This is a great link when it works - all the individual scores etc

But most of the time for me it just hangs and then times out

However, I see that the QFs are like this:

Which - for GB fans - means it's basically TCU which has our interest in the mens, yes?

 (1) @TexasMTN vs. (9) @Game****MTennis
 (4) @UKMensTennis vs. (5) @UVAMensTennis
 (3) @OhioStateMTEN vs. (6) @UGAtennis
 (2) @TCUMensTennis vs. (7) @umichtennis

And for the women,

(1) UNC vs. (8) Texas
(4) Georgia vs. (5) Michigan
(3) NC State vs. (11) Iowa State
(2) Texas A&M vs. (7) Stanford

Which, again for the Brits, is NC State, and Stanford?

Thanks CD - I tried that and it summarises the results but it has an onward click called Box score which I assume is where you get the individual results for the match? But these take you to the college host website and presumably had been live during play but are now just blank - so unless Im missing something , the individual singles and doubles results dont seem to get curated and kept for casual viewing ?

As everyone has pointed out, the NCAA certainly dont make it easy for fans to follow the Championships The collegetennisranks link is definitely the best for following live scores- links to host site box scores will only work whilst the matches are live and times are US times and different times zones, just to add an extra layer of complexity hmm

I have included the links to each college team site below, as often a bit more background information and singles, dubs scores

http://collegetennisranks.com/schedules/weekahead/d1

I was wrong with my Tennessee vs S Carolina prediction- Brits in both teams, however S Carolina has more Brits on the team (Thompson, Samuel, Storey) smile

Tennessee has a veteran roster and some good/very good players, Hudd at no 2 has had a strong season. The Vols beat South Carolina a month ago by a 6-1 score, but some of the matches were close, and there are always small margins when good teams player each other. Tennessee won the crucial doubles point--but all three doubles matches were decided by tiebreakers. It's hard to overstate how big the doubles point is in these matches.

No. 8 South Carolina mens tennis defeated No. 9 Tennessee in Knoxville 4-2 on Saturday to advance to the NCAA Quarterfinals for the first time since 1989. The Game****s took the doubles point and secured wins on three singles courts in the victory.

TCU (Fearnley, Maxted, Pinnington) swept Mississippi. The victory punched TCU's fourth consecutive ticket to the Elite Eight and sixth in the last eight seasons. No program nationwide has notched more quarterfinal berths than TCU since 2015.

Stanford (Fery) lost to UK. Basing seemed to be missing from the Stanford lineup (injured??) and their #1 played #6 singles as retuning from injury.

Thanks EP and others! Its the same with websites on the main tours often as well - for folks like me that are mainly interested in results and who beat who (did Fery beat Smith, for example, and by what score) and what that means in terms of the draw, they often dont have it or update it on the main site and you need to search around. Maybe it is a resources thing.

A number of the US college sites seem to block wifi Ip addresses. If you can't access the site using your wifi connection, try using mobile phone data and that works for me!

I mean I am not arguing with the list and whom they is say is best, but interesting that a group for horror stories for student-athletes has a list for tennis??? Hmmm and have not seen the womens list yet?

Both Angelica and Amelia won their singles and doubles matches in the team quarter finals and now their 2 teams Stanford and NC State face each other in the semis. Angelica won convincingly in straights as Stanford beat no 2 seeds Texas A&M 4-0 while Amelia won the clinching deciding match against Iowa in 3 sets to give her team a 4-3 win.

I thought TCU singles were particularly strong - Fearnley et al not strong enough to gain seedings?

Edit: apologies for my ignorance - I'm still getting my head around college tennis!
