[BostonCard]

... Should be a fun one.  

Prediction

Doubles is tight. Again. But this time, folks, we pull off a win on Courts 2 and 3 to get the doubles point.  Higuchi is the first player to book a victory (exorcising her NCAA final demons from last year when she got double-bageled against Florida), and Shin follows suit soon after. Sharma books a win for Vandy over Gordon at 1, Lord has her hands full at 2, and Lampl is in a dogfight at 3, so it's Emily Arbuthnott who clinches a 4-1 Stanford win.  If we lose doubles and need a 4th point, then the path to victory gets a lot murkier, but you'd be happy to take your shot with Melissa Lord or Caroline Lampl, given how well they've been playing. Lampl is technically favored by UTR,  but Rosca took it to her in the second and third sets in Nashville back in February. But Caroline is a different player right now. 

I've said time and time again that our championship hopes will depend on how well Lampl and Arbuthnott played. They were there for us today.  We'll need them tomorrow. 

When is it again?

1:00pm Eastern/10:00am Pacific. It'll be played on the Leighton Family Courts, and you can find the links to the live stream and live stats here: http://www.wakeforestsports.com/ncaatennis/

Not exactly, but pretty darned close.  Didn't get the doubles point, so we had to go to plan B.  Lord indeed had her hands full, but won it in three sets.  Higuchi and Shin cruised in straight sets, as predicted.  Sharma did indeed win in straight sets but Gordon played her tough, taking the first set to a tiebreaker.  The surprise, I guess was Lampl, who cruised to a straight sets win.

The sentence I bolded was prescient.
