Dual match season kicks off today with UC Davis coming to town today at 2pm!

The outcome shouldn't be in any doubt, but the most interesting information we'll see is what the lineup looks like. Under the rules, you need to set your lineup in order of ability, and you can only move a player one line per match, though injuries are a wild card. Given that our next match after Davis is ITA Kick-Off Weekend, what we see today should be Lele's best guess as to what our lineup ought to be.
Normally I like to do more substantive previews of dual matches, focus on matchups, and the like. But if this isn't a breezy 7-0 win like usual against Davis, we've got some real problems. This is a warmup. Now, sometimes it's interesting to see who treats it like a warmup and thus struggles when they shouldn't, and who brings it regardless, but the real news coming out of this match should be what the singles lineup is and who the doubles pairs are.
