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!

Welcome to the new year on GroundsPass.net!

It’s USTA League Mixed Doubles season, and this year I will be 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.

My first match of the year is with the 8.0 team, and as a bonus, I got to play with a brand new Tennis Friend . . .

Our first set lasted 29 minutes.
Our second set lasted 36 minutes.

My results for this season, so far, are:

Local District/Area 8.0 Mixed Doubles
0-wins, 1-loss

2011 USTA Fall League V

Saturday, December 17th, 2011

Hey Tennis Friends!

It’s my final match for the USTA Fall League tennis season!
In this report, once again, I got to team up with a brand new Tennis Friend . . .

Our first set lasted 35 minutes.
Our second set lasted 38 minutes.

My final results for this season are:

Local District/Area 4.0 Adult Men Doubles
3 Wins – 2 Losses

Out of nine teams in our local district/area, our team nearly tied for third place (one individual loss separated us from third place, and left us in fourth). It was a pretty good accomplishment, since the top two teams were nearly unstoppable with only one match lost a piece. I had a personal winning record and met a few more Tennis Friends. This is what USTA League tennis is all about!

2011 USTA Fall League IV

Saturday, November 12th, 2011

Hey Tennis Friends!

USTA Fall League tennis continues!
Apparently, this season, it is the goal to pair me up with a different partner each time :-) In this report, I was teamed up with someone that I certainly know from a local club, but, to my recollection, we have never played together before.

Our first set lasted 31 minutes.
Our second set also lasted 31 minutes.
At least this time, for once, we were not the last team to be playing. Although, being the first team who completed their match, doesn’t carry with it the same sense of pride that we would have if we had won . . .

My results, so far, for this season are:

Local District/Area 4.0 Adult Men Doubles
2-2
