I won my first 5.0 league match tonight
I went 8-1 last season. 2 singles matches and 7 doubles matches with Jeff Shin (4yr player for gonzaga and my open doubles partner)
We were down 1-4 and I am not really sure how it happened. We lost the toss and they elected serve. We had 0-40 but then rich andrews (runs the sparetime academy for all the good juniors) decided to serve hard and got out of it. They broke Jeff (first games are weird)
We won 10 games in a row and ended up winning 1 and 4.
Our singles guy beat the #1 5.0 in norcal tournaments 6-1 6-1 (leagues are tougher)
We lost the other doubles match. My director was playing with the director from rio and they beat our team 10-1 in their match tiebreak.
This was the team to beat other than us. We are heavily favored in the next 2 matches but hopefully we can make it happen again the next time around =)

Would have loved to watch those matches - I really enjoy watching top notch amateur tennis. For a 4.5 player like myself, it is more realistic than watching the pros. I can relate to what the guys are actually doing strategy and stroke-wise if you will. Keep us posted!

Maybe you can get a friend to video a few points for us so that we can get a feel of the level.

The "yuba highlight" video I posted was with the same partner. That was an open tournament but the level is about the same

Sick Mike! Way to go! Maybe I will see you at districts or sections =)
Do you play singles or doubles for your team? 4.0 is 2 singles and 3 doubles matches?

Hopefully! :) I play singles. And yes it's 2 singles and 3 dubs. How does 5.0 work? It's not the same, 2 singles, 3 dubs?

Anyone ever been to a post season event? My team won districts and made it sections the last 2 yrs...
