I took a glance at the draws yesterday, and at this point I'm obviously not the most educated of observers, but my two cents worth:
I'll be very surprised if Odion and Tim Green lose in the 4.5 doubles.
The 4.0 singles intrigues me the most as there are possible matchups between several of my teammates: Eddie Janek, Tuyen Nguyen, Bobby Dornbos. All three of them have chances to do really well in the tournament, and it'll be nice to see how they're playing at this point in the season.
Where is the new blood in the 4.5 singles? That division needs an infusion of youth or new names. Nice to see people like Herb Morton still going strong and earning the top seed.
I saw Javier Chavarria and Don Rios playing a practice match at the Met about a month ago. A shame they have to meet in the first round of the 40's.
Ward Jannuzzi is making an appearance in the 55's. Haven't seen him since his move to Florida. Might be worth a trip out to CHS (if I can figure out what/where that is).
Is anyone gonna' beat Rob Collins?
League rosters are filling up quickly. I haven't studied them yet. Any surprises? Post in the comments.
I suppose I should also mention that the 40+ league has had some good turnout. The quality of play, to me, seems to be a notch below the summer league, but that's to be expected. City playoffs are just around the corner. Should be some competitive matches.

Who will win 40+? I like Lakeside.
ReplyDeleteLee Leclear/SAP will win now that it matters and can make their reservations for nationals.
ReplyDelete6:29 you need an update
ReplyDeleteThis kid with a long last name has a huge game. Blistering backhand, thunder forehand, huge first serve, solid second serve, repeating returns and touch varieties.
ReplyDeleteYep!!! Bright future ahead. He made it all the way!!! Strong Mentally and physically too.
DeleteSAP sucks, cannot even win their division!
ReplyDeleteBy design, all SAP had to do was get in the playoffs.
DeleteLooks like SAP is the real deal when it matters. The season really started this weekend.
DeleteLooks like SAP needs to go back to the drawing board.
DeleteSAP, done and over with. HAhahaha
DeleteWhere's the Summer League chatter
ReplyDeleteI guess this blog is dead
ReplyDeleteLeague Tennis is dead. HTA is doing its best at killing interest through bad management. I know it is a low paying job, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't be semi-competent.
ReplyDeletethats what happens when u hire a bunch of women
Deleteteams to make playoffs
ReplyDeletediv1- dbags and gooder guys
div2- hurricanes and old school
div3- unicorns, blacksheep, or jcc
What about the Lobsters? They are always in the mix of things.
ReplyDeleteWilly Lock sure has some interesting results. It looks like he has dramatically improved over the past 6 months from losing a set to Thomas Sawaya 6-1 and a match to Javier Chavarria last August/September to making the Houston Open finals and beating Jorge Bouffier 6-0, 6-1 last week.
ReplyDeleteI want whatever he is taking!!!
remember two years ago, someone tried to sneak him on their 4.5 team??
