Tennis in the desert. Not a bad place to win or lose.
Dallas has two representatives at Nationals this
weekend. The High Point/Le team at 4.0 will
be at Rancho Mirage and the High Point/Bender team at 3.0 will be at Tucson. The
5.0 men are also playing this weekend at Indian Wells with San Antonio/Godwin
representing Texas.
In the 4.0 draw, Texas is in Flight 5 with Florida, Middle
States and Midwest. This could be a
tough flight. They will do well to just
make it to Sunday. If they make it to
the semis, they will play the winner of Flight 7 consisting of Southern
California, Missouri Valley, Eastern and Intermountain. It’s going to be tough sledding all around
for these guys. Texas plays Florida in
its first match bright and early on Friday morning. That should tell us a lot about how the
weekend will go.
In the 3.0 draw, Texas is in Flight 7 with Caribbean,
Southern and Florida. Wow, that has to
be the flight of death. All four of those
teams are likely in the top six and I wouldn’t be surprised if Texas, Southern
and Caribbean were in the top four. That
is just brutal. Looks to me like the
USTA gave Northern California (flight 5) a free pass to the semis. Even more interesting, New England, Middle
States, Southwest and Northern are all in one flight together. What a gift.
Of course I know nothing about 3.0 so that could all be dead wrong.
At 5.0, there are only three flights with Texas playing
Southern California, Missouri Valley, Southwest and Florida. That’s going to be rough.
Good luck to everyone but especially our Dallas representatives.
With Tony having lost one of his better singles guys after cities, I wonder about his depth. He's got good doubles fire power but he runs the risk of the singles guys getting worn down if he makes it to Sunday.
ReplyDeleteTony Le has his fingers lined up and ready to go. We will see Aguilar and Tran in singles and Ajay as a back up. With Kemp and Nguyen and Arcaria,Delepaz and Tony they should be fine. I'm sure they are playing for a title Sunday
DeleteGo get em tony bring that title home👍
ReplyDeleteGood luck to the Dallas ladies teams at Nationals!
ReplyDeleteHope that God punishes the tankers and Le's plane crashes short of the runway.
That's a little effed up don't you think?
DeleteCall someone a b----- and you get banned for a year , wishing a plane crashes nothing, sad world we got here
DeleteI believe that's the guy who will end up getting punished
DeletePlease no politics. I assume the person wishing ill will on Tony and Crew is joking. In any event, lets not wish ill will in the manner on anyone. I suspect if that actually happened it would sicken you.
DeleteDallas good luck at Nationals!! Bring home the Gold!!!
ReplyDeleteMike Zackary
From Houston, we wish you the best of uck. Bring a title home to Texas!
ReplyDeleteThat was meant to be Luck!
DeleteLadies aren't tankers, only Tony's team?? You'll never get it!!
ReplyDeleteOh, the ladies definitely have their tankers...the good part is they are very easy to identify since they are likely playing mixed on one of Alan's teams...
ReplyDeleteDallas takes the first one 3-2. Looks like after getting three lines, maybe Victor Tran shut it down. Still very close.
ReplyDeleteMixed sectionals Dallas 7.0 and 9.0 still undefeated. Dallas a 8.0 is defeated.
ReplyDeleteSo is Fort Worth 8.0 (defeated)
ReplyDeleteTony le won both matches!! All you haters in dallas prepare for the 4.0 champs return party
ReplyDeleteif they win Nationals, I hear Tony and his team's next goal is to try to tank into the Special Olympics next year so they can win some gold medals.
ReplyDeletego Tony!
Bennett has been seen practicing his limp already. They can be proud when they win that trophy and cheat their way against the special needs participants. All the cheaters on that team are worthless and have usually had something drastic impact them during their lives that they need this to boost their self esteem.
DeleteDallas 8.0 mixed is getting blasted. Who's making these lineups? Are they trying?
ReplyDeleteDallas 8.0 was missing all their main horses-had only one 4.5 player and the rest were overmatched.
DeleteHigh Point takes the flight! Semis (and finals?) tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI hope all the work Tony did to put his team together pays off. It would be a shame to come up a little short. Surprised by the line-up today, almost a fatal error.
ReplyDeleteI hope it all comes down to Tony's match in the finals.
ReplyDeleteWho says cheaters never win. Tiny wins title.
ReplyDelete5-zip in the finals, all in straight sets.
ReplyDeletehope to see several of them get double bumps. Hope all the hard work in tanking over a few reasons was worth it. Well Done King Tony
ReplyDeleteTony has won a national championship! Many talented captains have several appearances, but hasn't won it! Congrats to Tony and his team!!
