Hello out there!
Welcome to August!
Some lovely tennis weather this weekend and for the upcoming week: keep making playdates!
As the Montreal and Toronto tournaments near their conclusion with #1 Coco Gauff being taken down last night by Victoria Mboko, there has also been a shakeup on top of our very own challenge ladder…on July 21st Alan Tang defeated Roman Krasikov in a third set 7-5 blockbuster: thousands of lucky fans were present to watch this epic match.
Congratulations Alan. I wonder how long you will stay….
Roman then had the AUDACITY to defeat yours truly this past week, 3 and 3. It was not pretty tennis but ya know what, he got the job done and I am furious. Revenge will be sought.
A special shout out to Kevin Lalli. This guy has played in SEVEN super tie-breakers this summer. SEVEN! This speaks to his competitiveness and…fitness! I applaud that. Nice work, Kevin! You are right there.
On the points ladder, Clarke Gasper continues to dominate with a whopping 45 points. The race for second however, is TIGHT, with Kevin ‘Super-Tie’ Lalli at 25, Neal Riley and Neang Chea tied at 24 and Caleb Adams right under them with 23. Remember that first and second place finishers on the Points ladder will both receive unfathomable prizes at the end of the challenge season!
Keep on keeping on and remember to always double check my recording of scores and points and placement etc because…I make mistakes.
See ya!
Doug
Hello Tennis4All!
We are thrilled to share that this year the USTA has invited Tennis4All to US Open PRIDE Day again! As part of this generous invitation, 24 Tennis4All players are invited to be featured in an on-court experience at Arthur Ashe Stadium ahead of the day session match on Thursday, August 28th. Details of the experience are below:
If you would like to participate in this experience, please indicate your interest by completing this Google Form. Players with an active 2025-2026 Tennis4All Membership will be given first priority, and we will confirm if you received a spot by Friday, August 1st.
Please note, you are responsible for your own travel and accommodations that come with participating in US Open PRIDE with Tennis4All. When planning travel, you should anticipate needing to be at the US Open site as early as 8am on Thursday, August 28th.
Any additional logistics, details, and “need-to-knows” will be shared with attendees as we get closer to the event. In the meantime, if there are any questions, please contact Sam Smith at lewis.samuel15@gmail.com.
We hope everyone is as excited about this experience as we are, and a huge THANK YOU to the USTA and to the US Open for thinking of Tennis4All.
Heloooooo!
Forgive me: I am way overdue for an update on some things happening on the 2025 Challenge Ladder.
But here goes, my first report: we have 35 players this summer, which is awesome. Please remind any friends who you think might be interested that they CAN still join, there is always room on the ladder for more rungs!
Special shout out (and vague concern?) for Neang Chea and especially Clarke Gasper. Back on June 22, Neang played not once but twice in one day (!) Clarke also played twice in one day on June 11 and then, what’s worse, on June 19, which if memory serves was a terribly hot day, he played THREE times! I do not understand either of you but….well done!
I encourage you all to NOT get into a tie break with Daniel Benitez-Posada: he has won Two deciding tie breaks #clutch
Update on the 2 Ladders: Challenge Ladder and Points Ladder
Congrats to Roman Krasikov who on July 4, defeated Jason Wu (7-6, 6-3) to take over the top spot on the Challenge ladder. But I ask you…is that position secure? Do I sense a wiggly rung? Take care up there, Roman. Folks are thirsty.
Congrats also to Clarke Gasper, Caleb Adams and Neang Chea. Clarke is in first place on the Points Ladder with a whopping 34 points, Caleb is in second with 20 and Neang is just behind with 19. Remember, there are end of the season prizes for #1 AND #2 on the Points Ladder. This means they have all been playing a lot of tennis, which is the whole idea: well done to you 3!
Just a friendly reminder that only the Winner of the match needs to email me the result and please remember to include the info on Who challenged Who as different points are allotted for those things.
Stay hydrated out there. The heat is real.
Wimbledon quarterfinals are almost here…who will take it this year? Who will rise up? Those same questions are being asked right here at the Challenge Ladder. Who has the answers?
