No-Ad, No Problem

Welcome back! It’s been about a month since I’ve previewed a few matches of the week; the last few weeks have slipped away from me, but hopefully you’ve enjoyed The Deciding Point shows each week! This week, I took to Twitter again to poll you all about which matches you wanted to preview and the answers were pretty clear on both the men’s and women’s side! We’ll cover a SEC showdown for the men and an ACC battle on the women’s side.  You can catch Cracked Racquets coverage of the Tennessee/Kentucky match via their SEC CourtCast. Links are available on each of the school’s sites and aggregated here . Tweet me @JTweetsTennis with how you think these matches will pan out and what other matches you’re watching closely this weekend! Men:  #5 Tennessee at #12 Kentucky Time: Friday, April 8th at 5pm ET Overview Both Tennessee and Kentucky enter this match needing a good conference win. Tennessee, the 2021 SEC tournament champion, is a shocking 5-3 in conference play after losing th...

Well…last week was sort of a bust. I struck out on both of my predictions but for different reasons. The Harvard/Northwestern match was canceled due to Covid within the Northwestern program and the Texas/Stanford match was the first non-Indoors match I predicted incorrectly. I guess that just means one thing: time to get funky with the predictions since the pressure is off! I’m really excited for this week’s matches. Both the men and women are fully into the regular season with many schools kicking off conference action this week. There were so many matches to choose from this week that I decided to let you all vote and pick the one you thought was most worthy of being featured. On the men’s side, Florida vs. Kentucky won in a landslide (52%). For the women, it was a virtual three-way tie but UVA/Duke (31%) narrowly beat out Stanford/Pepperdine (29%) and Miami/NC State (27%).  Tweet me @JTweetsTennis with how you think these matches will pan out and what other matches you’re watch...

Welcome back to some regularly scheduled programming! Last week, I previewed the ITA Men’s Kickoff Weekend for Cracked Racquets. You can see how poorly some of my takes aged there . Now that Indoors has wrapped for both the men and women, we’re officially into regular season action across the country and I couldn’t be more excited for these two matches – one of which I’ll catch in person! Tweet me @JTweetsTennis with how you think these matches will pan out and what other matches you’re watching closely this weekend! Men:  #14 Northwestern at #13 Harvard Time: Saturday, February 27th at 1pm ET Overview We only have one top 15 matchup for the men this weekend and it’s…Northwestern versus Harvard?! Did anyone think either of these teams were capable of making the top 15 this year? Let alone being ranked above schools like Virginia, Arizona, and Georgia? Definitely not on my bingo card but here we are.  Harvard surprised everyone at the ITA Kickoff Weekend by knocking off Peppe...
