In logic class, this fallacy is known as the "false dilemma".

Does anyone besides me remember that Agassi simply wasn't chosen for the team?
I'm not sure of that, but it is a lot more believable than the story that he
turned down an invitation.

At the time of the invitation, Courier, Sampras and Chang were the highest
ranked Americans who had won grand slam events.  The only others were the
lower ranked McEnroe and Connors. Both Courier and Chang had won the French on
clay. Not choosing McEnroe was considered controversial at the time (during the
Australian Open.)  Agassi did not have much of a winner's image and was in a
slump; he was skipping the Australian and had lost in the 1st round of the
US Open.  It was only after Andre finally did well again at the French and
Wimbledon that it started looking like they should have chosen him. He had
one of the worst seasons of any top player EVER before the French.

You generally get 1 point for losing in the first round of an ATP tourney.
That rewards the players who won several qualifying rounds to get there,
and also whomever gets a wild card (like Borg.)

Doesn't Jim Pugh (of Leach and Pugh doubles fame) hit a two handed forehand
from both sides.  I know he hits two handed from both sides, and I believe
he switches hands so that both shots are symmetrical.

As previously mentioned, Luke Jenson can serve with either hand.  He tends to
serve right handed to the deuce court and left to the add court so that he can
swing it wide to either side.  He also hits his overheads with either hand so
he never has to hit a backhand overhead.

Well this is good news for those who lust after famous (and "handsome")
tennis personalities.  The British Broadcasting Corporation reported
yesterday that Boris Becker has broken up with his girl friend.  Now,
perhaps he can get back to playing tennis.  That may not necessarily
be the case, however.  NBC reports that Boris is in Barcelona to "schmooze
and have a good time" rather than win any medals.  Courier, on the other
hand, is treating the Olympics as another Grand Slam event.

Do you mean, "Why is he not at the Olympics?"  If so, it's because he
wasn't selected for the team.  He just won the Players Limited 
International (Canadian Open) in Toronto last Saturday, so he's not 
injured or partying.

USTA Adult leagues are meant to provide competition between players of similar
skill levels.  Winners of local leagues are qualified to compete in sectionals
and possibly national championships.  

In order to compete, you must be a member of USTA and you must be officially
rated according to the NTRP rating system.  The system is primarily based on
visual evaluation of your strokes and experience on the court.  In addition,
past tournament records, age, and previous league records are considered.

For NTRP's less than 5.0 (this level is played by previous collegians), teams
consist a minimum of 8 players (all of the same sex, so mixed is not allowed).
A match consists of 2 singles and 3 doubles; the winner of the match is
determined by winning the majority of the matches.  The winner of the league is
based on local league regulations.

Players deemed to be playing outside of their skill level are disqualified and 
all wins are turned into losses.  This can be very disappointing to take a team
to the sectional competition and be disqualified on the last day (take it from 
first-hand experience).

Although the league is recreational, most players take a very competitive
attitude during the league.  In fact, teams that do not qualify almost always
have the "Wait till next year!"  attitude.  Teams almost always have one
practice a week and team shirts are almost mandatory.

League play begins around February/March with sectional competition occurring 
during the summer.  Nationals are held in September/October.  

Three teams are required to constitute a league.  You can probably get
information about next year's league in December when the ratings for the
previous year are posted.  Look for this information in pro shops, tennis
clubs, and public courts.    


Good luck,

[stuff deleted]

The other day, I saw a guy who was obviously imitating Becker's service
motion (deep knee bend, etc.) but wasn't getting quite the same results -
he had almost nothing on the ball.  He probably would have been able to
hit a nice hard serve if he had used a simpler motion without all the
fancy knee bending.  So I agree with you... you can admire MacEnroe's
volleys, but "don't try this at home"!  :)

On the other hand, I do like to watch the pros because I find that
afterwards I play much better tennis.  I don't think I'm imitating anyone
(consciously, at any rate) but the level of my game definitely goes up
after watching a good match.

    Isn't it interesting how the "most handsome" players that people
have selected also are always in the top ten?   How frustrating it
must be to a lower ranked player!   Doesn't play tennis as well
and they aren't attractive either!

Some interest was generated earlier on the whereabouts of Eliot
Teltscher, but I would be interested to know what happened to Gene
Mayer, a player who played around Teltscher's time. And what
happened to Gene's brother Sandy Mayer?

Thus they've extended that lead to two games, and climbing fast.
The Braves already ARE lucky, cuz they've done both of those things, and
they're not tiring. Besides, with the best record in the last 40 games, they're
about as hot as any team is gonna get this entire season... Face it.
they're for real, and your Reds and your Padres are gonna be watching from
the stands come the fall.
