Final State Championships

Well what a time and the upsets have started.

Congrats to Byron Cato and Jonesboro on winning State Championships and the Berth to Sectionals, now how are you going to fare once you lose your stud singles player within the next 48 hrs once the numbers are run.

Also great playing by Ft Smith as well did not expect them to finish 2nd, congrats guys was fun to play you guys, Jim Anderson was a good representative of your team

Jonesboro won the big match-up against Miller/Fairley winning 4-1 behind singles play and taking 2 MTB's in doubles.

Jonesboro then beat Ft Smith 3-2 on Sunday to clinch winning both doubles, although #2 Singles with Bolds was much much closer than expected. They then took #1 Doubles in MTB, while losing MTB at #2 and being blown out at #3.

Cato did a masterful job in the doubles mixing up team placement each match to keep teams guessing

Arkansas 4.5 Men's Results

Miller/Fairley 2-0 after Day 1 then the underdogs do it again with Ft Smith taking out Miller 3-2 Laster thrashed E. Bailey 2,1
Hickey lost to Hardee 1,4
Anderson/Eads lost to Matthews/Miller
Carson/Smith beat Heflin Brothers
McCain/Gilliam beat Clifford/Bourdo --- Wyatt should have protested but too bad
Saving players? No P Murphy, no Mattocks, Jones out of Town == disaster

 Jonesboro sitting 2-0 behind singles domination of young guys, they will be needed at 5 PM against Miller Team for what should decided the title

Ft Smith and NWA both 1-1

Birch sitting at 0-2 after facing Jonesboro and Miller

Interesting match ups tonight should be fun.

Expecting several Dynamic DQ's of Self-rates after this tournament and numbers are run, I'll keep it to myself for now .....

I see the following gone once new numbers run:

Andrew Bolds -- sorry charlie your trying to keep it close against FT Smith won't help
Andrew Todd -- no losses and rolled at State
Grady McCain -- should have been protested as a signee with D2 UAFS UAFS Signs 4 then add in dominating doubles play at State

Matt Hardee -- was close but should be safe now
Jordan Custer -- close but losses at State keep safe
Justin Mattocks -- borderline and could go either way

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 ...

Post Sectionals Recap and Old Men 40's Sectionals

Well the youngsters finished Sectionals last weekend and well my predicitions kinda sucked. AR 4.0: 2-2, but could have been 4-0 with 2 MTB wins. No Wiseman, no Kaliki probably hurt, but it is what it is. Not sure who gets bumped to 4.5 next, although have to assume, Zimmerman, Meredith, Wiseman are likely candidates. AR 4.5: 0-4, not wholly unexpected, this was more of a 40 and over team, with a couple youngsters to feed to the brutal heat. Good fights but not their year. Believe Casey G. saved himself a bump with a few losses at Sectionals. AR 5.0: 0-4, pretty disappointing result, this team was pretty stacked, but without a Kajevski and Martinex would have been tough but with a few of the guys though would have done better. 40 and overs started today and the 4.5 Men got a big win over GA (A). . Good luck the rest of the way for the 4.5 guys. With a dominating 5-0 win over SC the men play the Finals this morning, I would think they would be the favorites against NC. Single...

2018 NTRP Rating News, Bitching, Complaining, Jumping for Joy

New ratings came out 2 weeks ago, but my lazy ass did nothing but look over and peek. No real surprises to be honest although there was a certain 4.5 player that appealed down to 4.0 somehow, guess competition was too tough after going 3-1. Thanks USTA Clowns. The 4.5 Chasm has gotten much bigger now with several bumps from 4.0 to 4.5, no real moves from 4.5 to 4.0 other than the appeal. Few older statesmen got appeals from 5.0 to 4.5 (Welcome back Alex and David) and a couple of 4.5/5.0 players will be joining the 40+ gang this coming year. The Suck It Award goes to Kiker and Nordentoft for about the 4th straight year, guess USTA just hates these guys and refuse to let them back down to 4.0 even with the losses mounting. The Wiseman comes back to 4.5, Big Red makes his debut at 4.5, a Baptist Pastor also makes a return 4.5, while doubles prodigy remains 4.0, and Big Lee gets to stay at 4.0, ATA's favorite son remains a 4.5, while 55+ gang get bumped to the desert called 5....
