Right. I agree. I’m very self critical and will occasionally berate myself. I am sorry that I act this way. I am not doing it because it’s something I’m proud of or anything. I think I just hold everything in at work and in other parts of my life, so it’s sometimes nice to have an emotional...

Oh dear. I did laugh reading “lowlife professional captain” tho so thank you for that.

I’d rather lose and improve than play down I guess. I never wanna go to nationals LOL. Ever.

ahahahaha

would anyone even be proud of this? It’s like me beating my little siblings in monopoly. Did I enjoy the ego boost? Duh! Was it fair? Hell naw hahahah

I’m no statistician but I don’t think this is how it works. the computer expects the strong 4.0 to win so it doesn’t give the 3.5 player as much credit for this win as it would for having a weaker partner and winning against a stronger pair. It’s better to play with weaker people and win.

Agree. Wait for ball to hit ground. Not difficult.

Messaged you LOL

Fair. I never miss the return tho so if I play and they stop. 2nd serve

LOL is there really that much of a distinction between 4.0 and 4.5… ? LMAO. All of em act this way

Probz me. I’m working on behaving better tho haha. I’ve already made great strides

As a short person. I am notoriously bad at calling serves out. many times server sees ball way better than I do, especially the farther back I go. i tell server to please correct me if they see ball out and many do.

id award point to opponent just me

I know someone whose LinkedIn tagline states “USTA captain of the year” .

LMAO. Love this reply

Hello. Singles is too hard. Like no

I’d never default a match if person was in transit. Especially if all players willing to proceed. Now if I had someone with a babysitter waiting at home who really couldn’t stay, I’d go with that player decision. Captains who default courts forget that we pay USTA to play and not the other way...

My friend won a match with broken strings. The lack of tension in both her racket and brain cells led to absolute domination like you wouldn’t believe. so it would be wise to let your opponent swap out STAT! ( so my friend just didn’t have another racket but she did play brilliantly with...

Maybe! But being mean hasn’t done much good for me in the long run. I’m sure I’ll be in a mood soon and talk smack to his face

Hi everyone thanks for responses!! I definitely change some information to protect this persons identity. I clearly was feeling very upset when I posted this and still agree that this person is not well equipped for captaining. I also want to consider what motivates this person to act in this...

Why not!? You do you boo

True. I suppose I should have a little more compassion considering how deeply he values USTA. It’s everything.

There is a USTA captain in my area who should never be allowed to captain again. He just got suspended from playing, again … for the 4th TIME!!! Yet, he continues to captain 13 teams across 3 areas just this summer. I mean this guy defaces tennis courts, humiliates his own players, screams at...
