Normally, there's no suspense with ITA Kick-Off Weekend, because we know we'll smoke whoever we play. But with all the injuries we have, that's not the case! It's not a foregone conclusion that we qualify for Indoor Nationals, so we'll see how it goes today versus Memphis. 

Of note, we see the spring debuts of Katherine Hui and Caroline Driscoll, with those two pairing together on the #3 doubles court, with Glozman/Ma at 1 and Okpara/Xu at 2. Unclear whether Hui will play in singles, given how Frankie described her limitations in that TreeCast episode, but we'll see what the singles lineup looks like! No live streaming or scoring with the matches being out at Campus West due to ongoing construction.

Stanford takes the doubles point behind 6-1 wins on the top two courts (Driscoll/Hui were up 5-2). We'll see how they line up in singles shortly....

---

It'll be like this:
1. Glozman
2. Ma
3. Xu
4. Okpara
5. Driscoll
6. Shaffer

So, Hui's return is doubles-specific.

So are Doubles going to be a positive this year?-

Too early to say. Opponents have not been good. Our #1 doubles should be able to compete with anyone. TBD on #2 and 3.
