 thanks cya - it seemed a strange schedule to me, with the tuesday completely blank, but heh ho...

some folks around here may recall the old WCT Finals in Dallas, one of my favourite events; they had an 8 man knockout for the most part of the time it ran; all best of 5 sets. they would typically play one match per night, which was great for tv but weird scheduling for the players. the guy who won on the monday would not play again until friday; the guy who won on thursday would play his semi saturday and then right back in and another match sunday...that americans for you i guess    

Mens Quarterfinals just started - good luck to all our Bri players

Bobby Knight  predictions below.  https://www.collegetennistoday.com/2021/05/18/d1-womens-mens-quarterfinal-preview/

Prediction: Both teams are coming off thrilling wins with Tennessee surviving against Arizona while Georgia upset North Carolina. This will be the second meeting of the season between these two with Tennessee winning the first 4-2 however Georgia was down two of its top four singles starters in that last match. The only rematches will come at 1 and 5 with Rowe and Hussey meeting last time at 3 while theyll be meeting this time at 5. Tennessee has been dominant in doubles and will be hopeful theyll have the early 1-0 lead and then the Vols will be looking to get wins at 2 and 4 plus one more. If Georgia drops the point the Bulldogs will be banking on a split at 1/2, a split at 3/4, and then trying to sweep the bottom two spots. These conference rival known each other well and its going to come down to who plays with more confidence Georgia 4-3

Prediction: This will be the fourth meeting of the season between these Big 12 rivals with Baylor taking the last two while TCU won indoors back in January. I guess that status of Sander Jong wont be known until match time but it kind of sounds like he wont play in this one which means everyone from 4 down has to slide up a spot. Baylor is going to ride its bottom three spots in the singles lineup for as long as it can so for TCU to get a win theyll either need doubles and a sweep of the top three or theyll need to find a crack in the bottom three  Baylor 4-3

Prediction: USC seems to be hitting its stride at the right time and after a solid win over Virginia I think confidence will be extra high for this rematch against Texas. The Horns won the earlier meeting in the backdraw at the National Indoors but this one will be outdoors which should suit the Trojans much better. Despite Texas being the higher seed I would consider USC as the favourite. I like USC in singles at 1, 3, and 5 (2 is a toss-up) plus Ill take the Trojans in doubles  USC 4-2

Prediction: This will be the third meeting of the season with Florida winning the previous two however the last meeting on April 22 was a 4-3 barnburner. Both are coming off dominating wins in the Round of 16 and while we know who is going to be in Floridas lineup were not as sure for A&M. Pierce Rollins was pulled from the lineup against Mississippi State and if he plays hell be facing Ben Shelton who worked him over pretty good in the last meeting. If Rollins doesnt play then Guido Marson would move up to 5 and Marson lost a competitive match to Shelton back in February. Raphael Perot could start at 6 but he lost a lopsided match to Goodger last time. Texas A&Ms best formula for a win is the doubles point and a sweep of the top three singles spots. They came close to doing it last time but I think Florida plays better up top and pulls through  Florida 4-2

 Prediction for Tennessee v Georgia was wrong . Tennessee defeated Georgia 4-1 and are the first team to head into the semis. Georgia won the doubles point, but Tennessee pulled off 4 singles wins. Johannus Monday won his singles match on court no. 2 in straight sets. Giles Hussey's match was in the third set unfinished.  

Baylor 4 def TCU 1. A win for Baylor as predicted albeit a different score line. Finn Bass & Charlie Broom paired up and won their doubles match, helping Baylor secure the doubles point. Charlie lost his singles match. Jacob Fearnley and Alastair Gray featured for TCU with Jacob losing both his singles and doubles matches and Alastair winning his doubles but his singles match went unfinished as Baylor clinched the win.  

First Men's semis has been decided - No.2 Baylor v No.3 Tennessee

Other quarterfinals result -

Texas 4 def USC 3 .

Florida 4 def Texas A& M 1

Second semis - No.1 Florida v Texas
