Week Seven of 2022 USTA League Nationals Recap

Week seven, the final week, of 2022 USTA League Nationals is complete, here is a recap.

This weekend was just 40 & Over Mixed with two levels played in Arizona and two in Orlando.  The Orlando even had a day washed out by hurricane Nicole but they went to a short set format on Saturday and got all the matches in, although I think a few teams didn't make it.

The 6.0 level in Orlando had the PNW team missing, but the other teams played with a five-way tie at 3-1 with Middle States, Eastern, MOValley, and Southwest advancing having the better court records.  Southwest and Eastern won the semis to make the final where Eastern won 3-0.

The 7.0 level was in Arizona and after Eastern and Hawaii went 4-0, there was a big tie with six teams at 3-1, but NorCal and SoCal stood out with the best court records and took the spots.  Eastern and NorCal played in the final where NorCal won 2-1.

The 8.0 level was also in Arizona and a nice and tidy four teams went 4-0.  Middle States beat PNW 2-1 while Intermountain did the same with SoCal, and then PNW won the final 2-1.

Last, the 9.0 level in Orlando had Southern and Eastern go 4-0, and then a three-way tie at 3-1 saw PNW and Florida advance with the better court records.  Eastern and Florida advanced with 2-1 wins before Florida won the final 2-1.

That is a wrap for 2022 Nationals!  Well, there are some what they call "Invitationals" to be played in the Spring with the 65 & Over and Tri-Level Invitationals, but at this point, the next big thing is ratings which should be published the week after Thanksgiving, I'm guessing on 11/30.

Congratulations to the new 2022 Nationals Champs!
