2015 USTA League Nationals 18 & over 3.5 Men semi-finals are set, up to date prediction here

Today's matches appear complete for the Men at the 18 & over 3.5 Nationals and here are what the semi-finals look like.

In one semi-final, Florida and Texas will face off.  Texas was the top seed in their flight but Florida was second in theirs.

The other semi-final is the battle for California with Southern Cal playing Northern Cal, both top seeds in their flights.

This means the pre-Nationals #1, #2, #3, and #11 seeds made the semis.

But when factoring in play from the flights at Nationals, the ratings say Texas and NorCal should be in the final, but NorCal/SoCal should be really close, and Texas should win a very close match over NorCal.  But this one is close enough that how guys play and what match-ups the captains get will probably decide it.

It's not too late to get a team or flight report if anyone is interested.

  1. Quick ratings questions, my partner and I are both computer rated and we play one computer rated player and one self rate player. Since its only the self rate's second match does this match still get calculated into everyone's rating? Thanks for your insights.

    1. If it is the self-rated player's second match, I don't believe the match gets calculated for the other three. The self-rate must play a few more before they have their own rating and it would calculate for the others.
