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

Hey Tennis Friends!

The results are in! I had entries from all over the Untied States, but, where were the entries from my Tennis Friends all over the world?

Congratulations to the winners! I had some really great prizes, and each winner gets a different box full of tennis stuff. Each multi-prize box contains (at least) a hat/visor and a can of tennis balls, plus, something from nearly every tournament that I covered last year!
