I don’t quite understand the Ma/ Yep doubles ranking. Shouldn’t it have been Ma/ Xu ?

I think that means the Stanford coach submitted these pairings for consideration in the polls, so it is a preview of what you might see this year.

Hui wins again 1, 0. total domination, only question is how many points would she drop on the way to the US open title.

Blowing away seeded players is name of Hui's game. This is just too easy for Hui, might as well just give her the US open crown now and call it a day. give her both Junior and adult US open since she will get both eventually anyway.

Wow...dishing out bagels 3 matches in a row!
Defeated #6 seed, up next is #10 seed Samsonova and could face #1 seed at the finals.

total blowout, keeps on impressing everyone. Hopefully she will stay at the Farm for more than a year. But she looks like she could turn pro now.
Yes this begs the question if Hui will stay. But I think she should prove herself at college level before going pro. If she wins NCAAs it would be an easier decision. For what it’s worth, SoCal can bask in the glory of placing two of its players in the final (the other being Tien). Add Michelsen, Kang and Quinn (a bit of a stretch because he’s from Fresno in the Central Valley) and the rich pipeline continuestotal blowout, keeps on impressing everyone. Hopefully she will stay at the Farm for more than a year. But she looks like she could turn pro now.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Remember we already have a Jr GS Champion on the farm, Samir Banerjee. And he would play S3 when the men's squad is healthy.
Right now Hui is on serve in the Finals in the first set. Let's Go Card!

…and Hui takes the title 6-4 6-4 !
Going to be a tough decision on the line up. Last year Yep was great at #1, Blake undefeated at #3 and highest ranked .Ma didn’t have such a great year but this line up would be incredibly strong.
1. Hui
2. Yep
3. Blake
4. Ma
5. Blokhina
6. Yu
Wouldn‘t lose many singles points ….

I’d agree with playing Hui atop but more on the basis of her win over Brantmeir who’s undoubtedly a top 5 player in women’s college tennis. It’s a bonus that she’s USO girls champ but as @nomalt points out it is no guarantee of a smooth transition to the top of the college game

If you are going to base the order on high ranked wins then Blake had wins over #3 Lea Ma, #8 Komar and #19 Broadus. Yep’s highest win was over #28 Morra. But since Blake was a lock at position 3 I doubt if they will change that.

Just cause she won the US open,, she would automatically play #1 spot ? i don't think so.. They will have to figure out the best lineup once they start and kick off the season on both practice courts and during tournaments. I would put Hui at #2 to begin the season and see how it pans out as the season goes.

I happened to sign up to ESPN+ to watch the USO to try to watch a Pac-12 alum, A Kulikov. It happened to all fall into place that I was able to watch Hui in the finals live.
A couple of notes: The commentators said that she had always wanted to go to Stanford. This was only her 2nd Jr GS event, only playing in last year's USO previously. Needed a Wild Card to get into the tournament.

I saw Hui's highlights losing to Genie in Q1 at US Open before she won the junior US Open.
I didn't know that Glozman actually lost in Q2 at US Open and lost at R3 at the junior US Open. Quite impressive for a 16 year old.
I guess it's not often for any college to have 2 recruits play at both US Open in the same year.
Serves on 2nd US Open

Would like to see which Stanford players are in this weekend’s All American singles and doubles main, qualifying and pre qualifying draws but it seems like that information is still not available on ITA site other than to college coaches ?

As far as I can tell, no players from Stanford will be participating at the All-Americans: https://colleges.wearecollegetennis.../players/04EDD997-D93A-48F1-89D6-1C489D3D95E1

Can’t open that link ! Think you have to log in as a coach to open it.
But I know that definitely several Stanford women are participating. It’s surprising that the ITA is not showing everyone that is taking part on the website.

Got it to open in the end !
The players on the list are all playing pre qualifying. That’s why there are no Stanford names shown .
Are there any other links to the qualifying and main draw players ?

That maybe indicates that Yepifanova, Blake, Ma, Hui , Blokhina and Xu will be competing in the All American

Ahhh...you are correct sir. I see that the MD doesn't start until Wed. There's only 32 spots in the MD, so I would think Stanford might have 3, maybe 4 players in the draw?

Qualifying draw competitors out now. Blokhina, Ma and Hui included . They start on Monday. I think this means that Blake and Yepifanova are in main draw .
Why is the ITA so secretive regarding (or possessive of) this information? What harm is caused by disclosing the identity of participants to the general public ahead of time? Not asking for the draws but just a list of those playing. And the site can do with navigational improvements. Often the page-back cursor doesn’t work and one has to start on the homepage again to “return” to the previous page one was on!

I found the acceptance speech by Gibbsy really eye opening. To hear her say her passion for the sport "was 'tenuous', at best." which is something I never thought about watching her on the court at the Farm. She did conclude with "Stanford was really the only place where I loved to play tennis."
