The semi-finals for the Men at the 18 & over 4.5 Nationals are set and here are what they look like.
In one semi-final, Texas faces Midwest, both going 3-0 in their flights.
The other semi-final pits Southern Cal against Southern, both teams winning each of their flight matches as well.
This means the pre-Nationals #1, #6, #8, and #10 seeds made the semis.
But when factoring in play from the flights at Nationals, the ratings say Midwest and Southern should be in the final and Southern should win a very very close final. But this one is extremely close, the top-3 teams are separated by just 0.03, so no result would be a big upset.
Midwest into the final as expected, Southern Cal pulls the 3-2 upset
ReplyDeleteSouthern Cal pulled an upset on 1D, other courts went as expected
DeleteMidwest gets the National titie
ReplyDeleteYes I think we upset the southern team, they were very good, our line-up worked perfectly. The midwest team was very deep and deserved to win
ReplyDeleteMajor Congrats to the 4.5 champs...I see a new possible formula. Make sure half the team is self rated or appealed down, and make sure no ones TLS rating drops below 4.45, and make sure to have a strong connection to college tennis. Great job, I am simply bummed I didn't think of it first.. CONGRATS!!!!
