2011 USTA Mixed League V

April 2nd, 2011

Hey Tennis Friends!

As I have mentioned before, I am playing on two 8.0 (combined) teams for the 2011 USTA Mixed Doubles season. For my final match of the season, I get to play in my local district/area!

Once again I have been teamed up with our co-captain!

It was kind of a short season for me, as I was on a large team in my local district, so I only got to play the required three matches.
My adjacent district team was a smaller team, however, my partner, Inger, got a wonderful job opportunity, and moved out of the area right after the beginning of the season. As a result, the other team members were already paired up, and I did not get another opportunity to play. I did, however, get scheduled for a match that was defaulted, so, my partner and I got credit for a win without even hitting the court.

At least I had a combined winning season record!

My final results for this season are:

Local District/Area 8.0 Mixed Doubles
2-1

Adjacent District/Area 8.0 Mixed Doubles
2-1

I’ll see you next time, with more tennis, . . . outside the lines!

2011 USTA Mixed League IV

March 26th, 2011

Hey Tennis Friends!

Welcome to all of the Tennis Friends who met me, or, found this site during the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells.

As I have mentioned in previous posts, I am playing on two 8.0 (combined) teams for the USTA Mixed Doubles season.

This time, playing in my local district, I got paired up with the wife of one of my former men’s doubles partner.

It is always great to play with/against so many Tennis Friends, and even more so when some of them are “tennis families”.
This match, I played with Chauha.
In the past, I have played USTA League with her husband, Tuan, and, I have lost, in doubles, while playing against their daughter, Autumn.
Great fun!

My results, so far, for this season are:

Local District/Area 8.0 Mixed Doubles
1-1

Adjacent District/Area 8.0 Mixed Doubles
1-1
