If you weren’t able to follow my daily coverage of the ITA Men’s Division I Team Indoor Championships, my recap of the tournament for the Tennis Recruiting Network can fill that gap. It was an exciting event that I was fortunate to be able to cover in person and I look forward to seeing how the rest of the season plays out as we head to Athens in May for the NCAAs.
The conclusion of the Division I Team Indoor Championships marks the beginning of the computer rankings, with the coaches poll discontinued. There is a new method in place this year, with the coaches polls having no bearing on the initial computer rankings, resulting in some interesting placements right now. Below are the rankings published today, with Ohio State at No. 1 despite their loss in the Team Indoor final to Texas, which is No. 3. Women’s Team Indoor champion Georgia is No. 1, with Team Indoor finalist Ohio State at No. 2. Click on the heading of each ranking to view the full list.

In Naples, 15-year-old Teodor Davidov, who has been something of a celebrity in tennis circles for years now due to his forehand-only playing style, earned his first ATP point this week after qualifying, and has advanced to the quarterfinals with a 6-3, 6-4 win over No. 6 seed Karue Sell(UCLA) of Brazil. Sell had beaten Jack Kennedy in the first round. Fifteen-year-old Michael Antonius also has reached the quarterfinals, beating qualifier Louis Tessa of France 6-3, 2-6, 6-1 today. Other Americans through to the quarterfinals are wild card Hunter Heck(Illinois), Evan Bynoe and Mwendwa Mbithi.
In Palm Coast, 17-year-old wild card Carlota Moreno, playing in her first Pro Circuit event, is through to the quarterfinals after beating No. 3 seed Maria Fernanda Navarro in the first round and fellow junior Capucine Jauffret today 6-2, 6-7(1), 7-6(5) in match that lasted more than three hours. She will play unseeded Emily De Oliveira(Florida) next. No. 6 seed Bella Payne is the third American in the quarterfinals.
The weather has been bad in Las Vegas, cold and wet, with today’s second round unfinished. But two teens have booked their spots in the quarterfinals, with 16-year-old wild card Melije Clarke taking out No. 2 seed Eryn Cayetano(USC) 6-3, 6-4 today to reach her first women’s pro circuit quarterfinal above the W15 level. No. 3 seed Julieta Pareja, who turned 17 yesterday, defeated qualifier Snow Han(USC) of China 6-0, 6-3. Qualifier Kelly Keller(Arkansas) is also through to the quarterfinals.
I’m usually in Midland for the Dow Tennis Classic WTA 125, but it moved from November to February for this year, which conflicted with my coverage of the Men’s Team Indoor. So I will not be seeing Friday’s quarterfinal match between 18-year-old wild card Anna Frey and 2024 NCAA singles champion Dasha Vidmanova(Georgia) of the Czech Republic, the No. 2 seed.
Frey, a freshman at North Carolina, defeated No. 6 seed Eli Mandlik 7-5, 6-2 in the first round and Kayla Day 6-4, 3-6, 6-3 in the second round to reach her first pro circuit quarterfinal above the W15 level.
After No. 8 seed Frances Tiafoe beat two-time Kalamazoo 18s champion Zachary Svajda, a qualifier, 6-4, 3-6, 7-5, he will face another two-time Kalamazoo 18s champion in No. 4 seed Learner Tien(USC). Tien defeated defending champion Miomir Kecmanovic of Serbia 6-4, 6-7(4), 7-6(5) to set up a rematch with Tiafoe, who won the Kalamazoo 18s title in 2015. They met in the first round of the US Open in 2023, after Tien had earned a wild card after winning Kalamazoo for the second time, with Tiafoe posting a 6-2, 7-5, 6-1 victory.
