Paul Weller

It was great; it was very competitive. I think both teams had opportunities to win. That's a credit to (the Panthers). They played much better in singles. I think our girls showed a lot of grit coming back and playing like they did in doubles; I think it showed great resilience on their part.

Jim Sheehan

It always comes down to doubles. You could have the best player in the world, and odds are you won?t win all four singles matches. You have to have good doubles.

All of our singles players played very solid matches today, they played very clean and had very few errors.

Debbie Ashenbrenner

So I do think of myself in that way as hopefully someone who will go on as long as there's an audience and as long as I can without striving to have huge hit records because I think in a way if I'd had hit singles or something like that years ago it would have been difficult for me to carry on the way I have.

Jack Bruce

[It all starts with freshman first singles player Alena Tesone.] She's real consistent and aggressive, ... She is doing great.

Tony Larson

We played well, sweeping doubles and winning three out of four singles matches in straight sets.

Our singles players had a tough day.

We lost four great seniors and our No. 1 singles player from last year. We're basically trying to rebuild our team.

We have two number one singles players. Nikki and Gabe are both dynamic players.

Jon Valencia

We're just stronger in singles. We couldn't hold Elliott back anymore.

Joanne Mcleod

With only 12 players on a team and to have lost six of those players - that leaves some big shoes to fill. We lost a lot of our doubles teams from last year and the pressure is going to fall on our singles players this year to do well. We won't be able to count on our doubles teams to sweep.

Mike Blake

We didn't expect to lose against Malaysia, but our men's singles play was plagued by a poor level of fitness, thus they lost easily.

It was a good performance from the singles all around against a strong Aspen squad. And they've been practicing indoors.

Dave Weisfeldt

We moved singles into doubles and doubles into singles. We put the juniors together to see what might work for next year.

Gerard Sullivan

We played well against Leander High School (10-1) and I was pretty happy with the results. With Leander Cedar Park (10-0), I really felt like that was going to be a close match and we were up 7-0 after the doubles. That's hard to beat whenever you come out that well and our momentum carried us right through the singles. That was a good win.

Fhs Coach Randall King

We will be unique in offering record companies flexibility in pricing. For new artists we can offer singles at 39p to stimulate demand.

Gennaro Castaldo

That (home run) was incredible. I never would have thought in a million years that would happen. I'm used to hitting singles and doubles, and that came out of nowhere. That shut them down.

Kyle Levins

The schedule is set up for singles or doubles to compete against highly ranked teams in the nation.

Laura Goutcher

I thought I could take her in singles. I took a few chances here and there, but she's a good player.

Sarah Batty

We could have hung it up after the singles competition. I looked like an insurmountable lead. A guy once said that when I work harder I get luckier. I think we made a little bit of luck for ourselves in the doubles. It was an unbelievable come-from-behind-victory.

Jerry Lyon

I think not only do area teams have some good No. 1 singles players, they also have plenty of depth. What makes a team capable of going to state finals is their ability to fill other girls in.

Jerry Gerig

We've been hitting the ball hard, and we've really focused on hitting the ball in the gaps. We're not happy with just singles.

Scott Haney

We were fortunate to win the doubles point. It was a great effort by Birmingham-Southern. But after the doubles competition we played very well in singles. We are looking forward to the final match.

Cid Carvalho

It's a great win. There are five good players in our team who are ready to play either in the singles or doubles.

Mikhail Youzhny

It takes a lot of pressure off. We could just go out there and not have to worry about anything. We had five singles matches and we only had to win two. With the quality of players we have it would have been a surprise if we didn't win.

Diana Srebrovic

Ben is a better doubles player than he is a singles player. He does a good job of figuring out a way to win. He has great hands at the net.

There are theories that can form binary stars and theories that can form single stars, but there none that explain why you form more singles than binaries.

We were behind going into singles and these guys kept battling. They kept fighting and played some great singles matches. It's a great way to start the season.

David Lipe

Singles-wise, we're one of the best teams in the country, no doubt about it. But we're not doubles players-it's a completely different game than singles.

Tyler Browne

I wanted to show the stamina and strength of the men's singles game in China so I focused really hard to aim to get one point at a time and when I got to 10-13 I felt much more confident.

Lin Dan

Elliott has parlayed his doubles skills into a solid singles player. He has a great net game and I thought he mental toughness really showed through. He could have folded, but he came back and won it.

Norm Bruemmer

He's really come out strong. He's been very steady and not flamboyant. He keeps the ball constantly in play, which is what you need at fifth singles.

Carol Evans

If a hitter has been in a slump, he should not be trying to hit home runs. They should go for doubles and singles. You've got to build your credibility, go back to the fundamentals.

Howard Bragman

I felt real good after the singles, but we just didn't produce in the doubles. We've got a lot of work to do there, because that's where you win a lot of close matches.

Allen Hornthal

Finally Friday's is first and foremost a singles dance. We never solicit married couples to attend. However, we do allow, even encourage, our single members to invite their married friends and relatives to attend as couples together (subject to the club's rules and regulations).

Gerald Pruitt

The big thing was we knew Claudia wasn't going to be able to move that well?[She] really gutted it out to make a match in both doubles and singles.

Alison Ojeda

They've got some good singles and doubles players. They could make a serious run for the region championship.

I think it will be a lot like our first match, where Nos. 2-3 singles will be critical.

I lost the opening singles here against Romania in five sets, but I will try to use that experience to my benefit, ... I just hope I get the win on Friday.

Mario Ancic

We are, as far as I know, the only totally independent singles event in Memphis.

People are telling me I should play rep stuff again but I'm enjoying playing when I want to. Because of a back problem I may have to give singles away soon but I love doubles too much to give that away.

Carole Rowsell

Four of the five singles matches could have gone either way.

John Fisher

Winning a big goal is always very difficult. She had some amazing wins. She was No. 1 in singles and doubles. But the Grand Slam is something special and it's difficult. . . . Now she finally did it. So I hope many more will come.

Marc Dehous

In the second inning we made two consecutive errors and they scored two runs us. And then they had three singles right in a row to start the fifth inning and that opened the floodgates.

Chad Bell

We both got to know each other first as friends. The singles dances provided an environment for friendship, which took the pressure off.

Onda Roberts

I would like to finish my senior season with 82 wins, which means that we make it to the finals and I win all of my singles matches. I know that we can get there, and I bet this time we will give Western Michigan a run for their money when we do.

Heidi Romer

It's always nice when your one, two, three and four hitters get up there and they just pound the ball, (and) then you get to the bottom of the order, and those kids get singles and doubles. That makes it a fun day.

Phil Forbes

Army is a pretty strong team. They've beaten us the last couple of years. It's just going to be another match like we've played in the past. Both teams are pretty strong with both singles and doubles. Hopefully, we will be able to play them outside, which will be a little more of an advantage for us because they are a little more of an indoor team.

Mickey Cook

Boys singles is stacked. Only the No. 1's play the No. 1 so it shows players how they stack up with others across the state.

Jess Munro

In our conference, if we win doubles, we have a big advantage. Most teams, because of lack of scholarships, have a drop off in the bottom of their singles, we don't have that.

Tim Maluga

Kyle challenged for No. 3 singles, but when he didn't get it we talked about how well he and Matt played.

Robb Audette

We're going to be a singles, doubles team. We're hoping for more line drives than ground balls.

Dan Nobbs

We really struggled at the beginning of the year. A lot of pitchers took a beating. We couldn't miss a bat in the early season. It wasn't so much opposing batters hitting the ball hard; it was bloopers, singles, errors and then a double in the gap. We've stepped it up over the last month.

Andy Larned

I'm pleased how she's done moving into No. 2 singles in our lineup. Everybody is doing well so far, and I hope things continue to go that way.

Glenn White

Christi Murphy also played well in singles and doubles. She was hitting her forehand well today, and she was very aggressive at the net in doubles.

Donald Clark

The early matches will solidify our lineup. Finding the right doubles combinations will settle who's playing third singles. We have eight guys fighting for seven spots, and there's not a lot of drop-off. If we can come up with the right chemistry we'll be very competitive.

Keith Mullins

There are no home runs here. But if you get a lot of singles, you can score some runs.

Myron Brilliant

I want to write a book about a schoolteacher who's murdered picking up someone when she's cruising a singles bar.

Judith Rossner

This may be the best team they've had. They're underrated, but we knew they would be a good team. They lived up to their end. We got off to a bad start in singles, and our No.1 and No. 2 were off the court way too fast.

Billy Pate

It's tough to start 0-4 (in singles matches) and come back to win five straight matches. That's a big hole to come out of.

Jeff Carrow

It was good to find somebody who I thought would be in a similar place. As it transpired, I was misinformed. I thought they'd be a bit darker than they were, but I was impressed by their singles 'Darts of Pleasure' and 'Take Me Out.' And though they were quite light, they did it in a good way.

Kele Okereke

I really like doubles because there's more involved than in singles. We bounce off each other. We pick each other up. It's nice to share the responsibility. We both like to serve and volley which makes us a very aggressive team.

Jackie Hughes

We have more home run hitters now than we had in the past. We (used to have) a lot of guys who could hit singles pretty consistently. But we've got some guys now who are big and physical enough to run through some tackles and make some big plays.

Sonny Dykes

We had some close matches and had some opportunities with some of the other singles and doubles, but couldn't quite pull them out.

Donalyn Woeste

It seems like we've had just as tough a match at second singles as first all year. He's going up against guys that have been taking professional lessons longer than he's been playing tennis. But he's really held up his end of the deal. I expect him to go a long way.

Mark Mathias

We played well. It was nice to win five singles matches right away. Anytime you can take five singles matches, you feel pretty confident. It was a good team win.

Cary Justmann

Going from raising two singles to twins, it would break my heart when both were crying and you could only get to one at a time.

Christine Mazier

He's fitting in well at the singles position. He makes his opponents work hard, and he never goes down without a fight.

Wesley Smith

This law creates an unfair barrier to education and singles out working-class Americans.

Adam Wolf

We don't have the two big guns in the singles, but we are good enough players to possibly snatch one of those singles matches.

Wayne Arthurs

It was exciting. We were 2-all and first singles was still on the court. John really came back in the third set. He really got himself focused and played a nice third set.

Dave Higgs

It's a good place for singles to find fellowship. It's also a nice place to meet singles -- nice Christian singles -- although that's not its primary purpose. Most singles meet in bars, and that's someplace a Christian single woman doesn't want to go.

Mary Nichols

Beijing has treated me well, ... I won the challenger last year in singles and won the doubles here last year too. I played well in singles here this week and won the doubles again so I've felt very comfortable here in Beijing.

Justin Gimelstob

I want our team to advance, but I'd like to advance in (the singles) tournament, too.

Samantha Deroo

My favorite tracks are 'Sea of Joy', 'Can't Find My Way Home,' 'Presence of the Lord' and 'Had to Cry Today' -- all four are classics. If Blind Faith had not been such a brief thing, would probably all have been released as singles. Great shame.

Ginger Baker

We knew we needed to be aggressive and get those doubles points. Getting all those points helped us. (It) Gave us confidence going into the singles.

Tony Larson

It was always our dream to win a singles title at the same tournament. It never happened, so this is the first time that we did an event together that we both won. It feels really good.

John Greer

She will most likely be our No.2 player after the break. She's an excellent singles player. We think she'll have the same type of success.

Mark Seidenberg

Sure, I always thought that, in this game, the objective is to be the best player you can be. He knows he can get singles. See if you can do that and be like Edgar, ... If you're worth your salt as a player, that's what you want -- to be the best you can be.

Tony Gwynn

We kind of had a feeling she'd be good at singles and, needless to say, she is.

David Bruncke

He played pretty well. He looked more relaxed. I moved him from second singles to see if he could get a win, and he did. That was a good win for him to get under his belt.

Tom Lonergan

I was very happy to get Margo back. And her two singles showed how much we've missed her.

Bill Freeman

We competed well in singles, but our bottom three doubles teams are all new players. We're losing on inexperience.

Tom Lonergan

Caitlin is getting comfortable playing in first singles and settling into the position. She played well against Thompson.

Chuck Merzbacher

Madison and Natalie played (Pickerington Central's girls twice during the regular season in singles. They won both, so we had a mental advantage over them. UA was the bigger match. I wasn't even worried about the finals. The UA match is the one we wanted because anytime you can beat UA, it's big.

Janet Disbennett

We're playing pretty well right now. We have a quality team, and when we play a tournament like we did today with reduced numbers - two singles matches and three doubles matches - we're pretty competitive.

Gary Wagher

We've seen a big improvement at No. 2 and No. 3 doubles, and we've seen a big improvement at No. 4, 5, 6 singles.

Dale Short

One of the things that we have going for us is that 'I'm kind of an old-fashioned singer-songwriter in a really hard rock band.' There haven't been too many combinations of that that really worked. We make good albums with good singles that appeal to a mass audience.

Art Alexakis

Black River Falls has good singles players. But we're a little farther along with our doubles teams.

Mark Ross

Her play just keeps getting better every year. She's just a fantastic singles player. I expect she'll be a real successful districts player.

Mark Kohley

Obviously my goal is to win the state singles championship, but I really am not feeling a lot of pressure.

Christine Johnston

We played really well, especially the singles. They're a really good team. It was nice to finally play a match and we found out some things we need to work on.

Mike Carr

We did a great job getting the doubles point. Going into singles, it was a really solid effort from everybody. It came down to Dee Dee and we had a lot of confidence in her ability to do it.

Christian Wright

I have never played ballroom dancing before. As a matter of fact, I have strictly avoided it. I think it is a beautiful dance but I don't think it accommodates itself to singles. So many people get competitive over it. I haven't had it, but we're going to have it.

Gerald Pruitt

What we're saying is it's too close to call. There were a handful of tickets left, and we're trying to figure out where they were, if they were singles. Obviously, the computations, we want to make sure we're accurate. There were a handful of seats here and there.

Gillian Zucker

Molly has struggled a little bit with winning because she's always playing the best singles player on the other team. But she's turning into a great player.

Mark Kohley

Everybody puts everything on the court. Our singles team are always hustling and we are a solid team from the top to bottom.

Bruce Herr

Our singles players played really well. They showed a lot of composure and took care of business. They didn't relax, even when they were ahead.

Bruce Herr

There's an absence of things to do for adult singles in the area. There aren't places like there used to be 15 or 20 years ago with piano bars. As you're over 30, you grow out of rock places.

Art Wurster

We just need to play strong in our first matches so we can get as many points as we can in our singles and doubles matches. If we do that, we'll be doing pretty good.

Laura Goutcher

Busy people, singles, anyone who needs help. Decorating for Christmas can be a lot more work than a lot of people want to deal with, but decorations are what make the holidays special. It?s a perfect job for Alpine Angels.

John Groome

We played pretty good our first time out. Our doubles really played well. We just have a few things to work on, one is our consistency in singles.

Wade Stueve

Zhang Ning surrendered the game to save energy for the women's singles.

Chen Hong

We came out on one and two doubles and didn't play within our game. We calmed down and played within our game in singles. We have pushed Stanford more than any other team and we will just get more confident in the next month and a half.

Jan Brogan

Both those guys have improved tremendously. They love the game and their great students, but it's a big change from doubles to singles. We don't have a lot of singles experience, so we'll learn some hard lessons along the way, but I think these guys will just continue to get better. We may, however, have to move them back to doubles sometime along the way.

Jerry Buchert

The guys played well in singles today, only dropping 10 games. Corey and Jeremy hung in there at No. 3 doubles, winning the last three games to pull out the win.

Lee Matthews

Digital sales aren't growing fast enough to replace the losses in our traditional business. The challenge for the industry is to find some balance between singles sales and album sales. We want to create an artist experience, not a singles experience.

Charles Goldstuck

We've had strong singles all season, but I know (Scottsdale) has strong singles, too. I know it's going to be a good match against them.

Laura Goutcher

We have a nice one, two, three punch at singles.

Howard Fisher

I'm still looking for a partner for him because he's the best doubles player we've got, really. If Ryan and Colin decide they want to play singles, then I can put Taylor and Mitch at No. 1 doubles and I don't think anyone can beat them.

Paul Pautsch

I think we'll be balanced from top to bottom. Our singles are strong because there is a lot of experience back there.

Brian Hoff

We play No. 1 doubles, its up in the air still. The singles will explain some of it, but its not going to be clearer until tomorrow afternoon.

Mike Zanatian

Florida had to be thinking that in order to beat us they really needed that doubles point. So we knew they were really going to bring it in the doubles and they did. But we also knew that it was going to be very hard for them to beat us in singles three times, we would really have to not play well. They came awfully close to doing that but we were able to fight and hold on.

Manuel Diaz

We knew we were going to have two very tough matches at the top two (singles positions).

Lin Loring

While it was disappointing to lose the singles, the fact we had come back from a similar position the previous year to win gave us the belief that we could do the same thing again.

Denys Flaherty

It was a great match at No. 1 singles. Kovacs is a really good player. That may be the best match that Jordan has played this year.

Rich Dukeshier

She makes our team a more compete team at two. She's probably our best doubles player, but she's a good singles player, too.

Nich Schafer

Both of those guys played extremely well. Those two are going to play a challenge match this week for the No. 2 singles spot in our upcoming tournaments. It will be an interesting week of practice.

Gary Wagher

I'm not sure there's a big win available. You've got to hit a bunch of singles.

Charlie Black

The nature of our team is that we depend on our doubles a lot. We have a balanced team. For us to beat better teams, we have to win both doubles and have one of our singles come through.

Jeff Holman

For any player to reach 100 wins is special. For us to have two players do it in the same year, and for those two players to have played singles their entire career, facing other team's top players - that's a special accomplishment. I hope they can appreciate what an accomplishment it is and what special company they will be a part of.

Jeff Holman

Our four singles players are definitely gifted.

Jim Solomon

We had a lot of great energy to start the doubles and singles, and we created a lot of opportunities for ourselves. I was happy with our solid play and it was a good match for us to learn from. We will be back out on the courts tomorrow against Cal, giving it our best shot.

George Husack

She was worried for a long time about getting home runs and triples. Finally she's come to the conclusion that singles and doubles aren't bad.

Roger White

We are focused on our double play. And we are improving on tactics and point construction in singles.

John Blackburn

We started with singles today because of the weather forecast. Unfortunately, we came out flat and never got into our rhythm.

Guido Baumann

We'd rather win (the doubles point) than lose it. But in the long run, it wasn't going to make the difference. Our girls came out firing in singles and took it upon themselves to keep it going.

Richard Gallien

Relationships.com gives Christian singles the tools they need to interact and have a voice within their community. Finally, Christian singles are empowered to find their soul mates.

David Siminoff

I really can't say enough about the three singles players. They really get the job done.

Dave Higgs

Last year I was hitting mostly soft singles, ... This year I've got my swing back, and I'm hitting with authority. I've always been able to put the ball in play, and I've never seen myself as a small guy (he's 5-10, 188 lbs).

Freddy Sanchez

It's always good to beat your rival and it's also good that out of our four singles points, two were from our freshmen.

Arlo Elkins

I was hoping that we could have got more doubles matches. (Murrieta) is tough in singles with Corey and Neal, so we had to make it up somewhere.

Ray Fisher

We're very lucky to have Chris on our team. He makes everyone around him better. Playing No. 1 singles isn't easy because you're facing the best competition every day, but he's doing a great job there.

Matt Kuk

The songs are great and they're radio-friendly, ... so we have six, seven, eight possibilities at singles.

Clive Davis

We had those four singles matches out there where, other than No. 1 singles, any of them could have gone either way. The only point where I started to feel good was after we won the fourth point.

Steve Bietau

She continues to improve and is definitely one of the strongest singles players in the region.

Budd Booth

There were some good matches, ... No. 1 singles was a long match and went down to the wire. J.J. McLeod at No. 3 really toughed out a three-setter.

Asher Cohen

You can do two different cycles at the same time. It's great for singles or older people. The single drawer, especially, is great for those with handicaps.

Steve Phillips

We're trying to stay mentally focused at the beginning of singles. We need to put an exclamation point on the doubles, and we did a better job of that today.

Jay Lapidus

I was pleased with Matt Salmon's effort -- he stepped in at 1 singles for Nick Sale, who was injured, and had a nice match, did his best. Drew Simon had a very good effort against Lafayette Jeff's strongest point, a senior. And 1 doubles were steady against a very good team.

Shawn Flanary

I think our best chances are at No. 3, 4 and 5 singles and No. 2 doubles.

Jason Golden

We need to start off solid with the doubles point and keep playing solid with the singles. We have to keep playing how we've been playing.

Marc Spicijaric

We had three of our four singles players win their draws.

Jim Solomon

It is just becoming beyond the reach of working singles and many families with children. ... We're happy to get the big Bed, Beth and Beyond and Sports Authority and Wal-Mart, but where will the people who work there live?

Jeff Daly

Alicia has had a fantastic season. To place fifth in Flight 1 singles is an outstanding achievement. We look forward to watching Alicia compete in the future. She's only going to get tougher and improve her game.

Lisa Link

Carla Gross is a new girl who's playing third singles. She loves the responsibility of being the only girl out there. She's also very quick on her feet. She can cover most of the court. She's a great positive for me as a sophomore, and I see her as a future No. 1 in years to come.

Steve Kot

Here's my system. Music that's five years old should be a nickel. Music's that's three to four years old, you should pay a dime. If it's two years old, it's 50 cents and for new singles, 75 cents.

Perry Farrell

We knew they would be tough in the singles matches so we knew we needed to win at least two doubles matches to have a chance. We won three and after that we really took their confidence down and we were able to pick up two more wins in singles play.

Tony Larson

I am hopeful that some changes at second and third doubles positions, a new varsity player at third singles and the home court advantage will give us the edge we have been looking for.

Jason Campbell

We've had, knock on wood, over 12 singles. But for somebody who's not truly a Backstreet fan, [who] wants to go out and buy five different records? ... To be able to go and buy their greatest hits, I'd do that in a heartbeat.

Howie Dorough

We were just as strong today as we were yesterday; we didn't come out flat. Not getting the doubles point hurt us, but the singles matches were very tight.

Tracy Honko

It was definitely our depth that won this match. We won at the four, five and six singles positions. Last year a lot of the time we'd win matches at one, two and three. This was how we wanted to replace (former Duck Daria) Panova and I felt like we did it.

Nils Schyllander

I did everything. I gave up two singles, a double, hit a guy, walked a guy and struck out a guy. The only thing I didn't do was give up a home run.

Chris Booker

They made a good showing today. That Providence team (first singles champion Stone and Richardson) is really playing well. You can't volley against those guys.

John Bayer

The speed dating is an additional feature to the event. Couples and other singles not interested in speed dating are invited to attend, as well.

Tanya Bumstead

I was really happy, especially with my first set, ... I took Anna-Lena extremely seriously because I had never played her in singles before. I came out from the beginning, the first point of the match, ready to play. It was nice to see how well I was playing.

Mary Pierce

[Anderson had moved into the No. 3 singles position as a result of a lineup change for Tuesday's match.] I talked to the other boy about it, but I felt comfortable with the switch after seeing [Anderson] play in a tournament recently, ... I felt it would come down to this position and [Anderson] came through. He's a hard-nosed kid.

Jim Cook

I would definitely say our singles players are the strength of our team. They have really been great in practice and they obviously did a real nice job today.

Tim Wagner

Davis is going to be very good this year. They've got tough doubles and even tougher singles.

Bob Spencer

Although many of our members are charter members, our primary commitment remains the determination to provide a friendly and wholesome environment for the recently single person to meet and fellowship with other singles.

Gerald Pruitt

When we found out that J.P. would not be available for the season, we recognized an opportunity to get David and we went for it, David is a strong athlete who is getting better every day. He can play singles and doubles, he gets you some easy points with his big lefty serve, and he works hard in practice. We will make him feel right at home here in New York.

Chuck Adams

I played a tremendous match. It was one of the best matches in my whole career... I'm very happy to win my second (WTA singles) title so soon.

Michaella Krajicek

Alicia played outstanding singles today. Her strategy combined with her execution of points played a major role in her success against both Hettinger and Bloomberg. To play for an ESD championship in flight one is quite an accomplishment.

Lisa Link

I told him he absolutely had to get out there. I told him to put it behind him and go play better tennis, and he did. He hit more quality shots in that little match than he did in his entire singles match.

Nancy Clouse

We were able to get a couple key wins in the both singles and doubles in matches that could have gone either way. There's some (matches) that we won 7-5. Those just as easily could have been 5-7 the other way. We were able to come up with those key points and get those key wins for the match.

Bryan King

We had good wins in doubles. But we're going to have to work on our singles.

Mike Blake

He?s a huge boost. Any time you get a kid who?s going to crack the singles lineup it?s a boost.

Joe Vaverchak

To be honest, I?m not just a doubles player, ... Singles is my first priority. But I got a wild card into the U.S. Open, so I just decided to play doubles (at the Pilot Pen). It?s nice to be here in New Haven with my coach to get ready for the U.S. Open. We?re fortunate to have gotten a wild card from the tournament director.

Rajeev Ram

They're just happy to be playing tennis. It will be a different season this year then in the past. They'll learn and play as much tennis as they can to gain experience. All the kids will get a chance to play singles and doubles. Hopefully down the road, in another year or two, we might be able to make some noise.

Gomer Morgan

The singles matches were pretty tough, and winning the doubles point allowed us to get pretty calm and focus.

Ryan Rowe

There are so many different ways to listen to your favorite bands. Everything from digital albums and singles, subscription services like Rhapsody or Napster, Internet radio, satellite radio, music on cell phones, CDs with added content.

Jonathan Lamy

We had a tough match with Napa and the girls came back on short notice. The singles players played extremely well, doubles were solid as ever. This was a very pleasing week for us. We didnt feel we'd be 2-1 at the end of this week.

Greg Davis

I stepped it up in doubles. I was in a really bad mood after my singles match. Victoria just calmed me down.

Alex Miller

I just stayed in a better stance. He hit four low singles (Wednesday) and I couldn't get away from him.

Chad Biddle

No. 4 singles was probably the most exciting match of the day.

Royce Silvan
