2011 USTA Fall League

Saturday, September 10th, 2011

Hey Tennis Friends!

It’s time for USTA Fall League tennis!
This season I have, once again, changed teams. I am very fortunate to have the option to switch teams and meet new Tennis Friends. Hopefully, your local USTA League has regular multiple teams so that you can also take advantage of this, and meet more Tennis Friends!

After our match was finished, we weren’t sure if the record should reflect that it was a match on hard court, or, a match on clay court . . .
Is there even a category for “mixed surfaces”?

My results, so far, for this season are:

Local District/Area 4.0 Adult Men Doubles
1-0

2011 USTA Spring League V

Saturday, July 2nd, 2011

Hey Tennis Friends!

This was the final match that I played for the team during the Spring League season. Unfortunately, I had some difficulties for the opening of this video:

This time our first set lasted around 21 minutes, and the second set was around 23 minutes!

My final results for this season were:

Local District/Area 4.0 Adult Men Doubles
2-3

Not a winning season for me, but our team ended up right in the middle of the eleven teams in our area. There was some tough competition, with one team going undefeated all season!

2011 USTA Spring League IV

Saturday, June 4th, 2011

Hey Tennis Friends!

Once again I get to play on the USTA 4.0 team and, this time, I’m trying to even out my 1-2 record. For the third time this season, I got paired up with my buddy, Gus!

The team that we played against are my Tennis Friends that I play with nearly every Friday morning. One of them was even my partner in Fall League last year. Even though it may appear that I had an advantage, knowing their style of play, . . . both of them had the advantage of knowing my style of play!

This time our first set lasted around 32 minutes, and the second set was around 37 minutes!

My results, so far, for this season are:

Local District/Area 4.0 Adult Men Doubles
2-2

2011 USTA Spring League III

Saturday, May 14th, 2011

Hey Tennis Friends!

Once again I get to play on the USTA 4.0 team, and, for the second time this season, I got paired up with my buddy, Gus!

The length of time of this match was nearly a reverse situation from the previous match that I played in.
This time our first set lasted around 22 minutes, and the second set was over twice as long, around 50 minutes!

It was pretty funny, and not too common, that in the middle of our match (and the video) Gus caught the ball in the throat of his racquet. When that happens, the point is over, and the opponent’s win the point.
I have seen this happen before, and it’s always a little awkward. I felt that Gus handled it with the appropriately humorous follow through.

My results, so far, for this season are:

Local District/Area 4.0 Adult Men Doubles
1-2

2011 USTA Spring League II

Saturday, May 7th, 2011

Hey Tennis Friends!

It’s another match for the USTA 4.0 Men’s team that I am on!

Despite the highlights on the video, we just weren’t playing up to where we should’ve been today, which, by comparison, made the opponents more consistent than we were. That’s what wins matches!
The first set took 45 minutes, and the second only took 17 . . .

Fortunately, enough of our teammates won their matches so that, as a team, were were able to take the victory. Yay teamwork!

My results, so far, for this season are:

Local District/Area 4.0 Adult Men Doubles
0-2
