Why the hell would anyone who is 2 years out of major D1 tennis play 4.5 league for FUN??? That is like a true 4.5 playing 3.0 tennis for fun. This "oh shucks, he just wants to get out and play some tennis" crap is a weak defense of outright cheating. <br /><br />If he didn't self-rate 4.5 then his captain did and should be ashamed. It's not this grey area work the system crap- it is CHEATING. He should be DQ'd and banned for a couple years from USTA league play of any level if he self-rated. If his captain did it then he should be the one suspended.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6625710123724017027.post-67828267546902928792010-06-09T16:34:47.220-05:002010-06-09T16:34:47.220-05:00Have any of you guys thought about he may be playi...Have any of you guys thought about he may be playing just for fun, that he didn’t self rate 4.5, that he doesn’t want to compete or anything like that.

Yes, the depth and talent at 4.5 and 5.0 in Texas is great but if you think Lock would lose (or almost lose) to these guys, you are kidding your selves. This isn't Wanja sneaking into 4.5 after playing at Lamar or even somebody that occasionally played #3 doubles for a major program. This is a guy that played #1 in the big ten and had a good record.

And at 5.0, Lock wouldn't have beat Jason Pieters nor is assured of beating Alim Mambetov. If the elite 4.5 players are true 5.0 plus players, then the elite 5.0 are truly 5.5 to open players. You still don't get that this rating problem is a national USTA issue, not just local. Unless you have been to Sectionals & Nationals & have seen the talent there, it's hard to comprehend. Trust me, Lock is not the only former D1 player in the nation that has bypassed the checks & balances. Ha-ha!

The 4.5 singles comp at Sectionals is the likes of players such as: Chad Case, David Wanja, Ted Pumma, Hasker, Dibuas. Players like Lock,which everyone is complaining about might not win all his matches at Sectionals. So, which one of these guys (in 3:20pm poster's comments) can hang with these guys? I am not sure who will be this year's studs, but Dallas, Austin, SA, and H-town or NOHO always find them, hide them well until Sectionals, and then slug it out up in the Big "D". Who are the singles studs this year Greg?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
