Congrats to the SpringPark 7.0 over 40 mixed team for their
third place finish at Nationals yesterday.
The Dallas bunch came out a four team flight with Intermountain, Southwest
and Caribbean. Only the closest of
losses in the semi-final kept them out of a title shot, going down to NorCal
2-1 while dropping two third set tie-breakers.
Looking over the results, it looks like this team was lead by Mike
Zackary (who went 4-0 at mixed nationals as well as 5-0 at men’s 40s nationals)
and Mike Pearson (who went 2-1 at mixed nationals and 6-0 at men’s 40s
nationals). That’s a great season for
this team.
This concludes our coverage of USTA Nationals events. We will now be returning you to your regularly scheduled broadcast, which we will pick up in progress.
In our case, that means year end ratings will be coming out soon. I’d expect either November 30 or December
1. Once it comes out I will post the
link for you to take a look.
Congrats Spring Park!!
ReplyDeleteWho won the sportsmanship award?
ReplyDeleteMike Zackary, of course. Duh.
ReplyDeleteZackary and team played very well. We was so close.
ReplyDeleteI have to say that the 7.0 women played great this weekend!!! Well done Wendy, Louise, Weezie, Michelle and Sarah!!!!!
ReplyDeleteNo wonder you won if you were using 7.0 women.
DeleteHaha, they still didn't win! Must be the most overrated tankers of all time.
DeleteMaybe Captain Fantastic can give us a Turkey Day thread before ratings are out.
ReplyDeleteAlan put two great teams together 8.0 and 7.0
ReplyDeleteThe 8.0 got screwed by the DTA and 7.0 got 3rd.
Keep up the good work Alan you are a Awesome Captain.
Alan best captain in Dallas.
DeleteAlan best captain of tankers and cheats in Dallas.
DeleteBetter than Tiny?
DeleteGo Cowboy's
ReplyDeleteCowboys on track for that top pick.
DeleteMan, you guys are slippin' up.....year end ratings are out, and not a peep here?
ReplyDeleteAlso, this just in: Mike Kelly - STILL a 4.5. Discuss!
ReplyDeleteKelly wanted to keep it a secret so no post. Don't think it is a coincidence.
DeleteKelly lovers??
ReplyDeleteinteresting that the Pearson you speak of in the blog above managed to stay at 4.0, despite going 6-0 at Nationals, as well as wins at cities and sectionals.
ReplyDeleteLooks like another loser who forgets how to play tennis when he is home back in Dallas.
He's 0-1 in the fall. He didn't tank 4 matches. Then you look at some guys that didn't get bumped. Donnie pollard went 6-1 including wins at 5.0 and stayed a 4.5. The system is flawed. Alan A went 4-0 including singles wins at cities and he didn't get bumped. It's all screwy. Tiny got bumped up going 0-way to many.
ReplyDeleteMost of Le's group was bumped up, have fun at 4.5 Tony!!! I didnt see a large number of bumps this year. It seems USTA was in the giving mood. Any shockers with bumps?
