4.5 Week Two

Some more interesting matchups this week but none of the big guns are battling each other it looks like.

4.5 A

Featured Match: High Point/Bazan v. T Bar

Not much of a feature matchup but I figure this is a must-win for T Bar to stay in the hunt and Bazan's team could prove to be a contender with a win here. High Point barely squeaked by in week one and they face a much stiffer test this week. Branch, Royal Oaks, and Feldman may not lose a line between them. Hackberry and Bovermann battle in what should be the closest match of the flight. I predict it will come down to singles in this one and I think Hackberry is just a little stronger in that category.

Predictions:

T-Bar over HP 4-1 (sorry Cary, but last time I picked against you it worked out for you)
Branch over Village 4-1 (doubles should actually be pretty competitive)
Royal Oaks over Stonebridge 5-0
Hackberry over Bovermann 3-2
Feldman over Collin County 4-1 (not sure where the one comes from).

4.5 B

Featured Match: Lakes v. Huffhines

I'm not going to list my team in the featured match every week but this week it's obvious. The Lakes team was a playoff contender last season and this is a match they need to win to be in that position again this season. Greenhill v. HP is also a close match to call but I actually think Greenhill could win this one. Brookhaven and Sprinpgark should win easily and T Bar and DFW could be a toss-up too.

Huffhines d. Lakes 4-1
Brookhaven d. LB 4-1
T Bar d. DFW 3-2
Springpark d. Juhn 4-1

Upset Pick: Greenhill d. High Point 3-2. Greenhill rolled last week and their singles one-two punch will be tough for any team to handle, assuming they are in the lineup.

As long as the rain stays away it should be a great weekend of tennis.

Thoughts?

  2. I'm going with HP to take down Greenhill. HP is going to have a good year. Let's hope rain holds off.

  3. Looks like CoreDawg's team won in fine fashion at 3-2. Good call...almost a 4-1 right?

  4. I was close. Wasn't expecting a 12-10 TB loss at line 2 doubles. Good call Jason. I wonder how much impact Griggs playing in the Brookhaven tournament had on his match with Keller.

  5. Tbar played very well. I wish I would have had our best lineup available (but such is league tennis) I really don't think it would have mattered anyway, maybe we would have got a 2nd win.

    Will played awesome and Scott is a very smart player. Jean and Greg had a very good match and just about the longest although by the score you wouldn't know. Jean is very talented and moves great for a 6 footer.

    I obviously will have a better idea who is better between TBar and RO by next week but TBar looks pretty solid and I know we didn't see everything they had to offer.
