2025 The Hard Road through New York: Red, White and Blue Lounge

After the Wimby loss to Sinner, I say he wants another crack at him ASAP. Before the USO. See how he can handle Sinner's baseline strokes on this kind of court.
I say they meet in the final.

this schedule is whack.

Winston Salem already started? Cinci final is monday? wut?

at least I'll have several trades left for USO since I missed doing any for WS!

So, the USO draw was always one of holding one's breath to see how many (un)fortunate match-ups would hit your team. All things considered, I kinda lucked out, apart from Opelka vs. Alcaraz. Being just a single point behind 3rd I had to do... Something. I found picking anyone that made sense and wasn't already on my team a challenge, really, with most other cat. C players either having a so/so or worse first round draw of a mostly poor hardcourt summer thus far. So, in the end... Allez La Monf which in part feels like a "for old time's sake" kind of pick.

bad day for Ben Shelton = not good for my team either. I kept Ben instead of trading for Alcaraz, mostly because of points and I would have had to do multiple trades to do it. well...oops. bad luck. but worse for Ben.

I traded him in.
His kiss of death.
Sorry, Ben. My bad.
