yep, and for some reasons, the storms keep all the Sooners out of the tournament as well...

I have a sneaky feeling that coach P.S. will recruit another incoming foreigner in January like he's done last year.. but still who's #1 ? to me I don't see a real dominant player on that team...

Ya, how disappointing for them. Poor travel planning it sounds like. Most players got in Tuesday ahead of the storm and didn't wait till the day before to travel, too risky. Minimizes missed classes, but in this case, didn't work out.

[Satsuma Illini]

Apparently the Illini just barely made it in. Doubles match was moved to 6:30 pm Thursday. Feel bad for the OU team.

I'll take Berkowitz.

[SoCal10s]

wow.. so many upsets already in both men's and women's singles.. 2nd and 3rd seeds are out..

I told you Anderson from UCLA is good. This girl could have gone pro. She could win the NCAA singles crown come May.

I never questioned her talent. You questioned the seeding, which was easily justified.

Can't wait to see the result of the Cal Frosh against Anderson. Embree doesn't get rolled 1&1 in 100k's, let alone college tourneys. This Hungarian girl might be really good.

[dennis10is]

What are they doing? Playing rich kids tennis while the North East suffers.

Don't they care? hehehe

Are they going to hold a candle light vigil. Why couldn't they donated the electricity to those in need.

The USTA could have used the indoor courts to house peope displaced by Sandy!

Whew! now that I've written this, I feel so morally superior. Also, this weekend, I will donate one can of campbell soup and feel so charitable. Lastly, I will say to two strangers, "I feel horrible for those folks, God bless them" and know that I've done my Christian best.

I'm such a nice person!! I love me!

Anderson plays Zsofi Susanyi and she is a sophomore not a freshman. She made the semifinals of NCAA's last year.

Yes, you are right. I googled cals roster and somewhere it still said Fr.

She is more of a seeding anomaly. Her ITA rank is 5....and no seed?

[Satsuma Illini]

My prediction of Jenkins is on so far... Felt like he was due for some reason. He's well-rested after Cunha's retiring so can he beat a Battle-tested Fanselow?

That name is so awesome. Sebastian Fanselow. It's like something Danielle Steele would think up.

Singh from uga just hit tweener winner. Wearing fed 2009 us open night shirt. Has to be the shirt. Epic.
