That Ole Miss result suggests that doubles isn't going to be any more of a strength this season than it has been over the last several years (which is to say, a relative weakness compared to other top teams).
We are a top-heavy team, for sure. Ma and Glozman are as good a top 2 as exists anywhere in the country, and they might be the best. But the dropoff after that is considerable. Hui at 3 is respectable, but she'd be better at 4. Xu shouldn't be playing as high as she is, but we don't have other options.
Driscoll has been a bit of a nice surprise, though. Maybe not someone who will be a dominant force at 6, but she's figured out ways to get wins when players like Xu and Okpara have struggled.
