Tennis Channel/USTA College Tennis Top 25 Rankings: Mar. 27
Ohio State returned to No. 1 for the men's game, and Georgia is staying strong in the top spot for the women.
The ninth edition of the 2019 Tennis Channel/USTA College Tennis Top 25 Rankings were released on Wednesday, and a familiar program regained its spot atop the men's rankings.
Ohio State got star junior JJ Wolf back this week, and he was able to help the Buckeyes take the top spot back. Ohio State beat both Michigan and Michigan State to earn the ranking back, and it helped that Texas lost to USC. That result caused the Longhorns to slide to No. 3 in the rankings, but the Trojans are now back in the Top 10. It'll be interesting to see how they do the rest of the year, as they are clearly hitting their stride now.

On the women's side, Georgia is still going strong at No. 1. The Bulldogs have been remarkable all year, and they've done nothing to warrant losing their position. Perhaps the only major result of the week was South Carolina knocking off Vanderbilt. The Commodores were the No. 6 heading into the week, but they are now the No. 9.
