Two weeks left.

The season is winding down, and most teams will have their final opportunity to add players this week.

Most of the playoff races have been decided, with just a few meaningful matches left to be played. In 4.0, SAP takes on the undefeated Westside Phoenix this week. A loss by SAP would put them in a second place tie with an Acers team which has a fairly easy closing schedule. A blowout loss to the Phoenix could leave Goodwin's squad on the outside looking in.

The Katy Coaches dropped their match to GTAC last week in 4.5. James Weaver and Aaron Layman were missing from the Coaches' lineup. Mathematically, they're still in the hunt, as the Deucebags have dropped enough lines to make their season-ender a potential winner-take-all battle. The Coaches will have to clean up against disappointing Ssshhhwings first.

The big battle of the week takes place in contentious 4.5 Div III. The Hurricanes III sit atop the division with a 5-1 mark with two teams breathing down their neck. 4-1 Copperfield dealt the 'Canes their only loss in their first meeting, but both teams have strengthened themselves since. The Hurricanes went with John Grego and Roberto Narajos in singles the first time...I have a feeling their singles will be stronger on Thursday. Even a 3-2 loss for the Hurricanes will essentially sew up a playoff berth for them with Copperfield and Westheimer Indoor facing each other in the season's final week while the 'Canes waltz past Lost Forest.

  1. copperfield's mcmullen and martinez needs to play singles to take at least 1 singles line. bharath is solid but definitely beatable. as for ahmed, don't get caught up with the drama queen.

  2. Mike Salinas looks like Copperfield's top singles player, with only a close loss to Antoine on his resume.

  3. Ummm, players that are Salinases age don't go from being mediocre to really good all of a sudden. Look at his results last year.

  5. salinas would be a great matchup against sarosh. that herky jerky, chip & charge game of salinas will fustrate ahmed. ahmed does not have a good passing shot, nor likes to play net. salinas wins 6-4, 6-3

  6. I will tell you this, I am sick of hearing about the same old same old. I am a believer now regarding the Katy Coaches. I find it quit satisfying when thinking of the idea that this upcoming week everything is left out on the courts. No excuses, winner takes all. Deucebags tread lightly from the looks of things the Katy Coaches are bringing the pain.
