March 15, 20241 yr Coach put a walk-on at line 6 singles today just for funsies. UH has won only 1 match all season
March 17, 20241 yr 4-0 win over UCF today. Zeynalova hasn't played in 4 matches, and #1 OKST is up next. If she can't go against OKST, we don't have a realistic chance to win that one.
March 22, 20241 yr Zeynalova can’t go today against OKST, so She must be seriously injured. This match in all likelihood will decide the Big12 title
March 22, 20241 yr Author Saw Saby rooting on her team on the sidelines and yeah, that will hurt Texas' chances today.
March 22, 20241 yr Texas takes the doubles point! We needed that point a lot more than OKST did to have a chance at winning today.

March 22, 20241 yr OKST wins 4 out of 6 first sets in singles. They are now in the drivers seat to win this match
March 22, 20241 yr OKST wins 4-3 and most likely clinched the Big12 title by defeating Texas today. Hopefully Zeynalova can get healthy by tournament time because we won’t do anything without her. Good news is she was seen walking around without any visible injury on the sideline today.

Tanya fought hard
March 24, 20241 yr OKST beat OU today 4-1. That was their last real hurdle this season, so OKST all but wrapped up the outright Big12 title today. Texas def. KState 4-0 today, but still no Zeynalova.
March 28, 20241 yr Texas tennis Twitter didn't show the 5 minute argument that ensued after this match point.
March 30, 20241 yr Texas def. ISU 4-1. ISU went from an elite 8 team last year to a 2-14 team this year. They didn't want to pay their coach a fair salary so he left and now they are a disaster.
April 4, 20241 yr Still no Zeynalova today against Tech. At this point, I’ll just assume she’s done for the year. but it’s very odd seeing her walk around like normal with no visible injury. Could be mental health related who knows. Regardless, any outside chance of winning the championship is gone without her in the lineup. The pressure is really on OKST to win it all this year because not only does OKST host the Big12 tournament, they also will host the quarterfinals, Semi finals, and finals of the NCAA tournament. If they can’t win the championship this season, it would be a major disappointment.

April 4, 20241 yr 36 minutes ago, someguy said: it's an injury I know in your position you don’t want to provide too much, but can you speak to timeline at all?
April 12, 20241 yr Zeynalova is at least tentatively on the lineup card today against TCU. Well find out in about 40 minutes if she really takes the court
April 12, 20241 yr Texas takes the doubles point, but Zeynalova was pulled from the doubles lineup. Singles next.
April 14, 20241 yr Texas concluded the regular season with a 4-0 win over Baylor. Still no Zeynalova today, so whatever injury she sustained a couple months ago, was season ending. As I predicted pre-season, OKST won the Big12 title outright. Big 12 tournament takes place later this week.
April 17, 20241 yr Still hopeful that Zeynalova can play postseason There's video of her doing cardio on the Instagram page and she's been in the prelim singles lineup for the latest matches only to get switched out after the doubles point (which Texas wins most of the time)

Are they a national title contender? Or more like a sweet 16 kind of team? I know it was up and down for a while but for those who get to see a lot of tennis, where are they now after stringing wins together and getting healthy-ish?
April 17, 20241 yr TCU won their first round match against KState today 4-3 and it lasted over 4 hours. KState has filed protest against TCU for possible lineup stacking. Texas will play TCU tomorrow in the quarterfinals unless KState wins their protest
April 18, 20241 yr WOW! The Big12 ruled in favor of KState and overturned TCU's victory because of their lineup shuffle. Texas will now play KState tomorrow at 3pm. https://gofrogs.com/news/2024/4/17/womens-tennis-tcu-match-overturned.aspx
April 18, 20241 yr Author Looks like Sabina played doubles today but I don’t see her in the singles lineup. Baby steps!
April 18, 20241 yr Yeah Texas won the doubles point and Zeynalova played, but her set didn’t finish and she was pulled from singles. It’s still so freaking windy in just like yesterday. What a horrible site selection to host the Big12 and NCAA championships
April 18, 20241 yr KState wins 3 out of 6 first sets. We’re fucking around against a bad team. It’s windy, and KState is fighting harder through it than we are right now Edited April 18, 20241 yr by perfectchaos007
April 18, 20241 yr Texas def. KState 4-0, but 4 singles matches went the distance to a third set. We'll need to play much better tomorrow against OU to avoid the upset.

April 18, 20241 yr Listening to Joffee's post match interview, he said he will ask Zeynalova if she's good to play tomorrow and implied the ball is in her court so to speak. So, at least we know its not the coaches or trainers keeping her off the court.

I know it was up and down for a while but for those who get to see a lot of tennis, where are they now after stringing wins together and getting healthy-ish? To answer this question and @BRLA question- Texas with Zeynalova is a dark horse and can contend with every team. Texas has four losses on the year- UCLA, Stanford, Oklahoma State (twice) The loss to UCLA can be overlooked as Texas only had four healthy players. The other losses have all been 4-3. The first loss against OK State, Chavatipon served for the match multiple times. The second loss, Texas was without Zeynalova and the loss came down to a third set. I do have concerns without Zeynalova. Even though Lieberman has performed admirably stepping in (especially in doubles), there's not been any line 6 win that has made me go "Wow, she'll be competitive against a top 10 team." Texas is not the only team without its top player. Defending Champ UNC has gone without its top player Reese Brantmeier since January. Currently Texas should be around a six seed. If the rankings hold, Texas is slated to host one of the California schools (UCLA, Cal, USC) in the super regionals. A huge possibility could be A&M who has somehow found a way to get Carson Branstine back on the roster even though she has played pro tournaments the whole year and 'graduated' last season.

We’re not one of the top 4 teams, so just to get to the final 4, even with a healthy Zeynalova, would require an upset. To win a championship they would need to pull off 2 more upsets. It’s a long shot with or without Zeynalova, so if you want me to give you a number I would give Texas a 5% of a national Championship with Zeynalova and 0% without her. With her, I think we are likely an elite 8 team with a chance to make the final 4. Without her, we are a likely sweet 16 team with a shot at making the elite 8. Thats my honest assessment Edited April 18, 20241 yr by perfectchaos007
