate on volleys. or maybe he just lacks confidence on those volleys. So my point is Axel needs to work on his technical aspects of the volleys. and this is great chance to do so. Improve his volleys level or two before he turns pro.

well, that was a shellacking by USC yesterday. Not great. I'm eagerly awaiting @Nostradamus comments as to why they lost to calm my nerves.... There surely is an explanation...
Perhaps the long season has caught up with Stanford team a bit. Especially Axel's form is concerning.
On the other side Stanford girls team deserves its own thread. They keep climbing the rankings, keep winning, just solid all around. They just took 4 singles against UCLA in the finals after losing doubles point. Well done!
