In the womens, from what I can see , we had:

Victoria Allen won her singles versus Renne McBryde 2 and 2; and she won her doubles also.

Sacha Hill didnt appear to get a match in this round for Florida State

Amelia Rajecki played half a doubles but it got stopped mid way through 1st set

Ema Lazic didnt play for Duke

Mens today?
Yes. Bobby Knight has a fabulous round up of the mens D1
The men will fire things up on Monday morning at 10:00 am ET with play expected to go well into the night. The only rematch from a regular season meeting will be the All-SEC affair between Texas A&M and Mississippi State. This will be the first time Arizona has made a Round of 16 appearance and itll also be the first time that a Round of 16 has been contested without UCLA whose 43-year streak came to an end after an opening round loss to Northwestern.
The winners of Mondays matches will advance to the quarterfinals which will be held on Thursday.

and for those who are interested D2. I dont follow D2 but spotted Henry Masters (Concordia) is playing.
In years past if you advanced to the D2 finals site you started in the Round of 16 but due to COVID the field was trimmed and thus we go straight to the Elite 8. Usually each of the 8 regions are split into two regionals but this year there was just 1 per region so thats how we ended with 8 instead of 16. The men will be playing three straight days starting on Tuesday so its going to be survival of the fittest in the hot desert sun with temperatures expected to be in the mid to high 90s.

How does scoring work with 6 singles and 3 doubles and yet scoring ends up with someone winning 4? Are there half points or is it first to 4 out of 9 rubbers ie a chase to finish? Seems lots of unfinished matches and non counters ?!

Hard to follow for the layman !

Sorry found my own answer - it seems the 3 doubles go together for one point and six singles count as per below

By: Nick Welch

For most of you, I would assume, are not super familiar with tennis scoring or more specifically collegiate tennis scoring. College tennis focuses on two components: the doubles point and singles matches.

Collegiate tennis matches typically begin with each school sending out three pairs of doubles squads. court 1 will usually feature the schools No. 1 ranked doubles squad, with court 2 and 3 feature their 2nd and 3rd ranked squads respectively.

Instead of playing a best of three or five set match, they instead will play what is a called as a super set, which is a first to win eight games set (you still have to win by two games). Whichever school wins two of the three doubles matches wins the doubles point and will lead the collegiate match 1-0.

Interestingly, if one of the schools wins the first two doubles matches, the last remaining uncompleted doubles match isnt not required to finish, meaning it technically doesnt register a result in any of the players records.

After doubles play has concluded, there is about a 15-30 minute halftime/warmup for the six singles matches that follow. Like in doubles, each school will usually send their No. 1 singles player to court 1, their 2nd ranked player to court 2 etc.

Each singles match is played to a best of three sets. Each singles match won gives the school a point. So essentially to win, you must win the doubles point and three out of the six singles matches to get to four overall points. If you lose the doubles point, you have to win four of the six singles matches.

This is weighted heavily towards having strong singles play, although that doubles point can give a team the psychological advantage as opposing squads have to look at a 1-0 lead during the 30 minutes of singles warmup.

Hopefully this provides some context for future mens and womens tennis results.

JonH, you're catching on . Good research.

The dubs point can be very significant in the matches , especially if both teams have strong singles players. Johannus Monday, for example lost his singles match today for Tennessee , but luckily had won his doubles earlier, helping Tennessee secure the doubles point; so they were 1-0 ahead after dubs and needed only 3 singles wins, as opposed to Arizona that required 4 singles wins.

South Carolina v Texas going down to the wire.
3:2 to SC (aided by freshmen Toby Samuel who won his doubles and singles, and Connor Thomson who won his doubles).
Last 2 singles in 3rd sets, with SC needing one win

Tennpar · Strong Club Player

Both now 5-4 to Texas in the 3rd sets..

Tennpar · Strong Club Player

SC 3:3 Texas

Tennpar · Strong Club Player

SC 3:4 Texas
Texas took the win 7-5 in the 3rd on court 6
Bit of a heartbreaker for SC. Both fielding young teams, so good prospects
