Deja-Vu

Well week one didn't exactly go as planned. But what does? This year we started our first week off the same way we started last year. With a 3-2 loss at the hands of Newburyport. Not to bad considering that Newburyport is projected to be this years a1 division champs, After losing in the finals last year 3-2 to the insanely good Manchester team.

So what happened this week? Well let us take a look.

Starting things off at the ungodly time of 9:30am. Positions 1 and 2 faced some tough competition. On court 1 Adam and Courtney picked the wrong side of the court to start the match on. Seeing as how anyone on the north side of the court couldn't miss and everyone on the south side looked as if they hadn't ever held a racquet before. They lost in the streaky (6-1,1-6,6-1) kind of way. On Court 2 Chad and Tony didn't have much luck either as they started out slow. Once they got it together they were in a position to push the match to 3 sets but ended up losing the 5 point tie breaker.(6-1,7-6)

Now for the teams that got to eat brunch. We almost stunned em. But didn't. On court 3, Dave and Todd needed a 3rd set to put away a veteran team.(6-3,2-6,6-2). Court 4 saw the match of the day as Mike and Eric facing certain defeat, down 2 breaks in the 2nd set, and after losing the 1st set. Came back and won the 2nd set and continued their momentum to pull to a big lead in the 3rd. Winning the match by one game.(3-6,7-5,5-3) On court 5 Mickey and Frank had some bad luck having to play a team that was just playing great. (6-4,6-3)

Last year we started off the same way, Ended the first half 1 point behind this team for first place. This year lets end the 1st half 1 point or more ahead of them. Next up is one of the Willows teams. Dave says the willows are push-overs. So lets beat em.
