A good, solid opening day for the Kohawks. Hard-working competing from all seven players throughout the day. Doubles will be a point of emphasis over the next few weeks, as it is so important to get each match off to a good start.

OZ Open down to Quarterfinals!

Now it starts getting really, really good! Especially on the Men's side. Tonight Roddick vs Cilec and Murray vs Nadal. The Women's side is Henin vs Petrova and Zheng vs Kirilenko.

Kohawks open play in 4 days and 21 hours!

Week II

Finished up a hard-working week one of practice. I think I can safely say we have enough players that can keep score so that we will be able to field a team! Really, though, we had a good week. Knocked off a lot of rust, worked hard on doubles combinations, and all the players are very sore from Conditioning Sessions, and two days of intrasquad play.

This week we will try and get a bit better each day. Augustana(IL) will provide very skilled opposition on Saturday(1/30) at 10am.

Great Time of Year!

What a great time of year it is.

Sunday was Monday in Australia and the start of the Australian Open.

Yesterday was the beginning of Spring Tennis here at Coe when our Men's team was able to begin practice!

TWO WEEKS!

In just fourteen very short days the 2010 Men's Tennis Season gets underway. I hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable new year! Now it is near time to string up all the racquets, stretch out the rested legs, and get on the court and get after it!
