Well we haven't started our end of the season win streak yet. But we still have two chances left to get it going.
On to this weeks matches.. We lost 3-2 this week. On court one Evan and Tim, (making his debut this season) had a tough one losing by just two games 6-4,6-7,1-0. They had 2 break points in the last game to force a tiebreak for the match but didn't convert.
ON 2 Dan and Mike picked up a win cruising in the first set and then letting it get interesting in the second. Taking a second set tie break for the victory.(6-2,7-6)
ON 3 Andy and Todd picked up a win cruising in the first set and then letting it get interesting in the second. Taking a second set tie break for the victory.(6-1,7-6) -- deja-vu one better
Court 4 saw Tony and Don get a split set loss. With Don showing up a little late, it left no time for anymore games after the second set.(6-7,6-3) -- Bad Don, Bad ;-)
On 5, Paul and Gary just couldn't get any rhythm going. Playing together for the first time just didn't help. My fault. They lost in straights. (6-2,6-4)
Well with only 2 more weeks to go it's almost over. Not so bad, We have slipped into 6th place but I think that we'll pop back up into 5th by the end.
Also for an A1 Team outing at the end of the season A Golf outing has been suggested. I'm horrible at booking and organizing something like this but.. If we can figure something out,, Burgers and Beers at my house after the Golf. Plus I think we could take some of Adams' money on the course!!

aaaarrrrrggggghhhhh!
Well this week didn't go as well as I had hoped. Everyone played great with the exception of one. We lost 3-2 and probably put ourselves out of a playoff spot. But the good news is that we can save some money and not have to travel to play in late April.
On court One Adam and Evan rolled over an outmatched team. Over on Court 2 Dan and Bob were having some problems, untill their oppenents decided to hook em a couple of times. Then they picked it up and took em out.
After those positions it went down hill. In three Todd and Mike could only convert on 1 of 14 break points in the second set to lose a fustrating and winnable match in two sets(6-4,7-5),not to mention a racket..aaaarrrgggghhh.
On 4 Chad and Don had a tough one, with Don playing with an injured ankle they weren't able to get ontop of their oppenents losing by a break a set also.(6-4,6-4).
And on 5 Gary and Mickey ran outta time and lost by just one game.
Oh well 5th place isn't that bad.. who am I kidding it sucks!! ;-)

We need more Time!
Ouch!! Sorry for the late update to the site but man it's taken a while to get over our loss.. This was actually a good week for us. NONE of our teams actually were beat in sets. We lost 4 outta 5 matches because of the clock.
The match of the Week/Year though had to be Dan and Bobs tough loss. Bob injured himself early in the third set, and was barely able to continue. Bob showed incredible toughness hanging in there when he easily could of retired. With Dan covering most of the court. It was a gutsy third set that saw it come down to one point after the buzzer for the match. (4-6,6-2,5-5)
On courts 1,2,4&5 the same story played out. Everyone ran outta time while behind in games. I think they speeded up the clock.. Evan and Bob lost by a game. Mike E and Don lost by 3 games and Chad and Mickey lost by 2 games. In all 4 of our losses the matches were into the third sets. If this was the playoffs we would've had the time to finish the matches and beat em like we did in the first half.
Our one win was on court 3, Todd and Andy won in straights.
Well we're not out of the Hunt for a playoff spot yet. But With only 4 matches left we need every match to have a chance. Next week we have a home match against the #1 team. They beat us 4-1 in the first half and I'd like to get some revenge.
