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 Captained Team

Combo Sectionals 2022 or is 2023 hmmm...

 Well now that the gnashing of teeth or whining is starting to subside on the dreaded ratings day, guess what Mobile and their 60 cts is hopping with sandba.... 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 golfers took a

3 years in waiting -- 2022 Ratings Posted

 So someone called me out and wants to know about ratings .... hmm To Be Continued as I try to decipher what the USTA has been doing, you know helping Intermountain (UT) dominate 4.0 Men's Tennis with all their 12 self rates bumped to 4.5, but hey the machine has won 3 straight National Titles, guess bragging rights are big in SLC.  Glad to know taking off 2022 League Year did not diminish anything.  Brandon Kiker I blame you if this goes sideways :) ** WINNERS of the NTRP Ratings Hate Me ** Got a daily double to go along with the first heading: Head up to Jonesboro and once again Gary J. and Alex A. get the old man bump to 5.0!! AGAIN!!! Who did you guys piss off?? Well done boys, well done, thought I was the only one who could piss off USTA.  4.5 to 5.0 (Poor Bastards, 2024 will be a better Year) Special Note: Edson Abrao, sorry my man, you're still a stud welcome to 5.5 and the Pro Tour Lite; for those who do not know, Edson was a stud when he played at UALR.  No one else
