.500

The first 1/4 of the season is over. So far no defaults and a .500 record. Not to shabby. This week we went over to the Willows and posted a 4-1 win.

The only loss was in position one where Adam and Evan lost the match on a deuce point.(4-6,6-4,3-2) If only they had more time. On court two Dan and Bob beat former Cedardale player Igor(7-5,6-4) in what was a great match with some clutch returning by Bob and strong serving by Dan.
Todd and Andy won in 3rd(6-3,7-5) fighting off their usual 2nd set let down.

In 4th Tony and Mickey decided to keep the title of Drama Queens by winning by one game(4-6,7-6,4-2). This marks the 4th time out of 6 that they have either won or lost by one game. And over on 5, Don and Paul won easily 6-0,6-4 with some late opponents donating some early games.

Next week we play one of the strongest Willows teams at home. It's always nice to beat the Willows

Home Streak Intact

Wow what a frustrating week. In a bid to end our home loss streak, we failed. Positions 1 & 4 came through with the victories but the rest of the positions came up a little short.

In what was probably the easiest match of the weekend, Dan and Adam cruised to a 6-4,6-4 win in first position, Then Paul and Don(4th) also won a straight set match 6-3,7-5. From there it went south. Todd and Andy(2nd) coughed up a frustrating 3-6,6-4,6-3 loss. Followed by yet two more one game defeats. For Mickey and Tony(their 3rd of the year) 5-7,6-4,4-3 . And over on 5 our Rehab starters, Mark and Chad also lost 3-6,6-3,4-3.

So luckily we have an away match next week. At my Favorite place..The Willows so let's keep our away win streak going!

Big Guns!

Ok, sorry for the late update. We had a great week. We brought in the big guns and came away with a team win. We won 3-2 this week with positions 1,2, and 4 winning. In first Dan and Adam played a spectacular match against some tough competition, winning a tough 3rd set to secure the win in one(3-6,6-3,7-5)
In second position Todd and Evan aka the "Shorties" won with a (6-4,1-6,6-1) not as close as the score looked.
Third position saw the first loss of the year for the team of Paul and Don. The first set really did them in. Although they would've won if they had not run out of time.(6-1,6-3,3-4)
In fourth, Tony and Mickey came up with the match to clinch the win. Finally getting their groove back on, and winning (6-4,7-5).
In Fifth position the "Newbies" Neil and Gary Lost a competitive and high quality match(6-4,6-2).
