(Texas) A&M was probably the second-toughest loss I've ever experienced in my 15 years. That was a tough one. |
He may try to go to school in Poland. He was a major part of our greatest year and obviously, if he had come back, we'd be a top 20 team this year. There had to be a deadline. A lot of coaches might have done everything they could to convince him to come back, but I felt that because he was still wavering at such a late date, if he's not sure he should be here than he probably shouldn't be here. |
He needed to pass 24 hours for the year to compete in January and he needed to take 15 hours this fall to do that. It's been a very interesting last couple of weeks ... because Radek was bouncing back and forth on whether he would come back. Finally, I had to make the decision and set a deadline to do what's best for the team, because one player is never more important than the team. |
I thought he played a very good match against a player (Armando) that's been ranked in the top 100 in the world. He hung in there well. |
It's just one match at a time. They're all going to be very tough. |
This is probably the toughest the conference has been. If we're not playing well, we could go 0-7. |
This was a tough match for us. It was one we had to have. |
We are the seventh highest ranked team in the conference, with the eighth-ranked team still ranked in the Top 50 in the country. |
We competed well. Baylor obviously is good, but I'm pleased with the way we fought. And to have two freshmen go out and get wins, it shows how they're improving. |
We have a tough weekend ahead. |
We're happy we got through it. Troy is a dangerous team with some talented players. Troy kept us out there a long time, and we were fortunate to win. |
We're really excited about having this level of tennis at Texas Tech. This is the best display of tennis Lubbock has ever seen. |
