What ties did we have for week 6 of 2023 USTA League Nationals?

This weekend's Nationals round-robin is complete so we can take a look at who has made the semis and what ties there were.  This weekend was a light one with just the 40 & Over 7.0 and 9.0 Mixed going on.

For the 7.0 level, there were four 2-0 teams after day one, but just two ended up 4-0, NorCal who didn't even drop a court, and Florida.  There were four 3-1 teams behind them and Eastern and Mid-Atlantic took the last two semi-finalist spots with better court records than Missouri Valley and Middle States.  Florida and NorCal were the top-2 picks to make the semis, and Mid-Atlantic and Eastern were 5th and 7th most likely, so the simulation did pretty well.

At 9.0, it was even more competitive with a bunch of 1-1 teams after day one, and the top-6 teams all being  3-1.  New England, PNW, and Midwest had the three best court records, and then Texas took the 4th spot being tied on court record at 8-4 but losing fewer sets than Southern.  All four of the semi-finalists were in the simulation's contenders.

Good luck the semis tomorrow!
