Just to look quickly at the matchups by UTR since I just saw Bobby Knight (the college tennis one) put those on his feed, here's how things stand:

1. Ma (10.99) vs. Sleeth (11.06): toss-up (OU +0.07)
2. Yepifanova (10.84) vs. Carmen Corley (10.48): Stanford favored (+0.36)
3. Blake (10.71) vs. Ivana Corley (10.46): Stanford favored (+0.25)
4. Houghton (10.09) vs. Guzman (10.50): OU favored (+0.41)
5. Xu (10.72) vs. Pisareva (10.46): Stanford favored (+0.26)
6. Choy (10.47) vs. Staker (10.49): toss-up (OU +0.02)


Chanta is a 11.02 while Gordon is a 10.67 (though Gordon's UTR has to come with a brobdingnagian asterisk due to the lack of competitive singles matches in the last year). So you can see how costly it is for OU to play us without Chanta. And on the other side, you can see how we might look if we swapped Houghton for Gordon, making the only court where OU is a clear UTR favorite into a slight Stanford lean. 

Brings into focus how critical doubles is, too. If you give OU the toss-ups because of home court, then doubles could decide it. At the same time, it clarifies that talent-wise, this is a very winnable match.
