40 & Over Mixed Nationals update: One match to go

After some rain, delays, and short format matches, day two of USTA League 40 & Over Mixed Nationals is underway, and with most teams having three matches played, here is how things stand.

The 7.0 level is going to be a dog fight for the last spot.  Right now, there are 10 teams at 2-1 or better, just three at 3-0, so there will be a 3-1 team advancing and the tie could be big and close.  Right now, the updated simulation says the most likely size of the tie is five (5) teams and it could be as many as eight (8)!

The 8.0 level had six (6) undefeated after one day with a real chance of five (5) finishing that way, and right now, five still are, but because PNW lost to Midwest, it can't finish that way as IM and Florida still play each other.  We could have a tight tie at 3-1 though.

The 6.0 level still has four undefeated teams but it won't remain that way so a good chance of a close tie for this flight.

The 9.0 level still has four undefeated teams but it also won't remain that way, a good chance of some tie-breakers.

So look for the tie-breakers to come into play.  Hopefully they pick the most deserving teams.
