Good day.
Thank you for another excellent summer of tennis and bitchiness. I loved it.

TOP 2 Players for Point Accumulation: Jason Wu (101) and Marnin Romm (98) (exhausting)
Highest Climber from Starting Position to Final Position: Thomas Le (from 29 t0 9!)
Congrats to the winners and everyone who participated this year. You will all be receiving glorious prizes in the mail.

-The Ladder Master is….out!
Greetings from a Sunday night Long Legs
One week from tonight, the Ladder shall close.
Our leaders on the Match Ladder are: Scott Lee, Ian Shank and Terry Epps at 1, 2 and 3 respectively.
Will anyone sneak up on these three for a place at the top of the ladder?
Our leaders on the Points Ladder are: Jason Wu at 101 and Marnin Romm at 98. I don’t believe they can be caught.
One more week. What chaos can you bring down on the ladder? Whom can you usurp?
I will tell the final story one week from tonight.
When the ladder Collapses.

Greetings Summer Challenge Ladder!
We are in the final month now. September 25 is the last day of the summer Challenge Ladder. After that, the ladder disappears. Into thin air.
The US Open is happening, sure, I get it….but will anyone usurp Scott Lee from atop the Challenge Ladder? Well done, Scott. You remain ensconced up there. Ensconced.
Congrats to Terry Epps, who recently took over 2nd place on the ladder. Huge!
Special kudos to both Alan Gnani and Ian Shank who, on separate days and not against one another, played 2 matches in one day. I simply do not understand this feat but it was achieved by both of them. And this summer has been hot as….
On the points ladder, Jason Wu has just entered the 90s. Well done, Mr. Wu. Marnin Romm is not far behind. The top 2 on the points ladder will receive spectacular prizes. Can anyone catch these guys? I think not.
I have removed myself from the ladder as a player as I am dealing with a left leg injury. Feeling optimistic now about playing in the Fall singles league but I’ve had a pretty awful time with sciatica and other left leg woes that are too boring to speak of, so thought it best to take time off, lots of stretching and walking and just, ya know, watching the US Open.
But I am still here to record all of your matches and make the occasional catty report.
Enjoy the September temps!
Your ladder master…ensconced in all kinds of things…

Well, well, well….some spicy news to report.
We have a new 4.5 arrival on the ladder this week in the form of one Ian Shank. Welcome aboard, Ian. There is only one other 4.5 on the ladder and that player sits on top. Will Ian make his way up for a 4.5 showdown with Mr. Lee? We shall see….there are some very talented 4.0s who might have something to say about it….
Speaking of making his way up, Mr. Mark McDonough defeated Mr. Terry Epps this past brutally hot weekend over at Tufts and took over the #3 spot. Well done, Mark: only two players ahead of you now!
As Mark and Terry began to warm up, I was being soundly defeated by Mr. Alan Gnani. It has been 2 substantial losses to Mr Gnani this summer, and despite the fact that he’s just a super nice guy, I am FURIOUS!
On the points ladder, Mr. Jason Wu and Mr. Marnin Romm are starting to run away with things, entering the 70s now. You guys are astonishing!
Remember, fabulous prizes will be awarded to the top 2 on the points ladder, the number 1 of the challenge ladder itself and 1 prize for whomever rose the highest from beginning to end of summer. Hopefully, I have kept track of that….I totally have.
This weekend doesn’t look quite so brutal on the humidity-side of things. I look forward to reading about your scores from Block Island, where I will be competing in the Lockwood Family Olympics.
yours sincerely,
The Ladder Master
