5/16 Update - Handicapping 2015 USTA League 40+ Nationals - Who are the favorites to win it all in the men's 40 & over division?

This is the second update to my Nationals Previews taking a look at the strongest men's teams by level in the 40 & over division of USTA League tennis.  Strength of a team is based on taking an average of the Estimated Dynamic NTRP Ratings I calculate for each team.

I am continuing with using the top-8 average which I did last time.

Here are the new lists:

  1. 3.7 and 3.63 at 3.5 and 40s at that. Those are well within the next level.

    4.15 in 4.0? What is going on in Southern and Texas?

    1. Austin allowed their teams to play with last year's ESR. Last year a Dallas captain tried to get Dallas to do the same but he was told that USTA Texas in Austin required no more ESR for the 40s leagues.

      Hmmmm...
