2012 USTA Mixed League III

Saturday, February 18th, 2012

Hey Tennis Friends!

I’m still trying to get my first win of this year’s USTA League Mixed Doubles season. This report is from an 8.0 team match and, once again, I was teamed up with my Tennis Friend, Liz! Our outfits were not necessarily “matching”, but, the orange and black is definitely coordinated :-)

The team that we played against was tough. The woman is Liz’s partner from her women’s team, and the man is my friend and the captain of a few teams that I have previously been a part of!

Our first set lasted 31 minutes.
Our second set lasted 43 minutes.

In the second set, I lost my serve, after a nearly 9 minute game!

My results for this season, so far, are:

Local District/Area 8.0 Mixed Doubles
0-wins, 3-losses

Local District/Area 7.0 Mixed Doubles
0-wins, 1-loss

2012 USTA Mixed League II

Saturday, February 4th, 2012

Hey Tennis Friends!

It’s USTA League Mixed Doubles season, and this year I am playing on two teams. One team is an 8.0 league team, and the other is a 7.0 league team. Since I am still a 4.0 rated player, I will be playing with a 3.0 partner for the 7.0 league team. On the 8.0 team, I will be playing with either a 4.0, or a 3.5 player.

This particular day, I was scheduled to play on both teams: One in the morning, and one in the afternoon. It was double duty for mixed doubles!

For my first match (8.0 Mixed) of the day:
Our first set lasted 26 minutes.
Our second set lasted 19 minutes.

For my second match (7.0 Mixed) of the day:
Our first set lasted 28 minutes.
Our second set had a rain delay, so accurate timing was unavailable.
Our third set lasted 17 minutes.

My results for this season, so far, are:

Local District/Area 8.0 Mixed Doubles
0-wins, 2-losses

Local District/Area 7.0 Mixed Doubles
0-wins, 1-loss

2011 USTA Mixed League V

Saturday, 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

Saturday, 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

If you enjoyed my reports from the BNP Paribas Open, be sure to let the tournament know, so that they will allow me even more access in the future. Send them an email at:
