On the national scene, Wake Forest University is cruising at #1 with Ohio State still at #2 and Virginia at #3 for some weeks. TCU jumped up to #4 after their strong win over Baylor. UCLA is now #5 after a huge win over USC.
In singles, Mikael Torpegaard fell to #2 in the nation after losing to Illinois's Aleks Vukic on Sunday. The nation's new #1 singles player is TCU's #1 Cameron Norrie, who's on quite a run, having beaten seven straight Big 12 players who are highly ranked in the nation. Led by Norrie, TCU won that league last week. Among Big Ten players, JJ Wolf of Ohio State made a big jump up the rankings to #41 this week:
#2 Mikael Torpegaard, Ohio State
#5 Aleks Vukic, Illinois
#9 Hugo Di Feo, Ohio State
#37 Strong Kirchheimer, Northwestern
#39 Aron Hiltzik, Illinois
#41 JJ Wolf, Ohio State
#70 Matic Spec, Minnesota
#71 Konrad Zieba, Northwestern
#80 Jathan Malik, Michigan
