The regular season is in the books and conference tournament champions have been crowned. With just over a week until its start, Cracked Racquets is ready to take a deep dive into the major storylines of the NCAA tournament.

Several teams have separated themselves from the rest of college tennis, making themselves obvious favorites for an NCAA title run. Let’s take a quick look at who those teams are on the men’s side.

Wake Forest, UCLA, and Ohio State all cruised to their respective conference championships this past weekend. The three schools, a combined 80-6 in dual matches this season, lost a combined one individual match in their nine collective conference tournament wins.

Wake Forest Named Men’s Team of the Year

These three rosters are loaded with talent, featuring thirteen ranked singles players and nine ranked doubles teams between them. The teams have passed every test along the way, and seem to be playing their best tennis just as May approaches.
