Tennis Channel /USTA College Tennis Top 25 — January 29, 2020

 

ORLANDO, Fla., January 29, 2020 – To be the best you have to beat the best. So goes the saying and the first Tennis Channel / USTA College Tennis Top 25 of 2020. 

 

The defending NCAA champion Texas men and Stanford women sit atop the polls as they did at the conclusion of the 2019 season, the Longhorns having taken their first NCAA crown and the Cardinal their record 20th. And indeed, both teams began their seasons in impressive fashion, scoring two 4-0 victories in their respective ITA Kickoff Weekends regionals (Texas over Indiana and Florida State; Stanford over USF and Washington State).

 

The first poll also reflects a number of eye-catching results from the Kickoff Weekend. Click to read: the women’s recap; the men’s recap. 

 

The SEC leads all conferences with seven teams ranked in the men’s poll, followed by five from the ACC and four each from the Big 12 — which has the most teams in the Top 10, with three — and the Pac 12. 

 

The strength on the women’s side is bi-coastal, with the Pac 12 and ACC each landing six teams in the Top 25, with the Atlantic Coast claiming four in the Top 10. 

 

Each team’s point total, specified below, is the sum of its ranking points from the USTA’s panel of 14 voters (listed below). Each voter ranked 25 teams from Nos. 1 to 25, with the first-place team receiving 25 points and the last place team receiving one. For control, the highest and lowest outlying ranking for each team on the ballot was removed. First-place votes were not tallied. The maximum points a team can earn this week is 300.
