We fell short in 4...18+ Nationals is in two weeks. We fell short in 40+ Sectionals. <br /><br />We have a bit of a loophole in the DC league, in that you advance straight to sectionals from the local league, there are no regional playoffs. Compare that to NOVA, where you usually have local league playoffs, then you have to fight through a very tough regionals. That being said, my NOVa team fell just short. Because DC plays on the weekends at Hains Point, which is closer for me than many NOVa areas even though I live in NOVa, it just works in my schedule better. Its a strong team, but we have Texas in our group! That will be a tough match for sure!<br /><br />GLThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11256971532026764321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7858683431726807124.post-3052464603201772572016-09-24T10:23:54.772-04:002016-09-24T10:23:54.772-04:00You went to Nationals?!!!??!

Cheap (don't buy it at places like Sports Authority! should only be 5 bucks per pack) and a good string.

It's funny , I almost asked for Stan Wawrinka's instead because I <A>just knew</A> that none of you guys had heard of him and I would be teased forever. :D<BR/><BR/>I really hope he comes to Washingto next year too. This year he decided not to because Davis Cup was the week before and it's not exactly practical to go from Finland to N. America. I'm not so sure though, because the Beijing Olympic tennis tournament is being held the same week as Legg Mason!
