While we always hate to hear all of the tanking and cheating talk, it at least brought the blog viewers back. The stats had nearly a thousand views for today alone and over a thousand yesterday. I'm not sure what has happened or if anything actually happened. In the meantime, lets see where everyone stands.
5.0 Jooste and Collins did not disappoint. Collins laid it to Culley and Jooste and partner laid it to some people I don't know. As long as these two are in the lineup, I can't see the Village losing. They will each win their respective lines.
4.5
Flight A: Reiman knocked out Rossouw in a sweep. That is making a pretty big statement. LB Houston and Fretz are still undefeated. neither have been tested. Although, Noel plays Rossouw this week. If Rossouw is still motivated, he can field a mighty good team. LB has another light week. I expect Rossouw to win and there are then 2 unbeatens.
Flight B: Oak Creek and Lakes are the only unbeatens. TBar got beat by the always dangerous Sam Grand. For those who don't think they are dangerous, just go down there tonight and check them out. This flight is so ho-hum, it is hard to get excited.
Flight C: The undefeated Village is in first and Huffhines/Hammond and Greenhill/Alzuro are undefeated. I am pretty sure the only one that will remain undefeated for any length of time. The Village knocked off Brookhaven/Harlee and should be good to go the rest of the way. Harllee and Hammond hook it up this week and Greenhill plays the TBar B Team. I expect there to be only 1 unbeaten left come Monday.
4.0
Flight A: There are three undefeated teams. None of which I picked to be anyone. Fretz/Noel must not have got the memo that the wildcard is into QT and not city playoffs. They lost to undefeated Oasis. I looked at the results and Oasis fielded 5 lines of guys nobody knows. Oak Creek/Wei-Bin Lai has a lot of guys with names I neither know nor can pronounce. Last is High Point/Gardner. They have a lot more guys I don't know. I still think Fretz wins this flight but that is a bad loss.
Flight B: High Point is an impressive 10-0 and the play the likely QT representative in Greenhill this week. Greenhill can beat them if High Point does not take this serious. Zackary (or is is Zacry, Zackery, Zackrey, Zacrey or whatever you guys call him... he has more spellings than Kelly... I looked it up; it is Zackary) is probably going to beat anybody High Point has. Largent is another strong singles guy. It could be closer than they all think... Who am I kidding? High Point sweeps.
Flight C: McKinney continues to quietly march along. Oak Creek is the other undefeated. I couldn't tell you a single player on the Oak Creek roster. McKinney has a lot of players that have been around a long time.
Flight D: There are 4 undefeated teams. Oak Creek and Garland are probably the favorites to win this flight. Garland plays the Greenhill team I said is someone to watch. Apparently, I missed that. Lost a lot of third set tiebreakers so I wouldn't worry too much about them if there was pressure. Oak Creek gets undefeated Huffhines. I think Oak Creek drops them.
So Ohl took a notorious tanker and a straight up ringer? So much for Mr. ethics!
ReplyDeleteI don't care of Ohl signed Zak up or not, but he really needs to stop crying and moaning about other people having tankers if he's gonna play his own. You really can't bitch about other teams doing it and then do it yourself.
ReplyDeleteWhich team you play for?
DeleteGreenhill/Ohl
Deletenot sure you can say zakry a tanker until he wins a big match which he really hasn't done. A solid 4.0 no doubt but nothing more. now the aguilars are winning.
DeleteYou be sorry zakry not on team saturday
DeleteLooks like Aguilars couldn't win at 4.0. They are so bad, they are 3.5.
Deleteif aguilars are smart they will tank a few matches again to keep rating. If match was played w no ratings on the line ohl team would get pounded. Tony and his gang will keep it close. Tony knows what he is doing, might even let zackary win his match
Deletequackery a good player, he is not a ringer and nowhere near a 4.5 player. he cannot take over a match when he wants, that defines a ringer.
DeleteHigh Point Gardner has some talent with Stormy, Wah, Sothea that could win any line at singles, Jenkins is solid at doubles player. I think they can win this line.
ReplyDeleteMore in the long line of 3.5s that couldn't win Dallas but think they're going to dominate 4.0. You can also add the Greenhill team to that list.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteOak creek is solid and just pasted sisk over the weekend. Give us some credit. our singles guy just took down the best 4.5 in the league and our line 2 singles is pretty good too in daniel keller. we are also deep in doubles as well.
ReplyDeleteIf we are putting High Point Le in 4.0 sectionals, who's the current favorite in Dallas to get the wild card?
ReplyDeletemckinney
ReplyDeleteI would not vote for McKinney, unless his new guys are some ringers. Like Murray mentioned their players that have been around for a long time. But Bazan will play some of his usual guys which will hurt them in the playoffs. If he can avoid playing himself and couple of his regulars in playoff, they might have a shot at sectionals depending on how good their other guys are.
Deletelooks like they recently added ashby also. he is a major headache but worth it and can win matches. by regulars you must mean muniz - bazan will need to drop him in playoffs if he wants his team to advance
DeleteAshby has serious anger issues.
DeleteThanks for the shout out.
DeleteI guess my one negative groupie is back again.

It is crazy how hypocritical Ohl and Zackary are.
ReplyDeleteZackary is the biggest tanker in all of Dallas tennis besides Kelly and he tries blasting the Aguilars when he has never seen them play. He even went to the USTA and reported them. Now that is funny. Todd Reed taking advice from the biggest tanker in Dallas tennis. Im just curious how Zackary is able to play 40+ tennis.
Ohl and the GH hypocrites. They whine and whine about Zackary at 40+ cities. Arnette is out there yelling and complaining the entire time and now they sign Zackary. Pathetic. Reminds me of Canyon Creek. You guys all bitch, but you all do the same thing given the opportunity. You will never compete with Le. Clark, Sisk, Bender.
I heard Zachary begged to play on the Le team. He doesn't get on the team so he reports players to the USTA? How does this guy play 40+ because his actions are only something a 15 year old would do.
ReplyDeleteto 10: 50, you are absolutely correct.
ReplyDeleteif he is smart, he will keep his mouth shut and find a team kelley is playing on and ride that wave to nationals. kelley can single handidly put a team on his back, so jump on his band wagon. Ohl team going nowhere. however, not sure I agree todd reed taking advice from anyone. i dont think you can keep a guy from playing 40's just because he reports someone to the usta though
Thanks Mike
Deletehe did, played on aa mixed team last year and went to nationals. you other jealous 4.0's were sitting at home. Mike Z is a beast!
ReplyDeleteIf you look at that, he played 1 match with a 3.5 who is now a 4.5. I don't think that qualifies him as a beast.
Deletethis is nuthin compared to the roof blowin off this blog when kelly gets moved to 4.0. This blog will look like a girl scout forum compared to what happens when the King gets moved down. Hide the women and children and be prepared for Armegeddon.
ReplyDeleteThe biggest begger to get on the Le team had to be Noeh Romero, offering your first born to capt Le is just over the top, not to mention the other "favors" he offered the team members.
ReplyDeleteAnd now Noeh plays for Ohl
DeleteImpossible, Noeh Romero is not a tanker and never has been. What would he be doing on that team?
DeleteThat is why Ohl put Noeh on his B team
DeleteCarlos Aguilar has to be the most blatant tanker ever to be reported to the USTA. He went from being uncompetitive at 4.0 to winning multiple open division major zone tournaments and playing a close match against a 5.5 / 6.0 team within a few months.
ReplyDeleteIf Todd and co. don't step in and do something about this you might as well write tanking into the USTA by-laws as they will never have a more obvious opportunity to take a stand against it.
He did not play any 5.5s or 6.0s close. Quit making stuff up. Besides, Todd won't do anything and you know it. Hahaha, I can't wait to see them embarrass you!
DeleteThat is a great rags to riches story. When does C.A. make his debut in the Spring 4.0 League?
DeleteC.A. lost 5 & 2 vs Jooste (5.5) / Papp (6.0) while playing with a 4.5 partner. C.A. never got 5 games during any set of his 5 4.0 matches. Those are both facts.
DeletePapp was a top 50 NCAA player. What 4.0 team doesn't have a guy that is competitive with a 6.0 that was in the top 50 in the NCAAs? I play them all the time at 4.0.
DeleteWhile one might think Papp is better with those credentials. Jooste actually has a better resume. He was a top 25 NCAA player and a former Baylor number 1.
DeleteCan C.A. Say he either tried or rated accurately. I think Erbe has a lot to answer for allowing these guys to rate on his team.
Crickets from Erbe?
Deletereed will do absolutely nothing about the aguilares and tony le will sit there and laugh all the way to sectionals!
DeleteNationals... Not sectionals. This time we got the players.
Deletebut le is your coach
Deleteaguilar looks like a beginner compared to the self rate 3.0 on tony mixed 7.0 team
DeleteTony is the best captain going in Dallas. He has amassed the best collection of talent at 4.0 USTA may have ever known.
DeleteIt is easy to be a great captain when you have players playing WAY below their true level.
DeleteThere's a reason some of these guys you've been complaining about have to switch teams and captains every season. They are a major pain in the ass and not worth the trouble.
ReplyDeletewho are the biggest headaches in league play at 4.0/4.5? and put down if any of them are worth the trouble
DeleteKelley is the top headache. He only tries if he wants.
DeleteJelly is no headache. You know exactly what you will get with him. Win if it matters lose if it doesn't.
Deletehow can kelley be a headache on a team just playing for fun. I talked to his opponent last week joe Vo who said he was a total gentleman. their captain said same. maybe Sisk just puts him on team for big name appeal but the guy has caused no trouble lately.
Deletezackary the man!!
ReplyDeleteHere are four facts you can take to the bank;
ReplyDelete1. You will never see Reiman playing unless he has a top partner, otherwise he is mediocre at 4.5.
2. Ditto for Arcaria at 4.0.
3. Zackocrap is a weirdo.
4. Aguilars tank to beat up on lesser players and thus boost their self esteem since there is nothing they can do to make up for being short and fat.
I saw a 26 year old former NCAA top 50 player in 4.0 just last year. He was playing on Jason Freeman's Houston team that finished second at nationals. Still wasn't enough to get it done.
ReplyDeleteHe didn't lose at nationals. He wasn't the problem. Just because Freeman cheats doesn't mean Dallas should.
DeleteDon't go to the same bank as 10:09 you are going to lose your money. It is backed ICWC (I can't win complain) not the Fdic. Just checked reiman's record he plays every week and with different partners. Looks like a tough player wins a ton. 18 wins and 4 losses over the last 22 matches including 5.0 and 4.5 plus. Arcaria looks to be the same way at 4.0 Stop being jealous and get better so you can compete. Can't comment on 3 and 4. Don't know.
ReplyDelete1. reiman/durten couldn't even beat kelly and a 62 year old adcock in the cotton bowl. reiman mediocre 4.5 at best.
Delete2.agree w 10:09 on Arcarryme
3. dont know him
4. dont know them
Rodd Teed
Funny stuff!
DeleteLMAO......Arcarryme........that has to be the nickname of the year!
DeleteSo obviously poster 8:29 is either Reiman or Arcaria... nice try boys!
ReplyDeleteTake any four players off of Tony's team that you like and they still sweep Ohl.
ReplyDeleteActually, let Ohl pick the 8 players he wants to play and the lineups he wants and sweep Ohl.
ReplyDeleteWhoah Hoss, let's slow down now. They probably only win 3-2. I think Zackary and Largent beat Bennett and One of the roster's 3.5s in singles. Still sweep in doubles.
DeleteZackary beats Alarid, yeah right, on what planet.
DeletePlanet High Point in a couple days!
DeleteForgot about that little girl Alarid tanking his way down to 4.0
DeleteLe definitely has an all-start team of degenerates.
Am I reading this right? Alarid is 4.0? I get the feeling Todd Reed will have his vengeance on Dallas tennis this year.
Deletewhy the disbelief on Alarid? he is a 4.0. Go look at his mens results and even his TCD results if you want to get picky.. Hell, he even got steam rolled by kelly 1 and 1. maybe thats why he stays at 4.0, few more beatings like that he will be 3.5 since mixed counts a little toward ratings I think.
DeleteTCD mixed counts towards ratings? Are you completely retarded or just partially?
DeleteYou have a race to the appeal button and the first one there gets an automatic 3.5 rating, who wins, Kelly, Zachary, or Alarid? Will not include Aguilar since he's already there, and couldn't outrun those 3 anyhow.
funny post 8;52!!
Deleteanyway, kelly outruns most anyone on a tennis court but I would say Zackary. USTA will bump kelley up to 5.5 before 3.5. Aguilar and zakary safe because they haven't really won anything yet. Alarid lurking a close second but will take a few years to get there, then Alzero will be asking him to play.
It all goes back to Alzuro. He's to blame for all this mess! Dallas tennis will never be the same.
ReplyDeleteNews flash to all the idiots or newbs out there..., any team who hopes to adv to sectional glory or nationals must add some ringers, if you don't get it, you will keep seeing the same results year after year. The captains all know this, most guys who play enough usta know this, so much wine here im getting drunk, stopping ragging on the capts or players who know what they need to do to get the dance. Yes, it sucks that people manage their results or scores to stay or bump down, but this will always happen, getting better if you really want to play. I like 3.5 but i dont cry if i win or lose to someone, it will happen, yes i have lost to some quality and to some crap but thats all on me dudes!!! Deal with it!!
Deleteagree w 5:21. King jelly kelly should not be headache number one. You know you will get a win if needed and you won't if not. Should be the opposite of headache. When you have a lock you only worry about the rest. he is staying out of trouble and racking up national appearances. i would say he is the least of Dallas' problems.
ReplyDeleteWhat did I do to be blamed for this?
ReplyDeleteAlzero
Glad to see no one else is playing this weekend other than High Point and Greenhill
ReplyDeleteActually, Greenhill isn't showing up. High Point already swept them with pure fear.
Deleteothers playing. Huge match between Summerbut and Sisk in 4.5
DeleteSomabut and Sisk? Who is trying less?
Deleteif Le is smart he will tell his tankers to keep it close or even lose a match or two. I predict 3-2 Le trying to keep it respectable, 5-0 if they dont care about ratings.
ReplyDeleteYou lost me at Le is smart
DeleteLost me when using Le and respectable in the same sentence.
DeleteOhl team won 3-2, Le tanks 2 lines
ReplyDeleteLiar, we swept.
DeleteHe didn't play.
DeleteZak wussed out
ReplyDeleteNow you know why Le didn't want him.
ReplyDeleteJust like A.J. Schwartz. He is another female genitalia.
ReplyDeleteIf you can't get zak and AJ out to play the big matches why would any team need them?
DeleteLet's go back to bashing Kelley. It's more fun. At least aj and zakry are playing the levels they should be. Kelley will only show up for sectionals and Nationsls, not try in cities his hardest and play at 50 percent.
DeleteZackery is affraid he will get beat. He plays when he can win and doesn't play when it's a big match. I don't think people should call him such harsh names. Just call him Captain No Show.
ReplyDeleteTo April 24 @5:07:
ReplyDeleteYou were exactly right
Right on!!!
DeletePlease watch the language. I don't like deleting comments and believe I'm pretty liberal around here. If you wouldn't say it to your mother, think before you post it here.
ReplyDeleteLighten up Murray.
DeleteThe level of fight on the blog after the match was about like the fight some of Greenhill's guys put up at the match. Zak no showing here too?
ReplyDeleteKelley is probably with your mother right about now.
ReplyDeleteMy mother is 86
ReplyDeleteI bet he could still win with her. Put her in a wheelchair in the alley.
ReplyDeleteIts odd that every time someone starts to rag on the Greenhill boys there is another random comment about kelly. Someone can take the heat and someone can't.
ReplyDeletewho cares, kelley is a punk and shows up and dominates out of level. At least Zak and aj dont win their big matches. who would you rather have on ur team??!!!
DeleteI would rather win the big matches then get to the big matches and come up short. And give Kelly's teammates credIt. They win the big matches as well.
DeleteStop taking up for this clown. You must be on his team. No one else likes him.
DeleteI noticed that as well. the going gets rough and the kelley bashing begins, Coincedence? although kelley deserves it seems greenhill and the boys ask for this one by checking out.
ReplyDeleteGreenhill rolled over from what I see. Pathetic, if they bring their best, hey could possibly win that.
ReplyDeleteI still want to know how the usta lets Aguilar play as a 3.5. I understand the self rate, but then get beat every match at 4.0 while winning open level matches at the cotton bowl. How can they not do anything. If they don't dq him, it shows they really don't care. After bumping up Kelly manually a few years ago, shouldn't they at least try to be consistent. This is turning into a joke.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm not mike Kelly. Just some who doesn't understand the rules anymore.
They are computer rated so just deal with it. Tony is smarter than you guys and you just can't handle.
DeleteDifference is there is not enought interest in the 4.0 captains or 3.5 captains to dq him. Roussow knew that Kelley playing as a 4.5 would keep any team he captained from winning so he went out and got support from men's teams captains and mixed teams captains and got him bumped up. Kelley was winning everything he played. Aguilar has won nothing so far and is 11 national appearances short of Kelley so he is no threat right now, especially to russouw (who still has won nothing). I do agree however that the DTA not doing anything about this is incredulous. Not enuff people have complained about this guy and so far he has been able to fly under the radar. When he starts winning and knocking teams out of sectionals year after year like Kelly has done to Brookhaven and canyon creek and others you will see something done. Probably another manual bump up. Tony Le sitting back laughing right now.
ReplyDeleteUnbelievable how any post about anything can be turned into a rant about Kelly, for or against him. I'd say Kelly has a stalker but can you stalk yourself?
Deleteif u don't like it don't Reed it. Kelley has ruined Dallas tennis league ratings.
DeleteTiny Le is a genius.
ReplyDeleteIf Tiny is a Dallas genius, the city is full of retards.
DeleteTiny Le is a cheat, and the USTA will not do anything about it because they are afraid that if they did, they would lose a large portion of their revenue. About 35% of players and captains are trying to beat the system, and it's the same names you see year after year, plus a few more recruits here and there. The ones that can't do it at their proper levels, and have to resort to cheating. Sisk, Somabut, Bender, Pickett, Arcaria, Le, Alan A, etc., and all the players on their rosters for the most part.
ReplyDeleteThen we are full of retards. 35% are cheating and we keep getting our asses kicked.
DeleteSince you say "we", I'm assuming that you are one of the ones on that list above. So what you say is likely accurate. Since the USTA has become about who can cheat best to win, then yes, your statement would be correct since amongst the cheating retards, Dallas can not seem to do it best.
ReplyDeleteTake Somabutt of list. He beat Sam huhyn 6-1,6-1
ReplyDeleteHas there ever been a team from Dallas that did not 'cheat' and actually won Sectionals? Would this blog ever admit to such a thing? Or is the definition of cheating on this blog simply mean...a team that wins Sectionals. Seems like the latter to me.
ReplyDelete3.5 over 40 team two years ago had no self rates and no bump downs
DeleteIn looking at some of the last weekends results it appears that Sam Huynh, Mike Kelly and Bob Somabut are all this tanking thing together. Kelly loses to David Kingery??? Somabut couldnt be Sam if Sam played left handed.
ReplyDeleteSo Sam played right handed?
DeleteThe ultimate in Asian leadership, sacrifice yourself to get one of yours down to 4.0
ReplyDeleteSam belongs at 4.0.
ReplyDeleteIf he is on my team. Otherwise no, he doesn't.
DeleteYes he does , he has already been destroyed at 4,0 sectionals before.
ReplyDeleteHe was very sick that day. Sam is too good for 4.0 but we'll welcome him back.
DeleteTony Le is basically thumbing his nose at the DTA, USTA Texas, and Dallas league players daring them to do anything about it. Not only at 4.0, but he also has entered 7.0 mixed. His ringer team just added two Aguilar's (but not Carlos, yet) If he doesn't win this year, look out 3.5 and 6.0 Mixed next year!
ReplyDeleteThat's too bad. I'm sure if Tony didn't have a team you would have won.
DeleteAlan Gerber, why do you care so much about 4.0 tennis that you have to keep posting and whining about it? Are you not a 4.5 now?
ReplyDeleteI don't play on Tony's team and I don't tank. Just think its funny how every year the same people bitch about somebody beat them, so they must be cheating, and we just know we'd have won if they didn't cheat. YOU'VE NEVER WON AND YOU NEVER WILL.
ReplyDeleteNews flash from the USTA - evidently mixed is cancelled in Texas this year. They said if the best you can do is send Alzuro and Muniz as representatives from Texas then you can't come back.
ReplyDeleteAt least they made it to Nationals without tanking.
DeleteExactly, they did it legitimately!
DeleteTexas will send 4 teams to mixed nationals this year.
DeleteNot true. Muniz had a 3.0 woman that had played college tennis.
DeleteAll of my 3.0 ladies were computer rated and had been playing at 3.0 for several seasons.
Delete- Rueben
Tony Le is here to save the Texas dignity.
ReplyDeleteOnly on this blog can Tony Le be the dignity bearer.
DeleteTony Le is my hero. If he can out cheat Houston. Otherwise, he is Jason Freeman's B**ch.
ReplyDeleteHe will beat Freeman this year! Mark it down!
DeleteTony Le recently signed up the Aguilar bothers. I assume they're brothers. I don't know them. Three of them to be exact. All new signees with a 3.5 self rating. Looking at Carlos Aguilar's only results, he played the 11th annual bent tree tournament with very competitive results against 5.0 and 6.0 players and winning a match.
ReplyDeleteLove this blog. So easy to find the cheaters involved.
DeleteYou just now found these guys? Really? Everyone knows them. If you just now discovered them, you just discovered this blog.
Delete
