Can I try again to end this argument over Don's NTRP rating? Here is my record:
http://tennislink.usta.com/leagues/...00FD81FEE0A322B5847B4A4918BF6E3D3C&CYear=2011
4.0: 5-1. Only loss to a guy who's been one of the top 4.0s for years and has been the #1 rated 4.0 in Middle States multiple times over the last 10 or so years.
4.5: 0-1, but a competitive match where I had 6 set points in the first set (then had a minor let down in the 2nd...).
My previous years' records are similar. I have an undisputable proven public record. I am a solid 4.0 player. It is not a question. Don beat me every time we've played. The last time we played a competitive set, he won 6-1. Whether you idiots who think you can judge from a camera video laying on the ground want to believe it or not, Don is (at least) a 4.5 level player. Period. Don says 5.0, but I'm not in a position to judge 4.5 vs 5.0 because I'm not good enough.
No offense, but Dozu(Don) has judged many people based on video alone. I'm not sure why he would be exempt from others doing the same. And I'm not singling him out....many, many people do this all the time on here. I know I have, even though I've never posted a comment about someone's rating. There are probably hundreds of threads where people post some version of "guess the NTRP". So, I guess Dozu and the rest of us are all idiots.
That being said, it is nice to hear from someone Dozu has played....You aren't one of his 'old dogs' by chance? lol.
