STANFORD, Calif. – After five consecutive matches on the road, Stanford will be a fixture on The Farm for the next 42 days. The Cardinal begins an eight-match homestand at Taube Tennis Stadium this weekend, when it hosts UC Davis on Friday at 2 p.m. and California on Sunday at 1 p.m. Both matches will be streamed live at streamingtennis.com/Cardinal.
Stanford enters the weekend 7-2 in dual play, coming off a pair of wins at the ITA National Indoor Championships. The Cardinal rebounded from a 4-2 defeat to Virginia with a 4-0 win over Tulane and a 4-1 victory over previous No. 4 Florida last weekend in Chicago.
The latest ITA poll released on Wednesday has Stanford at No. 6, moving up four spots. Sophomore Axel Geller is No. 13, senior Sameer Kumar is No. 31, freshman Alexandre Rotsaert is No. 39 and junior William Genesen is No. 60 in the latest singles rankings.
UC Davis enters the weekend 6-2 overall. Its only losses are to USC (6-1) and Santa Clara (5-2). Prior to the Friday afternoon match on The Farm, rhe Aggies will face Holy Names in Oakland Friday morning, completing a previous match between the two teams that was canceled due to darkness in the middle of January.
California is 2-3 in dual play. Both Stanford and Cal earned 4-3, come-from-behind, victories over USC on the road two weeks ago. The Golden Bears also posted a 4-0 win over Western Michigan.
Sunday's match between the Bay Area rivals, known as the Big Slam, is a nonconference match. The two teams will face each other in a Pac-12 match on April 13 in Berkeley.
Stanford is 5-0 all-time against UC Davis and 94-23 in its storied history with California.
The Cardinal will also host Arizona State, Arizona, UCLA, USC, San Francisco and Cal Poly during its eight-match homestand.
