The only thing I can promise when I play is that I'm going to do something spectacular. Now, if it is spectacularly good or bad, that is up in the air!

Great way for 'Kola to end the season with wins over Rafa and Fed. Davy could make a good aussie run.
My mixed team tried it on FB but it degraded into me and Bill talking back and forth. If I get another close kit team I will try again.
You should start a Group for your team here and invite them to join. Then you can all keep in touch with schedule and new photos, etc.

Strokes of Genius
I must give a shoutout to my favorite writer L. Jon Wertheim for his new book STROKES OF GENIUS: FEDERER, NADAL, AND THE GREATEST MATCH EVER PLAYED. Anybody that reads Wertheim's online mailbag column and his Tennis magazine stories will recognize some of the anecdotes and stories previously covered. It is fun to read them again as they are woven into this epic battle. Also the book is not only about Federer and Nadal you do get tidbits about Nole, Daydenko, even journeyman Marc Gicquel gets som… Continue

- Ahhhhh, you played against Lily and her hubby huh, you picked a rough couple didn't you? Lily plays on the court next to me on Wed nights with some ladies, she's a good player, strong serve, good volleys. Baseline shots are good also, very unusual style, she gets to the ball but lets it drop lower like racquetball then strikes the ball. She'd love me with all my topspin (ha ha). I played against her and her husband once for fun, nice guy but I pissed him off when I used drop shots on him, he got there on the second bounce and then hit them so hard into the ceiling her ripped the material. Oh well, part of the game son (ha ha). He hits pretty good though. I played on Lily's team for a while, I think it was a 7.0 mixed, thought it would be fun "IT WASN'T" that is why I don't play team tennis. I play cause I love the sport, not just to win at any cost. Mixed doubles hitting the ball 9 out of 10 times at the woman or trying to take their heads off with shots instead of playing it like there were 4 men on the court, I really hated it. One match the guy was head hunting my partner, then the typical raise of the racquet and saying sorry, once is sorry, 3 / 4 times is not. I was border line going over the net and kicking the guys ass, I could care less about getting kicked out of a USTA league, didn't want to get kicked out of my club though, so I quit.

- Hey Jazz,
So how'd you do against my club? Do you remember the names of the players you played against, more then likely I know who they are? What level did you play at, 3.5 or 4.0?

- Oh ya, I forgot to ask you, do you know anyone looking for an expensive ball machine? It's not one of those $500 cheap models, I paid over $1.700 for it. I might have used it 6 times since I bought it a few years back. I had so many people wanting to play me I just never had or have time to use it, it just sits in my bedroom (wifey loves that) ha ha

- Well that would work with me, but did you know it's supposed to be a high of 44 outside. At our club there is no court time available until after 1 due to kids group crap.
