Quick update on week two of 2021 USTA League Nationals

Day one of the second weekend of Nationals is complete and here is a quick summary.

The 40 & Over 4.0 women have six teams that are 2-0, but my simulation just one has a most likely record of 4-0 after today.  That leaves five teams vying for three spots, look for Southern, Midwest, Florida, Middle States, Texas, and Northern to compete for the spots.

The 40 & Over 4.0 men also have six teams at 2-0 and just one most likely to finish 4-0.  They just have four teams vying for the three remaining spots though and one 2-0 team very well could finish 2-2 and miss out.  Look for Middle States, Southern, Mid-Atlantic, PNW, New England, and Intermountain to be in it.

The 18 & Over 4.5 women have four teams at 2-0, and my simulation projects none of them to have a most likely record of 4-0 meaning a 6-way tie at 3-1.  Now, it is entirely possible at least one does get to 4-0, but if not, Intermountain, Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, Northern, Florida, and Texas are going to be competing for the four spots.

The 18 & Over 4.5 men also have four teams at 2-0, and this simulation also has a tie, with five teams at 3-1 as most likely.  Again, a 4-0 team may emerge, but look for MoValley, Texas, Southwest, SoCal, Southern, and Florida to be in the running.

Good luck everyone!
