State Tournament Schedule Released ... oh it is a Doozy by the ATA on the guys

So old days the biggest complaint has been the guys having to play a match on Friday and missing work because of a match schedule at noon and then nothing until Saturday, well the higher ups at ATA decided to go one further and scheduled not "1" but "2" matches on Friday. Should make for interesting line-ups on Friday

So matches:
Friday
Noon:
Birch v Cato
Fairley/Miller v. Humbert/Stursma
4:30:
Laster v Humbert/Stursma
Fairley/Miller v. Birch
Saturday

11:00 AM
Humbert/Stursma v Cato
Fairley/Miller v. Laster

5:00 PM
Fairley/Miller v Cato
Birch v. Laster

Sunday
11:00 AM
Humbert/Stursma v Birch
Cato v. Laster

Good luck to all and have fun on the courts

Combo 2022 Finals

 Sounds like once all the rain left Mobile and the courts dried off, AR Teams faired pretty darn well with a couple of teams winning Titles and others being the bridesmaids Winners: 8.5 40+ Men The ironman of joining teams and probably is the one player who keeps USTA Funded each and every year adds another trophy to his collection.  The old guys finished in a tie for 2nd after Round Robin Play going 3-1 with 4-0 NC holding the lead.  AR advanced by virtue of 10 wins to 9 wins for TN In the finals Mesaris and company got revenge on NC from their 2-1 Loss in RR Play Round Robin Match Finals Match Card: In my opinion line-ups for AR was not much stronger in the finals, they did manage to take the 2 MTB's to win it all.  NC played 2 of their same teams from the RR match and just got beat. Could make the case that Lee/JJ were a tad tougher team at #1, but KG/TC are no slouches either; BL/JG are a solid 8.5 team CONGRATS Guys well played!! 6.5 Ladies 18+ Congrats to Meek ...

I mean Sectional Combo Tournament.  A Thursday Start!?!? Guess they want to make sure no one misses SEC Games this weekend. No my idea of fun missing 3 days of work to play tennis for matches that do not count, but I hear the towels are nice 9.5 Combo No AR teams in Women's and the Men's team appears to be a no show, so just a 2 state race in each division, oh well who cares now 8.5 Combo Repping from AR at the 8.5 Level is the bionic captain Lee Mesaris and his team led by the consistent 5.0 Casey G. glad marriage and real life not slowing the kid down.  1st Match against MS: 2-1 win with Casey/Daniel winning at #1, Lee/Kyle (no longer the 4.0 King) at #3 Hendrix kid Kristin and his Partner lost to a solid team at #2 in 3 sets.  2nd Match: against SC: lost 2-1, Hendrix Kid and partner won at #2; The disc gol...
