WOW...just saw the rain.... Might be stanford's prayers being heard for a chance to regroup!

Nos. 1 and 2 are turning out well for Stanford, but things look fairly bleak, but not impossible, as UCLA is up a set at 3 through 6. I have no particular interest in which team wins.
Doubles point is SO huge in college tennis.

Will they finish up on the indoor courts, or will they have to wait and play outdoors, since that's where the matches started?

I would think that they'll wait for some amount of time for the rain to move through, and if it looks like the rain is going to go on for a while, then they'll move inside.

They are going indoors. There is a huge band of t'storms over ATL and moving towards Athens. This rain won't be over before much before 6 I'd say.
They will use Hopkins to finish out the Stanford/UCLA match. After that, one of the 3pm matches will play at Hopkins while the other will move to the Norcross, Georgia to the Racquet Club of the South. The same will go for the 6pm matches.
*Both have live stats. Check the NCAA Tennis Championship main-page.
Even though Georgia is seeded lower in the tournament for the 6pm match, I'm guessing they will get to play at Hopkins and Texas/Oklahoma will have to move to Norcross.

The rain delay gave Stanford a huge advantage since they are only playing on four courts.. The bottom 5 and 6 were shoe ins for UCLA and the match would have ended quickly 4-0 or 4-1 without Stanford being able to finish at 1 and possibly at 2. But now thatthey are letting 1 and 2 finish before 5 and 6, the score is going to be alot closer, but probably with UCLA pulling ahead.

Yup Stanford has to thank the rain gods for this one...
maybe with the score tighter they can get back at 5/6...we'll see

Not looking good for the Cardinal right now. UCLA is on the verge of earning their third point with a line 5 win. Also close on lines 3 and 6 too.

Looks like Clayton just prevented defeat, both for himself and the team, by winning the second set tie-break.

Anyone know what's happening on line 6? It's been 3-1 in the second set for what seems like a long time now.
He went to Stanford. This is a recurring pattern. The coaches and program are big on reputation, not so big on actual player development in recent years.

Hirshman (Stanford) is now up 4-3 in the second, has won 3 games in a row, but lost the first.
Only 4 indoor courts. These guys had to sit and wait for two other matches to finish. Lucky for Stanford, as UCLA was winning at 7-5, 3-1 and now stand at 7-5, 3-4.

Transitioning from outdoors to indoors is a big deal. For some players it's great, for others, not so much. Generally, I'd say the bigger you serve and hit, and the more aggressive you are, the more indoors will help.

Stanford is going to wind up winning lines 2 and 3, and it's going to come down to the third set on line 6.

Unless the scores have been updated, all the remaining matches look close. UCLA could still win at 2 and 3, and it could come down to any match. Maybe I'm behind in the score updates.

No, you're right. They're still close. It just seems like Stanford is rallying right now.

Stanford's Thacher is one game away from taking line 2.

Stanford won at no. 2 and Hirshman is up 3-0 at No. 6.
Looks like it will come down to Alex Clayton at No. 3. So, this will be Fedace's dream or nightmare depending on the outcome.

okkkkk ucla i see you!!
True statement, in the sense that no team is ever a given to beat any other team in the final 16, because all the teams are good. Looks like you might be misjudging UVa a bit, though.
Yes, that draw pretty much puts Stanford into the finals. They just have to beat USC in the semis, and Virginia in the quarters, and UCLA in the round of 16 ... oops.
