I'd like to publicly apologize to Daria, my favorite player and the one who frustrated me the most. A switch flipped in the sweet 16 and I take back my comments about her not needing to be in the lineup lol. Obviously that was an overreaction but wow so happy for her and what she accomplished and what she did for the program for 4 years. She will most likely be in the Aggie tennis HoF.

I don't follow the team closely... But I could see getting frustrated... Skill level wise, she looked a significant notch below most of the lineup, more so than I'd expect from the 6 naturally being... But then again, she stepped up in the biggest moment. Congrats to her!

It's been a blast following this team closely for the past four years. In my opinion, Daria's skill level hasn't been an issue and is comparable with several players in front of her. Her mental approach and strategy during matches (including the big points) has been the primary issue. I'm so proud of her for making huge improvement in these areas this year which helped carry this team to the top.

The irony in many of your posts.

Especially the one name calling.

All very telling. You guys are the ones showing you actually are very thin skinned.

FYI, it's not an accident when the person responding sees my quoted response above what they are typing in their response. Please by all means keep making excuses. LOL


I don't even understand what you are upset about. It's a forum to discuss our school and the team. Many are upset about how it went down with Nicole so people discuss it here. It's definitely worthy of talking about, so stop with the why do you care bs.

Just from a technical standpoint does not look as solid from the baseline or serving.

I think Daria's groundstrokes are fine. She is strong and creates good power. She has a very offensive mindset and playing a pusher / backboard used to frustrate her and she would take too many low percentage chances to try to shortcut the long drawn out battle each point.

Her serve has been her concern. I'd venture to say that she breaks her opponent more than basically anyone but loses her own serve more than anyone. Her holding serve to win a national championship after being down 15-40 was an absolute perfect was to end her college career and deliver a team national championship.

She has an unorthodox forehand and wild volleys but somehow it works. Technically she is a disaster, like Medvedev, but she is a winner and an athlete.

I agree! Technically, her strokes can be a mess. I'm happy she was able to improve her shot by shot decision-making and overall mental approach this year to allow her more consistency than prior years. I do think even with her technical issues, she probably is in the top four or five #6 players in the country THIS year.

She also has so many championship rings that she literally struggles to turn door handles.

The story is that Nicole chose not to travel to the SEC tournament and also chose not to travel to the NCAA Championships. She chose to go on recruiting visits instead of supporting her team during the NCAA tournament.

well the team didn't seem to mind her absence, in their celebration at least.

Overheard Nicole mention these teams along with Michigan while talking with parents of USC's #3 player.

From what I have heard she hasn't even reached to the team or the coaches to congratulate them. Pretty sad!

Did anyone catch in the interview when the team arrived Daria said how the culture will always remain here at Texas A&M and having Lu and Lexington back will help that

Not so sure a post is quite the same as reaching out to your teammates, but perhaps that's how people operate these days. I have been told that there has been little to no communication at all with the players or coaches over the last few weeks. Very reliable source.

If you follow A&M women's tennis on instagram it's impossible to miss all the player engagement. It's honestly good to see.

Our 2024 team - Mary, Carson, Jeanette - as well as many other former players and players from other schools are giving our players tons of love.

Nicole is included in that. Sometimes I think the drama is more for us fans than the actual players.

Wowser on the drama. We should all move on now.

Gig 'em, Mark.
Horns down, Nicole. Horns down.
You have landed Jordan Szabo, War Eagle.

I clearly stated prior to his response I prefer talking about the girls that played this season.

And he responds to me a bout a player that clearly did not do that one..

He easily could respond to the guy that did.

It seems you are having issues understandIng that concept. Do you make a habit of responding to people about something they are not interested in talking about? If so, that's kind of weird.


It could have been an accident on who he replied to, I did that just the other day. No need to get your panties in a was over a reply that was informative to the board.

This is exactly what happened. Sorry for those whose feelings got hurt.

Curious - why is the tennis transfer portal not public like many other sports?
