Fall college tennis is back!

So Adam, what has really been going on prior to All Americans? It's been a little bit lighter.

It's been a little bit lighter, and it's been very skewed.

There was the Kitty Harrison that we know happens every year.

We love the Kitty Harrison.

And that's like the, that was the major women's event, but I didn't feel like there was a major men's event.

I was trying to scour for something, and the, what I could find my hands on was the fact the only thing was a full bracket draw for doubles and singles at the Midland Texas Collegiate UTR 15K Invitational.

Wow, that was a mouthful, and I probably said some things out of order.

But that was kind of the premier men's thing.

They also had, like, a round robin sort of s- women's thing where they had some players from NC State there, LSU, Auburn, Texas Tech.

So that was the...

It was, it's been a very weird start for the men's side I feel like for, for this college tennis fall season, but the women very much in full swing.

Kitty Harrison went back to its original flight format versus the hidden duels that we got last year, and I very much preferred.

I like a, a flight format.

I like when, you know, you have the top sort of tiers and you can see it all pan out.

You know who's gonna play each other the next day.

You're not just kind of finding out as the matches c- sort of happen the n- as in the next morning.

Um-

Well, and certainly now that we've moved permanently to having the NCAAs in the fall, you would think that the fall is going to be exclusively individual play bracket format rather than try and do a hidden dual format.

You want your potential number five to play someone who could be playing number one.

Uh, and so I think that- Schools, coaches are probably still trying to figure out what the right version of the fall looks like.

Uh, and this is gonna continue to evolve certainly as, we'll talk about this a little bit later on, but some players prioritize playing pro entirely in the fall.

Because even during that two-year pilot, everything kind of stayed the same.

Like, we didn't make a ton of changes, and now I think that it's permanent.

You know, I, I imagine we're gonna see more different types of events in the fall, budget changes happening.

So yeah, we're in this, like, weird hybrid moment right now.
