Both the men and women kick off their seasons this weekend! The men at home against U-la-la and ACU, the women on the road at No. 22 Arkansas.

All whining and moaning aside, it's time to be optimistic! Gig 'em Aggies! The men should have no troubles getting to 1-0 (ACU is exhibition), and the women knocked off Arkansas last year when they were ranked no. 14.

Men win, and Junior Ore looks realllllyy good!

For the women, Ags doubles are up 4-3, 3-2 at one and three lines, down 4-2 at two. So far, so good!

Making a comeback on the 2-line...it's now 5-4. Might be a sign of the fight that we've been longing for?

Down 4-0...were close on just about every court (including doubles). May pick up a few of these other matches in garbage time and make it look decent.

I think my preseason prediction was pretty accurate and I still think this team will be better than last year's, but still not good enough to finish any higher than 3rd in conference and win more than 1 NCAA tournament match.

VERY excited about the men's team, however.

I only caught part of the 2nd men's match on Saturday (I was over at Reed for the basketball game).

Junior Ore looked impressive from what I saw. He's got a big serve and looks sharp at the net.

Looking at the doubles teams and the lineups from yesterday, any guesses on how the lineup shakes out for next weekend's matchups?

It looks like our doubles teams might be: Krajicek/Dadamo, Grigorov/Ore, and Bautista/Hoover.

Should we read into the fact that Hoover played #2 over Grigorov, or Bautista at #4 over Ore in the first match?

I figured we'd see some combo of Krajicek, Dadamo, Grigorov, and Klegou in the top 4, then pick 2 from Hoover, Bautista, Angus, and Ore to round out the singles lineup. Definitely one of the deepest teams we've had in awhile.

First match of the year, don't read into anything. It's all pretty wide open for now. I would think next weekend will give you a better prediction of the real lineup

Found myself shaking my head a few times while reading that. Neither the results, nor the comments from Coach K, are giving me a lot of hope for this team. Gonna be a long year.

I see Krajicek is playing the ATP Challenger in Hawaii this week. He is set to play Bobby Reynolds tomorrow.

Does this mean he won't be playing this weekend against Miss St and Az/Miami?

I think Austin has a great chance to beat Reynolds, and maybe to get even further. Even if he loses tomorrow, I would be amazed if he came back and played Saturday.

Playing without Krajicek will make the match against MSU very interesting.

Krajicek lost 4 and 2 to Reynolds today.

Does he fly home for the matches this weekend?

Yup, he's back. Great effort by him and everyone else involved to make it happen. Definitely gonna need him, this is MSU's best team in a while. Should be a great match, wish I could be there.
