I'm already bored, I'm not too interested in events I can't attend :lol:

So fast forward, on to the next season :lol:

As I've said ad nauseam :lol: the most interesting topic next season should be STAN's singles lineup order.

What do you think?

 

[2nd_serve]

Nicole Gibbs
Mallory Burdette
Krista Hardebeck
Stacey Tan
Kritie Ahn
Ellen Tsay

_Can I start a thread and ask for USC??

 

[fantic]

of course you can, but I don't think it's as interesting as STAN's, doesn't warrant a separate thread? On the other hand STAN's lineup should be a NATIONAL topic, no? :lol:

 

[fantic]

Krista at #3, wonder how many bagels will she 'dispensing' next season

 

[2nd_serve]

Yes and no. I don't see much effect on the W-L rate the top of lineup no matter how the top 3 are shuffled.

Stanford has given some preference to playing upper classman at the top when of equal level

 

[fantic]

Yes and no. I don't see much effect on the W-L rate the top of lineup no matter how the top 3 are shuffled.

That's exactly the reason why I said STAN lineup order should be interesting.

Since, they're winning everything anyway :lol:

Next season might be quite boring

If Kristie Ahn ever gets healthy she will be challenging for the top spot. IMO she is more talented than Gibbs.

Which means that Hardebeck could conceivably be at 4. :bolt:

What a 'tragedy' :lol:

For her and also for her hapless opponents

 

[SakiBomb25]

Well this also assumes Kristie Ahn makes a full recovery... we saw that a long time of recovery did not help her ankle heal, so we can't assume she'll even be healthy to play next season. I am hoping she is healthy for NCAA's and that the boot was just for protection, but we'll see.

How good is Hardebeck's classmate? The one from San Diego?

 

[fantic]

Kostas? She won't be a starter, can't really say..haven't really seen her play for a while, but recent results are not encouraging.
She was pretty good though.

Anyway, about the ONLY way I see other teams beat STAN is to recruit TOP foreign talents :lol: That's the 'price' when one team monopolizes top talents

With Kristie Ahn being injured, I am sure they can use someone like Grace Min as an alternate, if she doesn't turn pro

 

[SakiBomb25]

Here's an article about Min back in January. She has good grades... I hope she decides to come to Stanford!

Optimism, but Mixed Results, at the Vanguard

 

[fantic]

I thought it was discussed here already, Min is going to Duke if not turning pro.

Don't get your hopes too high

Don't get your hopes too high

Min going to Duke (if she doesn't go pro) is not 100% but based on talking to the Duke coach I think it's very very very likely

And here is your Stanford incoming freshmen Krista Hardebeck

yeah, she lives there, why would she come all the way to California

 

[fantic]

I saw Grace hugging Ester Goldfeld and high-fiving the Duke coaches after her win yesterday so you never know.

non-Stanford fans, rejoice :lol:

Coming from the one who said Krista was going to UCLA... :lol:

If Duke's coach is saving one scholarship for Grace, it doesn't necessarily mean it is a done deal
