The Bears came back from Austin, Texas, with solid results in doubles competition but still much to accomplish to achieve regularity in singles matches.

It is going to be imperative to take control of the points and to dominate the rallies. Whether that is achievable against such a team, though, is a different question.

Routing Saint Mary’s 7-0 Tuesday and narrowly clinching against No. 13 Stanford with 4-3 Friday, this was a big week for the Bears.

This first week back on Hellman Tennis Complex will be a key starting point for a long string of dual matches, especially after starting off on the road.

With a thoroughly packed spring schedule, it was imperative for the team to start off on the right foot as it once again began its season in Hawaii.

As a wrap-up to this first part of the 2022-2023 season, Cal players seized their chance in the various tournaments to improve their game ahead of the upcoming team season, which will commence in Honolulu, HI, against Florida State and Hawaii.

The seventh-seeded Bear snagged a deserved victory at the 15K Norman and confirmed his steady progress in professional tournaments.

The blue and gold marked their territory on the historical enemies’ courts and confirmed a productive fall season as one Bear made his run all the way to the final.

Held at the Goldman Tennis Center in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, this tournament welcomed at its earliest stages six Bears. Four of them accessed the round of 16: Lucas Magnaudet, Sean Hill, Yuta Kikuchi and Alex Chang, the latter convincingly beating Daniel Cardiff, 6-4, 6-0.

In college tennis, athletes play individually, but most of the time are still fighting for their team. This was fully on display over the past few weeks, as the Cal men’s tennis players have been busy traveling to college and professional tournaments alike.
