i blew out my first kid with four names then the next kid defaulted and then i play today at 2:30 against the #1
 
Funny, Brayman, the tournament is in Nashua, NH. Every entrant is from Mass, except for one kid. And he lost 1 and 1 in the 1st rd. Wha? Do people in NH not play tennis much? I know, I know...NE Jrs unite...but something is up with that. Maybe you have an explanation.

Well, good luck, man.

yea, i've noticed that too, almost every player in from MA, i think somewhere around 90 of the top 100 are too.


P.S Brayden, did u switch to the LM instinct? And online it says ur playin the number 8? anyway he's pretty good i've seen him play, uses an extreme power game, not much attention to slice, basically just hammers away.

no no CT players are wicked good if not better than MA players. (at least in 16's). There are so many tournaments comin up for vaca. Anyone doing any?

If it doesnt keep raining here(and matches go according to plan), i have to play three matches today. if i win, of course. and the worst part is, their all gonna be seeds.

Brayden, yea sure that'd be good, just let me know time and place, i should be playing more dubs to get ready for HS anyway. Unfortunatley, i'm going to be away (stupid cousins baptism) for most of my Feb. break. (I will be gone Feb.17- Feb. 21). So i could play anyday this week, friday maybe? or on the 22nd of Feb., from the 23-25 im gonna be playing a tourny in NH. However, like always i'll prolly lose before Sunday so that is a possibility too. Where were u thinking of playing?

oh yea, i forgot

maybe some other tournament, i might be playing one in Easton or something i dono, i age up in July though so.......:sad:
 
Like most lifelong tennis dorks, I have always liked looking at draws....names, places, scores. So you are playing a guy literally named Tony Lamborghini. That is one cool name. Though, you've got to wonder exactly which level of Guidodom the parents came from.

Good luck guys.

ya i saw that i was so close that is the third time i lost to that kid but now i am going to be ranked between like 60-65. I was playing sick this weekend. I am surprised you lost to JEsse. Is he really good.

not really...but his parents were being wicked annoying apparently. he was also pretty annoying, i kinda wanted to hit him. but i refrained.

Semi-Pro
He plays at centre court him and Daniel Caticha i am surprised you lost. But i am playing sick right now that kid double bagled me the last time i played that kid in the final and it went to three sets with the Lambo kid. BUt i beat him 2 and 2 and got 3 games in the final.

well... i won both of my matches today. I won the first 6-2 6-2, i played fairly well, the 2nd was absolutley horrible. I won the first set 6-0 in like 15 minutes, the kid was a definite pusher and in the 2nd set i played horribly, i had been winning by hitting the ball hard and making him move but all of a sudden i kept hitting into the net:sad: . I lost the 2nd 1-6 and in the 3rd i basically "out-pushed" the kid to win 10-6

yea, he looked ok, small but good

I definitley should have played the final, i had a cold the entire weekend but had a 101 fever Sunday. I decided what the hell i might as well play (wanted the points ;) ), after the first set i basically ran out of energy and spent the next hour wheazing (sp?) and chasing after his shots. Ah well, i would've sucked in the final anyway so i wasn't all that dissapointed. Tanna wasn't that good, i figure on a normal day i could beat him 3 and 3. He was wicked annoying though, every time he hit a good serve or won a good point, he would like point at me and pump his fist and yell COOOMMEEEEOOOOOONNNNN and then look up to the crowd. I'm also fairly sure he cheated me out of a game at some point, he was very competitive, lol i was too drugged on ibuprofen to care.

How did ur tourny in FL go?

Semi-Pro
I played ok for the condtions. (hot sun 80's, strong winds, funny bounces). I know i am making excuses but i haven't played outdoors in months and it was really different. I could not but anything away. I didn't know the leveling but found out i played like a meduim level 6.

I won my first match 6-1 6-1 and the kid just tried to outhit me. Not smart i play best against those people. Then i lost 6-1 6-3 to the #1 in the quarters that had played at IMG Bolleterri acedmy (sp?). He was good but i might have beaten him indoors. I made way to many errors probly had 1 winner for 4 errors.

yea i know, i was debating but the one guy was already judging another match and i didn't want to bother him. I forgot to mention last time my opponent was also big on the whole old "Sammy Sosa" thing too ;)

How to handle those people (or how I do at least)...I just stand there and stare at them blankly with no expression on my face as if to say "Are you serious. I basically hate you but I'm not going to be obnoxious about it and sink to your level."
