WOW! What a day on the court!

So today was kind of strange!  Not a lot of TEAM today!  However we came up with a much needed  VICTORY!  I should put  it into context so here it goes.  We won 2 out of three matches today, and we won the match 4-1.  TRC defaulted #2 singles and the #3 doubles so the players that were there could play for them and not sit someone.  I think...

The strange part about it was that Team WHOOPassium never really got together prior to the match due to the very active TRC.  

Before I get to the results, I would like to add the quote of the day.  Taylor Green, before the match started and in warmup said, "Can you get tennis elbow from riding a bike?"   So the photo doesn't really match tennis elbow, but some of you might understand how nervous I get before a match!

If there are any quotes that could be added from today or at any time that you have a memorable tennis quote please pass it along.  I will add it so we all can have a good " DID  they really say that?"

Results:
John L. lost at # 1 Single 6-4, 6-2
Mike P. won default

Frank W. and Dave B. won 6-3, 6-3
Taylor G. and Ray L. won 7-6, 7-6
Ed K. and Mike D. won default

The TRC team was fully of 20 somethings and we took it to them!!

John said after his match that he probably would split 10 matches with his guy.

Dave and Frank just rolled I guess.

Ray and Taylor survived, but played well.  Taylor is currently in traction.  He started in pain and worked to it  another level.

Welcome any comments or additions!

Results from Saturday 3-19-2011

Team,

Great job guys, we notched a win today in a close match vs. Mariposa, 3-2, despite being short-handed. 

John gave Les Shigetani, one of the top singles players in the league, a match at #1 singles (6-3, 6-4), we defaulted #2 singles, and prevailed in all 3 doubles matches. 

          


Dave B & Frank held off a 2nd set comeback to win in 2. 

Taylor and Rob won by TKO when one of their opponents shanked (defined: "The term referring to a misdirected shot. This is caused by a ball hitting the frame of the racket rather than on its center. " Sports pundit.) an attempted return of Taylor's serve into his own eye and had to retire (if Taylor doesn't get you one way, he'll get you another).  






Ray and Dave S would have made Brad Gilbert proud by winning ugly in the deciding match, coming back at the last instant in the 3rd.  Ray's sentence of 40 lashes for not checking in Fri. was commuted after winning the match.

Next up will be a home match at our new digs, RTC, vs. TCC next Sat. 3/26, warmup @ 10:30, start time 11:00.  Players should bring $5, a can of balls, and lots of Whoopassium- we'll need it.  I'll be paying upfront for everyone, and then collect from our players.
