[fantic]

Ooo them's fightin' words. In all seriousness though, it seems that Capra/Goldfeld formed the more impressive team, but that's just judging by score lines.

Kahan has kind of a tough draw. It will be a test to see if she's ready to play at number 2. Hanna Mar already beat Urbina (I think), so I hope Rachel can do the same.

I don't think Turvy is a walkover She'll fight tooth and nail!

Anyway so far Duke Doubles are impressive, sent 2 teams from PQ, and along with Kahan/Gorny, that's an impressive 3 teams competing in Q.

Started uploading videos that I took at UCLA, but now I can't upload it, something's wrong

Riviera has no baseline view so can't record anyway, at best I could record Wolf's leg-through dribbling ritual Maybe one or two courts at the Upper courts provide a semblance of baseline view..

[fantic]

since I can't upload now I'm just reviewing the videos and Kate Fuller's volleys are already top level now..impressive, she even does it underhand sometimes How the hell did Zoe win
(Zoe also tried to come up to the net but there's a certain gap between them, on net approach and volley techniques)
Kate's serve return was quite aggressive too and effective at times..

[fantic]

so I'm always on the lookout for new players (or the ones I haven't or rarely seen), so the following players will have the 'honour' of being my particular attention tomorrow

Tulane doubles
Brown doubles
Nebraska doubles
Texas Tech doubles
Illinois doubles (Lambropoulos defeated Brooke Austin at the College Summer Circuit)
W&M doubles (haven't watched Cepeda)
OK State doubles
Princeton doubles (haven't watched Graff..wait..I suddenly remembered that I wrote a good review of Graff at the Hardcourt(SD) a MUST see then )
UTAH doubles
LSU doubles (haven't seen Burns)

damn too many doubles, and not enough time (only 8 games winning format )

Rohde-Moe
Craig
Morozova
Admin Error
White (saw a bit but not enough)
Stojic
Wolf(I've seen her but I miss her leg-through 'dribble' )
Epstein
Collins
Vasenina(saw her last year, a crafty player)
Nunic
Lilley
O'Neill(saw those two GT players a bit, but not enough)

Naturally PAC 12 especially players of So Cal teams are on the bottom of my viewing list since I can watch them at SD (SW Regional).
For national tournaments, naturally my focus is on the 'visitors'

[fantic]

uploading is working again.

soon-to-be uploaded Capra/Goldfeld vs Mira/Wu video has a 'guest' appearance by Gorny and Kahan

[fantic]

Announcement posted in the Men's restroom at Riviera says;

They are lifting the backdrops!!! (tarpaulin?)



Now the view will be IMMEASURABLY better!

[fantic]

eh, they didn't lift those yet

Sac St def. SDSU
CAL def. DUKE
TENN def. OK ST.
UCLA def. WM
UGA def. ILLINI
USD def. WM
PRIN def. UTAH
MICH def. LSU

USC was leading DUKE 5-2 but didn't watch further

no twitter for Q?
