I took a look at the Women's side and honestly, it's not a cake walk for Hollis either this year. The levels are more even now, moreso than ever before. Having said that there will be the nay-sayers who point out Vu and Kudrick, etc. but if you really study the teams, there are not nearly as many sandbaggers as years past.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6625710123724017027.post-90150631024652403662011-04-22T08:58:21.355-05:002011-04-22T08:58:21.355-05:00If Bui lost a set to Cooney he's nothing speci...If Bui lost a set to Cooney he's nothing special and has not improved.<br /><br />Hurricane 4.5 and 4.0 both look terrible compared to other years.
