2021 USTA League Nationals starts today! Time to check the weather forecast

Today is the first day of the 2021 USTA League Nationals.  The 18 & Over division start things off with the 3.0 men and women in Oklahoma City, the 3.5 men and women in Surprise, AZ, and the 5.0 men and women in Phoenix.

As I write this Friday morning, matches should be underway in Oklahoma City, but oddly TennisLink does not yet show the schedule in the "Match Summary" tab.  The other levels do have the full schedules on TennisLink.  The PDF schedule for all has been available for awhile.  I'm sure they will get it fixed, but I wonder if there will be delays in posting results for the 3.0 event? [see update below]

I will be monitoring what goes on and will likely write about anything odd or interesting that comes up.

But something that is always interesting is the weather and its potential impact on play.

OKC's forecast is a little iffy, with thunderstorms moving in late today and rain lingering tomorrow morning, but otherwise appears to be ok.  Let's hope they get matches in today and there aren't delays tomorrow morning.

The Arizona weather is near perfect, if not slightly warm as highs will be in the low 90s with no chance of rain.

Good luck to all!

Update: The schedules for the 3.0 level are now on TennisLink.
