I should have caught this last week when the record was set but with the victory yesterday Buckeye head coach Ty Tucker has passed Stanford legend Dick Gould (776 wins) on the all-time head coach NCAA tennis win list.
Tucker now sits in sole possession of first place with 778 wins in his 27 seasons at Ohio State. Gould accumulated his 776 wins over 38 seasons.
One Buckeye is on fire, sophomore Nikita Filin has won 19 consecutive singles matches. 18 of the wins were in straight sets.

Bucks will play TCU Thursday 1 pm at Athens Georgia in the quarterfinals of the NCAA tournament

From the official site release re Tucker signing Matthew Forbes.

… Forbes, the son of Roger and Denise Lawson-Forbes, is from Raleigh, North Carolina. He transferred from Michigan State University and will have two years of eligibility in Columbus.
He is currently ranked No. 15 in the latest Intercollegiate Tennis Association singles rankings with a No. 38 ranking in doubles. His highest career ranking in singles was No. 3 at the beginning of the 2026 dual season.
Forbes helped the Spartans win their first Big Ten Tournament title this year since 1967, clinching the victory with a three-set singles triumph in a 4-3 battle against Ohio State.
Forbes played at the No. 1 and No. 2 singles positions this season, where he went 20-9. He was 16-10 in doubles….

Sounds like a stud get. That's for next year though (?). Anyway, sounds like the Buckeyes are peaking at proper time. Bottom part of roster is winning, hopefully enough to pick up if top few stumble a bit. Kinda think that the doubles point (usually a given W), is up in the air at times. Not entirely certain, as our top singles guys man the doubles teams....All I really know is what I read here, so if I've not connected the dots correctly, would hope that someone would put things in proper perspective. All in all, envision a top four placement, and with a little luck on the spin, maybe bring home the trophy this year. Seems the only thing not on Ty's resume....

Re: Bottom part of roster is winning, hopefully enough to pick up if top few stumble a bit.

Check out the stats for the players so far this year.....


Nikita Filin has really been kicking ass in the #4, #5, and #6 spots as well as on the #1 doubles team! The weak link on the team may be no true dominate #1 guy like some of the players that they have had in the past like Chase Buchanan, Mikael Torpegaard, Blaze Rola, and J.J. Wolfe, etc. to name a few.

BUCKEYE TENNIS IS ELITE. Only one school in the country has both its men’s and women’s tennis in the quarterfinals of the NCAA Tournament, and that school is Ohio State.

The Ohio State men, seeded third in the NCAA Tournament, will face No. 6 seed TCU in the quarterfinals at 1 p.m. Thursday after beating Buffalo, California and Illinois in the first three rounds of the 64-team tournament. If the Buckeyes beat the Horned Frogs, they’ll advance to the Final Four of the NCAA men’s tennis tournament for the fourth time in five years.

The Buckeye women, also seeded No. 3 overall, are in the quarterfinals for the first time since 2017 and just the third time in program history. They’ll be seeking to earn their second semifinal berth ever when they face No. 11 seed Pepperdine in their quarterfinal match at 1 p.m. Friday.

Both the men’s and women’s NCAA tennis tournaments are being played at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex in Athens, Georgia. The semifinals for both genders are set for Saturday, while the championship matches will be played Sunday.
