Pablo Guzman<br />2. Matt Fankhauser<br />3. Jerry Defeo<br /><br />Jerry got tough match-ups and I was surprised that John didn't play him at singles in the final but I'm sure he had his reasons and more information than me.<br /><br />I saw Guzman play Buford in November and man that guy is really, really good. I saw Matt play Defeo this weekend and they produced some really good tennis. He also twice played against 2 of the Greenhill guys. <br /><br />As well as my good friend Chris Ellis played yesterday and also Zack, Andy Mac and Don Buford (yes I watched those matches) the 3 listed above are clearly better singles players.<br /><br />So I agree, Jerry Defeo does not fall into the category of "Epic Fail". While in the NFL your record tells you what kind of team you are because on any given sunday any team can beat any other... that is not the case in tennis. Match-ups play a big role.... so do styles. If a captain plays his best players against stronger teams on the top lines they will have tougher matches. However, a smart captain plays his weaker players on lower lines and against weaker teams. My point is: you can't just look at the results on tennislink to see how good or bad a player is.<br /><br />(and Cary, I am logged in but still have to do word verification?)Rossouwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01335820676048614940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6372029287243637381.post-54316623478371699602009-12-14T16:55:34.506-06:002009-12-14T16:55:34.506-06:00I get your point, just don't think it's fa...I get your point, just don't think it's fair to call it an epic fail to lose playoff matches, unless you're losing to guys you should be expected to beat. Based on the records of the two guys he lost to (who I don't know either), I don't know how you could expect anything other than a close match - which both of them were, based on the scores. As for his doubles match, wasn't it a 3rd set tiebreak? Win some, lose some on those, hard to blame him for that loss.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6372029287243637381.post-26063765545500174882009-12-14T16:46:09.540-06:002009-12-14T16:46:09.540-06:00btw if u are a registred user it shouldn't ask...btw if u are a registred user it shouldn't ask you for word verif.Cary Bazan aka Lucky Thunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11876564249848425083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6372029287243637381.post-46989341817299113452009-12-14T16:45:45.374-06:002009-12-14T16:45:45.374-06:00guys i see some comments you all don't and the...guys i see some comments you all don't and the word verification is stop spam hacking, it was really bad on posting in the past and finally they were able to get into a current thread and I just don't want you all to have to sift thru junk like that.Cary Bazan aka Lucky Thunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11876564249848425083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6372029287243637381.post-29674311527148447032009-12-14T16:31:37.242-06:002009-12-14T16:31:37.242-06:00Not sure as much upsets but Defeo going 0-3 is str...Not sure as much upsets but Defeo going 0-3 is strange.

Obviously Brookhaven was very good; but I wouldn't call that loss an epic fail either (much like that of Defeo).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6372029287243637381.post-39923353874462817192009-12-14T12:54:56.737-06:002009-12-14T12:54:56.737-06:00Is BH automatically qualified for the playoffs for...Is BH automatically qualified for the playoffs for the Spring?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6372029287243637381.post-1395355408643289882009-12-14T12:49:36.155-06:002009-12-14T12:49:36.155-06:00Jerry Defeo is a great player - he lost close sing...Jerry Defeo is a great player - he lost close singles matches against Guzman and Fankhauser, two of the best 4.0 singles players in the city - anyone who watched some of those matches knows it was not an epic failure on his part, he played well in both and his team still won both of those matchups. Prior to the playoffs, Fankhauser was undefeated at 4.0 and Guzman had only lost once. All three will be in 4.5 next season, it will be interesting to see if they can still be successful at that level.
