I was asked by FIDM to start covering Notre Dame men’s tennis for Irish UNDerground back in late January. Since then, I’ve been to every home match and racked up around 45 hours at the Eck Tennis Pavilion watching the men play. I can honestly say too that I enjoyed every single one of those…

This weekend is going to be a busy one at Notre Dame. Aside from the softball, baseball, men’s lacrosse, and the Blue-Gold Game, everyone’s invited to come watch Notre Dame men’s tennis host the BIG EAST Championship Tournament.

Notre Dame has seen its fair share of student-athlete siblings over the years. Julie and Kenny Sabacinski are another one of those pairs. She’s a junior on the women’s tennis team, while he’s a freshman on the men’s. They grew up in Plantation, Florida and attended American Heritage High School. They both began playing tennis at…

I sat down with freshmen Quentin Monaghan and Alex Lawson of the nationally-ranked Notre Dame men’s tennis team for a Q&A. Monaghan is from Chatham, NJ and currently plays the No. 2 Singles spot. Lawson is from Tempe, AZ and primarily plays the No. 2 Doubles spot along with partner junior Billy Pecor. (Junior Ryan…

How about some fun facts about Switzerland? It borders 5 countries: Germany, France, Italy, Austria, and Liechtenstein. Anywhere in Switzerland, you are never more than 13 miles away from a swimmable body of water. Louis Chevrolet, the founder of Chevrolet Motors, was born in Switzerland and lived there until he was 9 years old. The…

College tennis as a spectator sport is underrated. I realized this while watching #27 Notre Dame take on #13 Illinois on Tuesday. Actually, I think I realized it a few weeks ago when Notre Dame took down Michigan, but Tuesday night reiterated it. The intensity of the matches was nearly palpable. Notre Dame won the doubles…

Thirteen Fighting Irish athletic teams took to the court, field, diamond, track, ice, pool and piste, in what was most definitely one of the busiest weekends of the year for Notre Dame athletics. On campus, the track & field programs competed in day two of the Alex Wilson Invitational, men’s lacrosse made its 2013 home…

As junior Billy Pecor was playing the match point against No. 21 Michigan (and after over three and a half hours of play), the whole team stood on the adjacent court eagerly waiting for a victory. Pecor won the point, threw his racket up in the air, and the team rushed over to congratulate him.…

Last weekend, men’s tennis traveled to Norman, Okla. to play Harvard and Memphis. “Last weekend was certainly a tale of different days,” associate head coach Ryan Sachire said. “All of us were disappointed with the result on Saturday against Harvard, not simply because we lost, but rather how we competed during certain situations in the…

It looks like we have some new social media stars on the rise. @NDFabFive, a twitter account run by the five freshmen on the Notre Dame men’s tennis team, has been gaining fame over the last few weeks in the world of Notre Dame athletics both online and offline. The five members of the “Fab…

Students have returned, classes are back in session and the winter sports season is in full swing. If you’re going to be on campus this weekend, there is no shortage of Irish sporting events to check out. The tennis teams look to kick off their spring schedule on the right foot, track & field hosts…

A couple of weeks ago, on Saturday of the Tom Fallon Invitational, I walked into the Eck Tennis Center at Notre Dame to pick up the day’s results. Fortunately I was a little bit early, and I got to see the last few games of a doubles match. It was the first ND tennis match…

This coming weekend, nine members of the Notre Dame men’s tennis team will square off against some stiff competition here in South Bend at the Tom Fallon Invitational (another four will be traveling to California to compete in the Napa Valley Classic). For those of you who don’t know who Tom Fallon was, you ought…

Notre Dame sent a record number of athletes to the 2012 Summer Olympics. None of those athletes were there for table tennis; however, that all may change in the near future. Monday evening marked the First Annual Student-Athlete Advisory Council (SAAC) Table Tennis Tournament. (That’s a mouthful.) Athletes from the football, hockey, men’s and women’s…

In July, University Vice President/Director of Athletics Jack Swarbrick participated in a Google+ Hangout, discussing the state of Fighting Irish Athletics with representatives from several Notre Dame online fan communities. Tonight at 7:00 pm ET, Swarbrick joins Fighting Irish Digital Media for a second Hangout. Due to an unfortunate technical glitch, the host computer disconnected…

While I’m no sports historian, I think it’s safe to assume that Sept. 14-16, 2012, has to be one of the most successful weekends in the history of the Fighting Irish. From cross-country to soccer to football, it feels like Notre Dame has not stopped winning since Friday afternoon. Here’s a recap of the highlights:…
