Here are how the Bears are ranked:

  • The ITA also ranks the following Cal teams in doubles: Johnson and Konigsfeldt (No. 14), Ben McLachlan and senior Riki McLachlan (No. 22)

In case you have not watched college tennis before, the meet starts with simultaneous play of 3 doubles matches, first to 8 games with tiebreaker for 7-7. The team who wins two doubles matches first win ONE point. Then the six singles matches happen (more or less simultaneous) - best of 3 sets, with the winner of each singles match rewarded one point. First team to 4 point win the meet.

GO BEARS!
