    ACC tennis

    too early to crown UNC women as back to back champs? they have the entire team back (literally) from last year and beat #3 UGA yesterday 7-0 without losing a set.

    hoping my one sided loss to a weak self-rated player (which is not factored into your calculation) offsets any nationals adjustment :)

    Year End Ratings

    i'll lower my expectations then :( TBD if that semis adjustment is enough to push me from your 4.46 to 4.50. @schmke i've always wondered if the usta takes into account a nationals result at 40+ vs 18+. obviously if you get that far at 18+ then you are up there with any 4.5 player...

    Year End Ratings

    we lost in the semis and finished 4th at 40+ nationals. i went 3-0 in singles, but honestly the guys that i got matched up with were not all that strong.

    Year End Ratings

    the word "around .1" is what i'm worried about. TR has me at 4.3823 and schmke has me at 4.46 (which doesn't take into account any nationals tweaks to the rating). i'm not eligible to appeal b/c i went to nationals, so i'm going to be very close to 5.0 purgatory.

    USTA State Championship Rainout

    is 2024 mixed states really moving from asheville to greensboro? that would be terrible. everyone likes going to asheville for that tournament.

    2023 Nationals Week 3 Simulation Posted - 40+ 4.5 Men

    i was going to email the TX league coordinator last night about Strecker and how he was able to get a 4.5 rating. i opened the most recent experienced player guidelines and was shocked that the guidelines say that any player ages 41-50 who played division 1 tennis can self-rate as a 4.5 unless...

    2023 Nationals Week 3 Simulation Posted - 40+ 4.5 Men

    i'm really confused as to how Estevam Strecker (yeah, i'll say his name) of Texas was able to self-rate as a 4.5. he's 44 years old and see his bio below. A native of Novo Hamburgo, Brazil, Strecker played collegiate tennis at Auburn from 1999 to 2002. While a Tiger, Strecker claimed 86...

    2023 Nationals Week 3 Simulation Posted - 40+ 4.5 Men

    the guy he was playing was pretty good as well, but the TX guy was in total control of the match. at one moment between points the opponent turned to his teammates at the back of the fence and said "this guy is f*cking good".

    Was I right to leave?

    this is the question that needs to be answered.

    Was I right to leave?

    then you should know better to not ask that question.

    Was I right to leave?

    i guess this was the first time you played against someone who isn't a beginner. anyone with any tennis experience at all would not ask someone to hold a third ball. and anyone with any experience would not agree to it.

    not just nationals, but any post season play.

    Was I right to leave?

    but why did you even ask? this seems like a question from someone who just started playing tennis last week. i thought it was obvious that the expectation is that the third ball just lays at the back fence, on either side. you are aware that a rec league match is not like a professional match...

    Southern's 18 Sectionals...

    i was the singles player for NC. two years ago we only brought 7 to sectionals and lost in the finals. had much more depth this year. looking forward to nationals in AZ.

    Is USTA League 40+ going back to 5 courts?

    they need to go back to the + leagues at 4.5 where two 5.0s can play in a match and you have 2 singles and 3 doubles. this allows more opportunity for 5.0 40+ players to play.

    New Southern Rule for 2024

    a couple of points: - this is yet another way that the usta is reducing opportunities for 5.0 players, particularly those who are 40+. they took away the 40+ leagues several years ago (which I disagreed with strongly) and now 5.0s aren't allowed to play 9.0 mixed. expect an increase in...

    that's not even a picture of this year's team. do some more research instead of making over dramatic stanford boasts that are rarely backed up with results.

    looking for a pair of men's Mizuno Wave Exceed 4 AC shoes

    it's really frustrating b/c the 4 version is my favorite shoe i've ever worn. the 5's fit a whole half size too big. thought i'd be able to find something on amazon or **** but no luck yet.

    looking for a pair of men's Mizuno Wave Exceed 4 AC shoes

    I have worn these shoes for years and love them. I bought a pair of 5's recently and do not like them at all. They fit too big and I don't like the change they made in the tongue. Does anyone know where I can get a pair of size 10's of the 4 model? I've looked online and haven't found any in...

    Southern's 18 Sectionals...

    from personal experience, he has no business playing at the 4.5 level. should have never had his appeal granted from last year.

    Southern's 18 Sectionals...

    in 4.5 NC has two guys that have no business being a 4.5. i'm clueless as to how carmean had his appeal granted last year and equally clueless how he wasn't DQ'd after states. Yu should have also been DQ'd after states, as he's won multiple matches at 5.0. if they win sectionals then i would...

    For those who got bumped up today, what is our eligibility for districts / sectionals / nationals?

    in our area we had the 40 and over open league in 2021. the results are in tennislink but it appears they did not impact ratings. will they impact ratings in 2022?

    For those who got bumped up today, what is our eligibility for districts / sectionals / nationals?

    apparently the reason they got rid of it is b/c teams complained that they didn't have a 5.0 player in a 4.5+ 40+ league. other complaints were that if one team had a ringer 5.0 then the opponent would throw out their worst player and sacrifice them against the ringer. i 100% think these are...
