Live Thread - Women's Tennis Sweet 16

[DanFreibergerForHeisman]

OK - I don't get it. The live scoring says it's 1-0 Baylor, with the three doubles matches showing 8-4 to Baylor, 7-7, and 8-2 to Baylor.

SMU appears to be leading 3 singles matches, with the other 3 singles matches even, but it's still early.

I assume all 9 matches count? Most of the other scores have always shown 7 matches with points.

(I watch a ton of women's professional tennis - but have no idea how the NCAA match scoring works)

Go Ponies!

[Terry Webster]

The doubles count as 1 point. Whoever wins 2 of the 3 matches gets that point.

Thanks! That explains the expression "the doubles' point"...

[DanFreibergerForHeisman]

Lesniak back to 3-2 with the serve!

SMU up in one other match, down in two other matches, and even in two. Still early!

[DanFreibergerForHeisman]

Lesniak broken - down 4-2. Malyarchikova is down 4-1 but the other 4 matches are all really close.

Go Ponies!

[DanFreibergerForHeisman]

Lesniak breaks right back! 4-3!

[DanFreibergerForHeisman]

Lesniak holds with a great love service game - she really had Novakova on the move there. Back to 4-4.

SMU down in three other matches, up in one, and even in one...

[DanFreibergerForHeisman]

Steinbauer down a set at 6-2. Malyarchikova returning down 5-2. Turpin returning down 5-2.

Lesniak serving down 5-4.

Looks like the Mustangs are going to need a rally!

[DanFreibergerForHeisman]

Lesniak fights off two set points to get it back to 5-5!

[DanFreibergerForHeisman]

Malyarchikova and Turpin both drop their opening set 6-2.

[DanFreibergerForHeisman]

Lesniak serving at 6-5. Cieplucha at 6-6 in a tiebreak. Steinbauer already down 2-0 in the second.

Come on, Ponies!
