This Week's Headliners

Here's a look at what's on the docket for this Thursday (it's Tuesday already!):

Probably the biggest match of the week comes in the 5.0 division, with Lakeside taking on undefeated Willowfork. Lakeside will reportedly be without Aadrian Hasker, so the question of who will replace him in the singles lineup is an important one. Laurence Sombito? Greg Jones? Your guess is as good as mine.

In 4.5 there are a few matches with playoff implications. According to tennislink, the Big Bangers and GTAC have two matches scheduled (finishing one up, I assume), so that may shed a lot of light on who is the potential wild card team from that division.

Also, the Katy Coaches continue to hang on by a thread, and will have to beat early-season surprise No Way Out to stay in the hunt. I'll go with Karl's guys to win this week.

Finally, Ssshhhwings and the Taylor HS Gypsies square off. Will John Kim be in the singles lineup? Is he better than his first outing might indicate? Will rookie of the year candidate Juan Muhala bounce back this week? I think Rothe's guys will take it.

Lastly, in 4.0 GTAC takes on Lance Loken's Copperfield team. I won't be surprised to see some interesting developments in this one.

  3. I agree NWO is going down against the Coaches.

  4. @Chris Freeman already has an offer letter out to them. The only real question is if they can cheat well enough to fit into the Hurricane mindset.

  5. Pete and Alex are offering a special lesson series for folks who are used to winning by playing well. I bet they can have the Ags corrupted in time for USTA 4.0 Nationals next year.

  6. it does not matter if coaches win or lose against nwo. they still have to beat lakeside as well to be 6-2. remember, it's not top two from each division. there's only 3 wildcards. nwo will have to beat coaches, lakeside estates twice and will lose to lakeside cc, to be 6-2. nwo control their own destiny. coaches has the second best team in div1, but the early upset took them out of playoff contention

  7. there's a strong possibility that three teams in div2 and div5 all end up with 6-2 record.

  8. Then wouldn't you say the HTA did a good job of balancing the flights. Sure, there are a couple of flights with very weak teams, but I prefer that HTA considers geographic locations when putting together the flights.

    I wouldn't want to drive to Sienna or Katy to play if I didn't play in either of those areas. Would you?

  19. Mr. Nobody,

    I was on the ATP Beer Pong tour for 3 years, and I'm only 21. Can I join your 4.0 team if you show me how to fill it out since I don't speak english or write so good?

  26. LOL. I think that the 9:36 post was a prediction, not a result. Peter loves to post results ASAP and none are up.

    Of course, you could post details and prove me wrong.

  35. Who won between Taylor and the Swwiinnggs? Also Coaches vs NWO?

  36. Harold G I think, I have been looking for it but cannot find it.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Harold is a little old to be messing with thirteen year old girls. Never mind, I got my Channel Two stories mixed up.

  38. Yep, that Graham guy is a bit off center.
