Does anybody even pay attention to anything below 4.0?????
Thanks for the info but I've heard enough about all the "teams teams teams." I won over 75% of all the matches I played in this year. I've not been asked to be on a combo team and feel like the girl who didn't get asked to prom.
bridesmaid,
i feel your pain. i won 50% of my matches in regular season and didn't get an invitation to play on a mixed doubles team. combo season is coming up and so far no invites yet. i feel like the ugly step-sister!
The people who play below 4.0 are who pay attention to those levels, that's who.
