Enlightening...I dont think I will ever see any one better than who we played....unless its on tv or I am sitting in the stands watching and if I do they will have beaten me so quickly I won't eve know what happened. It amazes me that that level exists and that there is levels well above it. Two things stood out to me: The girl moved extremely well, she looked to be late 30s early 40s and pretty sure played D1 or ITFs until she found a real job coaching, she ran down a lot of winner balls...especially volleys. 2nd thing is the placement of serve and shot. The guy (prob a couple of years out college) was around 6'4 so he hit a lot of heavy kick above my head and I'm 6'1 and a heavy/hard first serve. Not something I see at any time just playing 4.0. The girl didnt have a killer serve but she hit with a lot kick and she could hit spots easily especially out wide on the deuce side.
I did get pegged by a line drive overhead that was headed to the fence
My partner was no slouch but I was no help to my partner from Northwestern, we took the L at 1-0
