Just as they are able to relax and catch their breath, here comes another critical weekend vs. the new B1G west coast powers.
Will be a fun weekend in the Tucker center.


Absolutely love to see how this hometown young man’s game is developing. He put 2 crucial singles points on the board last weekend, without which Bucks lose two instead of claiming both road wins up north.

  • In doubles, Will Jansen and Bryce Nakashima both claimed wins last weekend and moved up to No. 60 as a team.
  • Jack Anthrop has won his last 11 singles matches and is now 18-1 in dual singles matches this spring.
  • Alexander Bernard won a pair of singles matches last weekend and is now 17-8 overall on the year.
  • Aidan Kim has 11 singles wins over ranked opponents this year.

Heck, the whole tennis team can jump on tOSU private jet, no? Or do both men and women travel together on a charter, to each play their appropriate west coast gender, and then wing it up to Oregon and Washington? A travel point that the powers that be didn't take into account, am thinking.....
