Wimby update... don't want to give too much away for folks not tuning in so I'll refrain from major details.

Bad first round upset on the mens side (IMHO)... starting to wonder what happend to my fellow nutmeg state player!, WTF!

Some unfortunate drama in VikA's match

Fed-hed is looking to be on par in his first round.

I've got Del Potro to win Wimby, just like I had him to win the AO and FO.

I can't believe my own eyes... sun for the entire week. I'm thinking of demoing these two rackets while I have a chance at actually using them.

Gamma T-6 http://www.tennis-warehouse.com/desc...GAMMA-GT6.html

Gamma T-7 http://www.tennis-warehouse.com/desc...GAMMA-GT7.html

Both of them are lighter and flexier than the Fischer M-Pros, not as cheap though.

It's all about the open string pattern.

I apologize to whoever it was that texted me yesterday and wanted a sub for USTA, but after 5 hours of Kendo I was exhausted. I got home and couldn't even move. I think I lost about 30lbs in one day.

food coma. is topaz out of school duties for the next 6 months? is she hanging out at skyline full time now? most importantly will she bring about wakefield this thursday for me to hit?

topaz -- are you on summer vacation yet? if so -- how about doing something nice for once and bringing me lunch. i'm thinking seafood bisque from crisfield's.

not that i'm watching ladies tennis but from this year's wimbledon -- some new faces i haven't seen before.

TFM/Alice -- either of you guys around for a potential hit thei evening? Thinking maybe a hit over @ baker park depending on courts and what time I can make back up to upper MoCo/Fredneck.

let me know!

jrp, just responded to your email.

hey tfm! if you'll play with jrp in mount airy tonight, i'll play with your kids! i'm serious. jrp, as much as i'd like to play, i just don't think that hitting with me would in any way help to prepare you for your match...it would kinda be like trouncing your preschool-aged kid sister in checkers to prepare for your grandmaster chess tournament, ya know? but like all kid sisters everywhere, i'm totally game if you can't find anyone else!

PurePrestige · 06-22-2009, 04:56 PM

Hey guysss, I feel like i've been so isolated from TWMAC. Now that i'm not at school I hardly have time to keep up with the fast paced thread!
However, I am in the area all the time folks

. I live in Arlington down the road from JRK. I need to play alot alot more tennis this summer. If anyone wants to play I can play almost any weekend, and weeknights though I am never sure what time I get off work.
Additionally, Next week I have the whole week off, so I would be down to play some high quality tennis!

Just ordered large order from TW so I have string since I broke 3 sets of string in past week. (and some nike gear Sup).

Also, Shcmad since you are still jetlagged and difficult to get ahold of, hit me up whenever you wanna hit this week. I have vehicular transportation.

JRstriker12 · 06-22-2009, 05:15 PM

I had a good match and a good win tonight. (Team lost 1-4 though) Playing a lefty on the slick courts of the 4 Seasons.

He opted to serve first. I had a couple of ad-out's but I kept coughing up errors on his lefty serve to my backhand. He held. I held my serve pretty easily.

About 6 games in, I realized I won more points on his serve if I simply got the ball in play and it was deep - no need to hit any screaming shots - just high, deep, an in. Did that and I got the break. I won that set 6-4.

Started the next set off by breaking him. I held then Broke again. He never broke my serve. Won the second set 6-3...... Frak!! I must have been dazed. I reported the score 6-4, 6-4...... oh well. A win is a win.

Best shot of the match. I hit a short ball and he goes DTL to my back hand. I do a Monfils sprawl and slide - hit a lunging, no-look, backhand stab that ended up as a deep lob. (I thought that ball was going to land in Kansas - had no idea where it what going when I hit it). I waited for him to smash it... and he netted the ball.

zapvor · 06-22-2009, 05:20 PM

^who is this PurePrestige guy butting in our thread? oh i remember him now. i am hitting friday at quincy park if you wanna meet up

good win JRS! i dont see you doing the monfils, but i love those kind of shots too-when you just barely get to the ball and take a stab at it, not even knowing what shot it is...and win the point.
