Since we never switch to fresh balls like the pros do (in USTA), the balls will slow considerably as the match goes on. As an aggressive baseliner this means switching gears to becoming more comfortable with extended rallies. Your opponent will usually play better in the second as they have...

Some 4.3X (on TR) players bumped to 5.0 on our team. We did make it to nationals semis however.

When Nationals takes place in 100 degree heat outdoors in Arizona in October when it’s 50 degrees in Seattle, the hot weather states have a big advantage.

Yes it was a great run. It’s all about the journey. You get a silver plate that’s actually plastic and has a made in china sticker on the bottom, haha. The crystal trophies of the past were much better.

Lost 2-3 to Southern. Well played by them. 2nd place not too shabby

Haha that’s right. Craziness to be back. Thanks!!

Southern wins

PNW beats #1 seed and “favorite” NorCal. We are in the finals!! Southern and ******* tied 2-2 with grinding singles match

Yes, he was 4.3 on tennis record last I checked, yet 8.9 utr in singles and 8.6 utr in doubles. That dynamic rating does not pass the sniff test at all. There are some players in particular on another team who we played in sectional finals who are new to the area and dynamics likely don’t...

Tons of drama, PNW in the semifinals

So called favorite teams: New England 0-2 and SoCal 1-2.

Airbnb with the team! Hot tub + pool. Hit up in and out for a burger and fries when your team is eliminated or if you’re a doubles player, it’s super close to the facility. Sonoran hot dogs to be found. Amazing Mexican cuisine but have to drive to Glendale or phoenix for the good stuff. Desert...

Disagree. These players aren’t mentally weak but have weaknesses that people told them forever to fix: Roddick: fix his terrible backhand Coco: fix her terrible forehand Murray: fix his passive gamestyle Gilbert came in and told them that these things are all fine and I’m going to maximize...

Yes the caveat is coming to net at the right time has the highest % of points won at the ATP level. At the baseline players have won majors only winning 49% of points. Djokovic highest win percentage at the baseline at 55%. There’s a specific approach shot that has the highest win percentage at...

There’s plenty of players that could attack the second serve but don’t because of mindset. Heck I was one of them. You drive it deep to their longer backswing shot down the middle. This puts the percentages on your side early in the point. Pretty easy to understand. Funny how the data shows...
