Then shortly into PT his house burned down. He fought not insurance companies for the better part of 2014. Just to be clear he really struggled on the tennis court but he didn't want to stay home. For obvious reasons. I appreciate the passion for tennis. But it seems a lot of times before we throw stones we should make sure we don't live in a glass house!Lovetexastennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04697032892096747758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6372029287243637381.post-13533545192299700492016-02-08T23:15:42.713-06:002016-02-08T23:15:42.713-06:00Thanks John.

The only part of this that's amusing is Tony Le being defeated by the very tanking system that he helped to perpetuate.

Knowing that they blatantly cheated to get to 3.5 and then went and played tournaments at the 4.5 level is just rubbing it in everyone's faces. If they were smart and wanting to control things, they should have been out there with actual ratings judges watching the matches and handing out Disqualifications. Instead, they simply collect their fees, hand out their T-shirts and towels, and move on.<br /><br />Pathetic Texas Region.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6372029287243637381.post-87475483698255609552016-02-08T15:53:02.078-06:002016-02-08T15:53:02.078-06:00Coree yii dew not apweciate makeng fyunn of me whi...Coree yii dew not apweciate makeng fyunn of me whiff<br />Yurr rant an fwind it d is gusting u pwejudice libweralAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6372029287243637381.post-56933470659350348032016-02-08T15:31:56.717-06:002016-02-08T15:31:56.717-06:00Your team wouldn't have beat NoHo anyway.

Their 3.5 line lost no more than 3 games total in 2 sets. Untouchable, even against current and former National 3.5's. <br /><br />At 4.0 Faris was every bit a lock as reviewed. Never gets rattled and puts lots of balls in play for other team to make errors. Could have gone undefeated at 4.5 too had he wanted to. <br /><br />4.5 Kelly may not have had the results but he didn't have the help needed. He can only cover half the court and this isn't mixed. Will say he played his best against Dallas in the finals.<br /><br />Glad Fort Worth won. They will win it all and Congratulations to the Dallas Women too for winning the event. At least one Zackry got some playing time this weekend. Just was the women's side.
