I will not lose to Sarosh....more than twice.
I will not sandbag in league....I would have to play at the 3.5 level for that to happen.
If I should see any Texas Section USTA Execute Officers, I will personally thank them for finally bumping Tim Green and Odion Dibua to 5.0.
I will figure out a way to determine whether it is only myself and 5 other guys who even bother to visit this blog.
I will not trash any of my fellow players on this site....unless opportunity presents itself and I think it might generate entertaining discussion.
Happy New Year and here's to a good tennis season for all!

Am I one of those 5 other guys? If you want, you can lose to me also besides Sarosh? I know his weakness!
Happy New Year!!!! This is required daily reading for me..but I'm not from Houston so I might not count.
yea, start your own Tyler blog. You have plenty of Interesting characters to work with there. We have enough issues here.
Is there any bigger cheat in the state than Chris Leach? Talk about bad sportmanship on the court and a win at all cost attitude.*
* - 100% Sarcastic statement. Chris would win the Texas USTA Sportmanship Award every year if it was handed out. I wish all my opponents were such nice, easy-going guys.
You just like me cuz I'm easy to dropshot.
Come on Chris you know you want Goldberg to move to your house.
=)
I really think you shoud re-train Goldberg so he can serve correctly.
Well another tennis season is upon us once again. I don't understand why the USTA schedules two major zones in Feb when it is too damn cold unless you like playing hockey.
Was going to hold a mini tournament on the weekend, but of course its too cold. So when it warms up I will let you everyone know.
Greg Schmucker
I just read that Gound was on the list included in the Mitchell report. That makes sense to me, because it seemed unlikely at the time that he went from a year of being in the consolation of every 5.0 event to winning every 5.0 major zone the very next year without any change whatsoever to his game. Stand in one spot and hit huge roundhouse topspin forehands. Plus it seems like he used to have problems with cramping in long matches, but not any longer. Hmmm......
Hey Guys:
Just wanted to congratulate Sarosh on becoming a dad. I heard he had a daughter last week. Hope he doesn't get too busy with fatherhood and get away from playing tournaments and league.
I think we are all anxious to play him with all the hype surrounding him now!
Who are the likely standouts going to be for the 4.5 2008 season?
Who are the likely standouts going to be from all the players coming up from 4.0 to 4.5 besides Sarosh and Kern?
I predict Troutmann, Sanchez, and Schmucker will be vying for the top spot in 4.5 this year. I guess that also depends if they play 4.5 this year. So who knows.
I think it would be Troutmann and Sarosh all the way in 2008.
Schmuker and Sanchez are great 4.5 players too, but I highly doubt them against Sarosh and Troutmann.
But again..who Knows? This is tennis and everything is possible!!
4.5 Tournament Players are not very good. Here is an example Ken Ratan a 4.0 rated player had more tournament wins and won more tournaments in 4.5 than he had in 4.0.
His record in 4.0 was 9-4.(2007)
His record in 4.5 was 14-4.(2007)
Just think what a good 4.0 (2007) player(Sarosh) is going to do this year in 4.5. Sarosh will dominate all of the 4.5 Tournament players.
I guess everyone forgot about Kern. I believe his record in 4.0 blew away this Sarosh guy. So I would think Kern is the better player not Sarosh.
Sarosh will dominate 4.5 this year because he is an open level player that should never have been playing 4.0. To say that his dominating 4.5 shows how weak 4.5 is relative to 4.0 is a bunch of BS! Dibua will dominate 5.0 because that is where he belongs not because 5.0 is weak compared to 4.5. I wonder how well Sarosh's arrogance will go over with all the 4.5 guys, the 4.0 guys I know that have seen him on the courts say he is quite full of himself.
There isn't really any big 4.0 record for Sarosh in comparison to Kern other than the fact that:
Sarosh won the only 4.0 tournament he played (coke)beating kern in the final and barely dropped a set the entire league season all the way through Nationals. He was undefeated with a perfect straight winning record!!!
What do you say now? Can you still say that "Kern blew this Sarosh guy"? Please be more realistic when posting comments on this site.
We want this site to be able to give a clear picture of who is who...and not mislead anyone with dumb comments!
"Kern blew this Sarosh guy"?
Maybe he had to do that because Sarosh beat him in the finals at the coke. Pretty steep bet if you ask me. I would have bet money, or at most a hand job, but thats just me. You are a brave man Kern.
Regarding tournaments Kern is a much better player than Sarosh. Wow Sarosh won ONE Major Zone big freakin deal over the 2007 year so what. How many did Kern win? Regarding lame USTA leagues who cares the sets are no ad and a third set tiebreaker do the math that is not real tennis.
I am more impressed with players that can win the Majors in very hot conditions and it is the best of three sets not crappy league play.
Regarding who is the best in the 4.0's last year it was by far Kern not Sarosh. Winning one major zone doesn't mean much especially when Sarosh didn't play any other Majors. Perhaps Sarosh was worried that he would lose to players like Janeck, Kern, Foad, and Leiter.
Not Impressed.
Of course the complete player who won every major zone is Tim Green. I know I know the great Sarosh can beat him as well.
Cold day in Hell that is
=)
i agree with tim green's comment above. tim green is the complete player.
signed,
tim green
"Sarosh will dominate 4.5 this year because he is an open level player"
WOW! This guy (Sarosh) has barely even played any major 4.5 tournament and he is already being talked about as an "OPEN LEVEL PLAYER". when he started dominating the 4.0 scene, everyone was like he should be playing 4.5 as thats where he belongs and he would be a legitimate 4.5 player.
What happened? How come this guy is being soo over rated and now talked about being an OPEN player?
How did he mange to jump from being 4.0 to OPEN level?
I definitely can't wait to watch him play or play against him to see what this guy is made of!
I heard from other players that Sarosh thinks he the best tennis player and is very very conceited on the court. In fact a lot of players do not like hitting with him because he is such an ass on the court.
Has anyone else heard this as well?
Anyone can sign up and play open in a tournment, but Sarosh as an open player? Do you really think he can beat Schmucker, Odion, Kallus, Regent, Li, Gard, Nanjappa..etc... I don't see Sarosh on the 4.5-5.0 single's or double's roster for the spring.
What does it matter if so in so can beat another player or not?
Fact is tournaments is what counts regarding who can beat who. I know some players take practice matches like its playing in a tournament, but the fact they are not the same.
Players work on their game in practice matches nothing more. I have beaten some Open players in practice matches, but means nothing if I had to play those guys in a tournament.
Arya Majed is a seasonal Open Player that can even loose to a decent 4.0 player like Foad. So, its no big deal playing Open.
Quite a few Open players can barely even win 4.0 or 4.5...
It is obvious who is writing this junk about Sarosh. It is the same two people over and over hiding behind "anonymous" with their infamous league rants and morbid neanderthal facination with everything tournament-related. Get a life!
If you truly think tournament tennis is the APEX of the tennis world then I would guess you are a shitty player for your own level overall but probably highly-ranked (top 10) by virtue of the tournament grind. For some paranoid reason you feel Sarosh is stepping in on your territory (like Odion did last year and Tim Green before him) so you feel compelled to attack him behind the mask of anonymous (wow, those tournament players are really hardcore and tough).
Tournament tennis results are more of a product of conditioning and free time. To suggest that people who are ranked higher (or who have won more major zones) are better tennis players is absurd. The best players play league while others whine about it. If you have any ability at all for your level then you are courted left and right to play on league teams; otherwise, you act like a junior with no job and no family and play tournaments all year long.
Sometimes the best players play tournaments (i.e., Kern in 4.0 and Dbuia in 4.5) but you have to be out of your mind if you think Eddie Janek (4.0 #1), Joe Schornick (#1 4.5 in 2006) or numerous other players are actually the top players at their respective level. The only reason they were ranked so high is because they had enough free time and desire to travel and play tennis for 3 days. Yeah, THAT IS REAL TENNIS!
Tournaments and League are both fun and both provide competitive and fun avenues to play tennis. Anyone that suggests one is better than the other would only say so for personal reasons. Either you can't win a tournament because you are out of shape (so League rules) or you can't make a stacked league team (so Tournaments rule).
Both arguments are silly. Just play tennis and have fun.

Take a pill and chill before you burst an artery. Damn I just read the blog because all the bullshit on here and have a good laugh. Funny how tennis is such an egotistical sport especially all the comments on here.
Maybe everyone should will talk about how big their penis is compared to other players. Seems like it is heading towards that.
Been away from the blog for awhile but just read all the new stuff and got a good laugh as usual. So that its clear, Sarosh is a better player than I am without a doubt. Also tournament rankings have a ton to do with how many majors you are willing to go to. The debate will never end whether league or tournaments represent the true level but I will say in my experience the best league players are typically better than the best tournament players although playing tournaments is physically harder than playing league.
Looking forward to getting my butt kicked in 4.5 and maybe even improvingmy game,
Kern
Sarosh was definetly the best 4.0 player in the nation last year.
He is probably already the best 4.5Texas tournament player.
Kern is a better doubles player than Sarosh if you care about doubles.
I think Foad Ansari is the best 4.0 player last year and will repeat this year as well. Second Best 4.0 player would have to be Kris Knutson.
I think Foad Ansari is the best 4.0 player last year...
I wish Foad would stop posting comments about himself. No one really believes that except his mother.
Why are you talking crap about Foad? Foad is a nice guy on and off the court. I thought he did quite well in 4.0 last year so there is no reason to tear the guy up.
I guess the next guy that will be torn apart is Chris Leach. Damn nothing surprises me on this blog anymore.
Just wanted to respond to the post from January 23, 2:33pm aimed at the "two tourney obsessed guys" who keep bashing league and feel Sarosh is stepping on their turf and only have top-10 rankings because they have too much free time and play every tournament. That sounds aimed squarely at me since I also bitched about both Tim Green and Odion Dibua being too good to be playing 4.5 and I also only end up in the top 10 each year because I play 20+ tournaments and I don't particularly care for USTA league because of all the sandbaggers who kick my ass with ease. That is all true. However, I have not been bashing Sarosh behind "anonymous", at least not yet. I have no problem saying he is a better player than me (I've only played 1 set against the guy and he completely and utterly destroyed me with Fabrice Santoro-quality drop shots). Plus I don't think tournament results prove you are better than league. I know from experience that all the best players are in league and don't play tournaments. Usually, they don't play tournaments so as to avoid the risk of destroying everyone they face and getting bumped up, largely because they are actually better than that level. That's cool, I know how league works so no problem. I know I can't hang with those guys so I don't have a serious interest in league. If Sarosh wins the Coke at 4.5 this year, it is not going to bother me one bit. Good for him, and it probably does prove he is the best player "rated" 4.5 What was the point of all this? Oh yeah, the fact that though I fit the description that the other poster was attacking to a tee, I have not been bitching or attacking Sarosh under "anonymous" and I have not been trying to claim that tournament 4.5 results mean more than league 4.5. I know that it is a joke to think that. However, it does not surprise me that there are people on this blog who will defend tournament play over league play since this is in fact a blog supposedly focused on tournament tennis. Now if you don't mind, it's been a while so could someone please post about how much I suck and how mentally weak I am.
Kallus
Sarosh,
here is your chance to silence the critics. Sign up for the spring single league and play the #1 line.
Whoever Jouneyman is you should be careful what you say about people. I lost a dear friend and tennis student because of your blog about me smoking doobdies.If you have ever seen me smoke anything besides a forehand let me know. You also made refrencens to me cheating. I do not cheat nor do I condone it from any of my students. I certainly do not need to cheat to beat any of you Houston Boys.... So if you need a tennis lesson via a 6-0 6-0 ass whippin look me up I am easy to find just follow the smoke signals from my giant doobie......
it's called a blog you retard. i recall the first amendment is the freedom of speech. i hate people who tries to dictate what you can and can't say.
I assume we all know who "lord of the strings" is. If not from the doobie reference then from the extreme cockiness expressed in the post. Where was that when Trautman was tearing you a new one at Master's Cup?
Thomas Reader smoking joints tell me its not true oh the pain...............................
hey anonymous whos calling me a retard,no shit we have freedom of speech you douchebag, gotta a name by the way? and the other anonymous the lord of the strings thing was a complete joke but i think ill keep it since it obviously struck a nerve.by the way if you look at my record youll see i had never lost a set to trautman before masters but i had a bad day,jesus! plus if you were at the match his dad is a complete freak.anybody that knows me knows that im a very laid back person who likes pretty much everybody, so chill, maybe yall should smoke one.
Reader what is the deal with you and Trautmann anyways? I thought you and him were pretty good friends?
All you need to know about Ahmed is that he was a top world ranked junior and now he gets his kicks beating up on 4.0 players. What a loser.
who the he is this sarosh guy anyway?
hey anonymous, trautman and i used to be friends until he walked off the court in the middle of our match at the alamo city.plus his dad is the biggest tool ive ever seen.john even apologized for his dad at masters cup for being a huge interruption during our match.so thats the story
Mr Reader how are you doing? Haven't seen you since the Masters Cup in Austin. So what are your tennis plans for this year? I haven't decided to play 5.0 or 4.5 this year guess it depends how large the draws are in 5.0 to make it worth the drive to MZ.
So what have you been up to? I bet you had a good laugh reading all the BS on this Blog.
Schmucker
Sarosh is an overated player that makes bad calls and questions your calls to throw you off your game.
i agree to that last statement
Yeah the food by Mcfarlin was pretty good. Phung and I are doing good guess I need to bite the bullet and ask her to marry me.
=)
Yeah I am not too excited about the upcoming tennis season. Guess I am tired driving around the state just to play in a tournament. Spend more money than its worth. If you ever make it down to HOuston let me know we can hit.
Schmucker
Reader:
You had asked who SAROSH is? Well as far as we know, he is the next Dibua for 4.5 this year. Maybe if you ever happen to come down to Houston, you should definitely hit with him and get your ass kicked just like we did.
I think Sarosh is pretty much open to hitting with anyone good and you should DEFINITELY get out and hit with him and then let us know what you think.
"lord of the strings" and "lord of the hate", please exchange email addresses so the rest of us are not forced to read your pen pal correspondence. It's great that you like vietnamese food, but are the rest of us supposed to care?
Kern, you don't me, but so what's going on? How's work? Really. And the kids? You don't say. Well, I guess I'll see you at the Coke. NOT!
Sarosh will tear up Reader. 6-0, 6-0. Reader's a cocky punk!
Everyone can we please stop writing about the GREAT SAROSH. Hell he did nothing last year and I am tired of reading BS. I am willing to bet it is Sarosh writing about himself. Get over the INSECURITY Sarosh and stop writing about yourself on here.
Turning into a giant date blog. Oh the Great Sarosh will you please date me, please consider me for your next date.
Next we can start uploading pictures of the Great Sarosh in action on the court.
quit your whining. Boo Hoo....
Someone once said:
“Blessed are those who serve with precision, lob with accuracy, and return with power; for their wins shall be many and their losses few.”
So go out there, and give it 100%. Win or lose, at the end if you gave it your "ALL", that’s all it matters.
Schmucker is "lord of the hate"!?! Fantastic.....I hope that one sticks!
Hi Reader:
I just read the blog when I was told by a friend of mine that u were really anxious and eager to hit with me.
Frankly speaking, I don't really know who you are but whoever u are, i would love to hit with u and promise to post the score on this blog irrespective of who wins.
I'm not a person to say much but i assure u that u will have fun on the court.
My email is: ahmedsarosh@yahoo.com
I live in southwest close to galleria...where do u live? south or North Houston? Email me and let me know Mr. Reader.
Lord Of Hate? Why the Hell is someone of course posting anonymous posting crap about me. If you have something to say post with your real name.
Schmucker
any takers on the reader/sarosh match?remember sarosh 5.0 is alot different than 4.0 at the coke.by the way you didnt exactly cruise through that draw either. by the way whoever thinks schmucker is the lord of hate must be a real dickhead, got friends?
Reader def Ahmed 6-2, 6-1
Ahmed wins 6-2; 5-0 def. Why 5-0, because Reader will claim injury before he loses.
Schmucker is a real cool dude. Ahmed is a cool also. I don't know who this Reader guy is but he's a JERK for posting.
"lord of the strings said...
by the way,who the fuck thinks moser has a big forehand?sumbitch might-as-well of had an apron on and a dress when i was whippin that ass in the alamo city final"
Hey lord of the strings,
its not "sarosh 5.0 is a lot different than 4.0 at the coke"
Its "Sarosh 4.5 is a lot different than 4.0 at the coke"
Why in this world would you rate Sarosh at 5.0 even before playing him? Are you already finding ways to justify your loss saying that he is 5.0 rated and not 4.5????
There's a tournament next month, "Lost Forest Winter Classic". Reader and Ahmed should enter Men's 4.5s and see who ends up the winner.
http://tennislink.usta.com/tournaments/TournamentHome/Tournament.aspx?T=63335
Reader: we suggest that you talk to Kallus and Schmuker before you challenge Sarosh.
Kallus had earlier posted that how he was completely and utterly destroyed by Sarosh and its also come to our knowledge now that it wasn't just Kallus alone but our Houston great Greg Schmuker that got a memorable tennis lesson from Sarosh as well.
Schmuker can you please tell us a little bit about your encounter with Sarosh just like Kallus did?
I think Reader's 5.0 comment relates to the fact that he has been bumped up to 5.0 so if he played Sarosh, Sarosh would be facing 5.0 tennis not 4.0. Also, how did such information regarding Greg losing to Sarosh make its way to the last postor? I am pretty sure it is because the last postor is either Sarosh himself or his 4.0benefactor Jason Freeman.
I bet it has to be Freeman! Coz I have heard that Jason Freeman is running around the entire state of Texas putting together a solid 4.5 team for summer league and he is using Sarosh to market his team telling everyone that he Ahmed is beating up on all the top 4.5 players.
Jason, we are all aware of the games you play! Get a life!!
whens the last time i pulled out because of injury besides against sevin in the semis of sectionals?do your homework before you open that dick pleaser you call a mouth.also i e-mailed sarosh with my number. so lets do this.
lord of the strings -
Please post the time and place you guys are going to duke it out. Some of us would like to be a witness to this encounter.
Listen, this thread is utterly an embarrassment to the Houston tourney scene. You've obviously got this joke ahmed writing about himself and then others fueling the fire that one would call "insecurity." Ahmed is a 4.5 level player who would get beaten at any major tournament in the 5.0 division by many players in Houston much less outside of Houston. Forget about the Open level. It may be hard to see the big picture from the relatively small community of tennis players who like to blog, but this is indeed true. I am neither Sarosh nor am I Reader nor do I care particularly about this issue that much. I just KNOW the facts and this absolutely worthless banter makes me feel guilty for even partaking in this nonsense.
Reader takes Ahmed easily 6-2, 6-3. For that matter, many people can and will beat Ahmed that easily or even more easily, just as the same can be said about Reader. You must realize you all are living in a very small bubble that we all call 4.0-5.0 level tennis in Houston. This is not rocket science.
whoever thinks that im crying couldnt be more wrong.im having a ball with this blog.im not cocky either,i know exactly how good i am and how bad i can suck.but lose to a guy who played 4.0 last year?give me a fucking break.those of you who seriously know tennis knows ill beat the crap out of sarsoh 99 out of 100 times. the only time i could possibly lose is if theres a fucking drive by and i get shot.even then i could probably beat him.those are the facts.i think it would be a blast if we had a san antonio/houston battle just for fun.believe it or not i like you houston guys, and was born and raised there myself.
I received a tennis lesson from Sarosh? Jesus this is really getting out of hand isn't it. Lets see playing one set and losing 3-6 is a true tennis lesson and top it off we were switching with Kallus, and Goldberg as well.........playing one set then switching. I never knew a hitting session like that counts for anything.
Damn didn't know I was in a tournamnet and it really mattered. Guess Anonymous forgot Sarosh and Goldberg and me and Kallus down 5-2 in a lousy set in doubles and we came back in won that. Who gives a S**T.
Wow now I am going to brag about that and perhaps start my own Houston tennis newspaper just with local practice match scores.
Idiot
If everyone on here is so worried about who can beat who, scores, and worthless practice matches then sign-up for the tournaments and show up and play.
I play Kallus more than any other player in Houston. When we go out to hit it is about having fun and working on my game. I never worry about winning or losing playing Daniel because it is called PRACTICE MATCH which is a big difference than a TOURNAMENT MATCH or LEAGUE MATCH.
If I have to play Daniel or anyone else I practice with in a tournament then anything can happen. People play very different in tournaments because guess what anonymous poster a tournament counts.
Another thing stop being a pussy by posting anonymous I sure the Hell don't.
Schmucker
Obviously none of you people know Ahmed very well. This guy has extensive tennis credentials including a top 5 junior ranking in India. Sure maybe that was a while ago but once you are at that level it is not hard to return to similar form. He made a complete joke out of 4.0 last year and that alone puts him at a strong 4.5 level. Mr Thomas Reader obviously has a solid tennis background as well but for him to say he can beat a former world ranked junior 99 out of 100 times is a little bit naive. Isn't this the same guy that got beaten 0 and 0 at a 4.5 tournament recently? My opinon is that these guys are probably at a smiliar level.
Yeah Sarosh might beat you Reader cause he makes really bad lines calls as well. I still do not understand why so many people on here even care for this guy since he never plays tournaments except the Coke.
If I had to pick who is the best tennis player in the Houston area it would be Tim Green. Not only did Green win most of the 4.5 MZ a couple of years ago, but also won his USTA League matches as well.
Schmucker your post was too funny. I agree too many players think a practice match is the meaning of life.
hey reader, why dont you lose some weight? youd probably be a lot better to if youd stay off the marlboros. still cant see you losing to sarosh though.i saw you play two years ago when you were not so fat and theres no way a 4.0 can hang with ANY open player.
look dude, im 35 years old.people gain weight.plus im pretty sure i was just as fat two years ago when you saw me play.so does anyone have any thoughts on a sanantonio/houston showdown for braggin rights? non sanctioned of course.
How come nobody asks me to go out for any Vietnamese food? By the way, how are things going Kern? Schmucker is LORD OF THE HATE, especially the drop shots I work on while practicing with him. Who said Schmucker is a really cool guy? Greg, stop posting things about yourself! Practice match vs. real match, Tournament player vs. league player. Geeeeeeez. Sarosh and Jason are not that bad. At least with me their not.
I only lost that doubles match because I was practicing some new shots.See Schmucker's prior post to back that up. Can't we all just get along and play tournaments, and leagues, and practice matches, oh yea, that's what we are arguing about?
Can we all at least agree that Foad sucks?
Goldberg
hey goldberg, would you like to go out for some vietnamese food?
That must be why I like Foad. In truth, I think I have actually calmed down quite a bit on the court and when I do have my episodes they are almost always directed at myself and my own mental issues, not my opponent. That said, I have definitely had a few on court moments that I am not too proud of and I usually have been quick to issue an apology to any undeserving victims. At least I do not cheat (bad line calls, changing the score in my favor, foot faulting), so I got that going for me. Kallus
lord of strings (Reader),
thank you for becoming active on this blog. Since you started posting, page visits have gone up considerably and the last 2 days saw more total page hits than any day since the blog started back in July. Keep the thrash talk coming. I appreciate your willingness to let if fly, even if you are pissed at me for costing you a student.
Lord of the Hate and I practice drop shots against him then it must be the great JR Pogue because no one else hits drop shot after drop shot in a match.
Welcome to the blog JR.
Schmucker
journeyman,im sure no harm was intended as far as that student goes.and as some dude put it rather harshly,it is a blog.anything to generate an interest in tennis is a good thing,even if its some anonymous queer ripping on me for being out of shape.all in good humor i always say.but i bet you could help me organize a sanantonio/houston match up in the spirit of fun and some healthy competition.hell it would also give me a chance to make kallus my bitch again.(just kidding dan)
If I was a student or parent of Readers student and read this blog, I would assume hes using a lot harder stuff than pot. Not sure I'd let my kid anywhere near him regardless of his coaching ability or lack thereof.
Thomas Reader aka Lord of the Strings likes to get on here and talk tough about the likes of Moser and Kallus. Grow some balls dude and play open. Don't be surpirsed when players like Valdez, Hoover, Singer start talking about what a pussy you are and how they almost shit themselves laughing when they saw you hit your puny strokes. Talking shit about beating Kallus is like saying you are the man becuase you can beat 8 year old cripples.
Greg,
Since it looks like you might be close by, what time are we hitting tonight?
Reader, how come you don't invite me to eat with you? Is it because you throttled me on the court or because I partnered in doubles with a guy who is in on your list of sworn enemies? Damn, I just read your "make him my bitch again" comment. You did it now. Next time we play, look out, cause I am going to win a game off of you in each set, not just one of them. At least while you are destroying me, I will have the opportunity to act like a moron.
Eight year old cripple? Ouch. Not a good day for me on the ole' tennis blog.
I am the Lord of Anonymous. I will beat you all. You stand no chance against me. I am so good that I have been bumped up from Open to the Closed level. Beware.
Wow Reader certainly thinks he is the greatest. "I've hung with Singer in doubles." Thats the laugh of the day get over yourself Reader stick to talking shit about Moser and Kallus. This guy loses 6-0 6-2 in masters cup 4.5 and then proclaims his greatness throughout Texas and beyond. No wonder you are taking this year off from tournaments you know you can't hang in 5.0 league or open level tournaments.
Funny, that was a good one!
Reader sucks. He's just pissed because his drug conviction when he was 19 cost him his college tennis scholarship. You weren't that good of a junior player anyway Reader I was there. Now he takes out his tennis and also apparently sexual frustrations on all unsuspecting Houston tennis players.
Get your tickets now for "The Lord of The Strings" vs. "Duke of the Dink" coming to a court near you in early 2008.
Aside from that, if you would be interested in taking part in a Houston vs. San Antonio showdown, state so on this blog and perhaps we can figure out a way to make it happen. Top dogs vs. Top dogs, Mental Blowups waiting to Happen vs. Mental Blowups waiting to Happen (see Kallus for Houston, I don't know who the SA rep would be), blatant cheater vs. blatant cheater. Of course, at the end of the day, it would just become a non-sanctioned repeat of 4.5 State Sectionals from last year.
Ok so assuming that Reader was number 3 in super champ 18's why the hell is he in here talking shit and belittling recreational 4.5 players? Nobody in the top 10 in super champs, 35 years old or not, needs to be playing 4.5. Reader grow a pair and play where you belong. Oh yeah you aren't going to do that because then you can't talk shit about everybody becuase you are the one getting beat down. Must have been your bad attitude and fear of the higher levels that kept you out of college tennis if it wasnt drugs.
about lord of the strings,kind of a prick, but good player though
Now it all makes sense. Reader comes out of Texas a top junior, goes off to play college, and goes bust. Now to try and make his low self esteem improve, he decides to beat up on recreational players. Well I couldn't hack it in college tennis like all my peers so I'll beat up on The likes of Daniel Kallus and Jochen Moser and that will show everybody whos the man. Congratulations Thomas Reader you are now the legend of 4.5. Thats probably every top 5 superchamp players dream.
Also, who the hell goes to adult tournaments with their dad? And who the hell goes to adualt tournaments with their dad who proceeds to talk shit to other players. Sounds like Reader and this Trautfisher guy need to take a time machine back to juniors.
Has this string gotten so long to the point that I should start a new one so we don't have to scroll forever. Or should I leave it for now so that everyone can enjoy the few conversation from beginning to end.
To summarize for new comers. Sarosh is set to own 4.5s this year and Reader wants to kick his ass on the courts. Reader and Schmucker ate vietnamese food together. Foad sucks and Kallus is a moron.
Did I miss anything?
Kallus sucks.
Journey Man you should make people on here post with their names instead of anonymous. Funny, tennis is suppose to be fun and social sport, but when I read the blogs on here I can't believe so many people write negative crap about other players.
Have some balls and use your name to back up what you are saying. When I post on here I sign off with my name. I didn't know there was so much hatred here in Houston it is really sad.
Schmucker
Yeah, we dont have this much hate in East Texas. Just cannibals and pinetrees......

The way I see it it cuts one of two ways. If Sarosh WAS a world class junior, than its an embarassment for him to be playing NTRP tennis to begin with. If he was not, then he is presented by his "friends" as being MUCH better than he actually is.....
a lot of the 4.5 and 5.0 guys played in college,does that make reader a sandbagger because hes lost a few steps and put on a few pounds?im really confused,is he a druggy,or is he still a good player?i dont know many of you guys but you should get the facts straight on reader before you rag on his past.even if he acts like he does,sounds like hes got a passion for the game,and i havent heard of him bringing up peoples past like most of you guys seem to do.
There's a tournament next month, "Lost Forest Winter Classic". Reader and Ahmed should enter Men's 5.0s and see who ends up the winner. But better hurry, the DL is Feb. 4th.
Reader can't play down to 4.5 but Ahmed can play up to 5.0, then this will put an end to all this BS going on in this blog once and for all.
winter forest classic huh?have to check that out.seriously to the haters,my wife and i had a baby in 2006.point is, i didnt play much that year because my daughter was in need of physical therapy for a small problem with her left hip socket,no big deal.but the computer rated me down to 4.5 .so i immediately got a call from an old buddy asking me to play 4.5 league.eager to show a flaw in the system,i went out there to kick some ass to show although fat,i was still a 5.0. i thought since i got rated down,i would dominate the 4.5 division,i was wrong and admittedly underestimated the talent and ability at the 4.5 level.so thats the truth.if you want to keep hating out there and keep bringing up negative parts of my past true or untrue,yall have every right.im fully aware of how much of an asshole i can be.and i havent had an asswhoopin since the masters,and could honestly use another one.so any takers?leave your NAME so we can play,the anonymous thing is really annoying.its like you have the balls to say something,but not the balls to let everyone know who you are.and dont hide behind that freedom of speech bullshit.go to where im from and yell a racial slur and see just how far freedom of speech gets you.point is,theres a line and when you cross it you better be standing in front of a motherfucker.instead of hiding behind a fence when you yell something.explain that to your kid "anonymous junior" after several asswhippins at school.
Why are you talking crap about Foad? Foad is a nice guy on and off the court. I thought he did quite well in 4.0 last year so there is no reason to tear the guy up...
Ok Mrs. Foad, your right. I didn't mean to insult your son.
Journeyman, we see that you have a new addition to this blog:
A voting option..wow!
And the subject "Who would win between Reader and Ahmed"
Nice!
Seems like this blog is getting more and more interesting! Whats next Journeyman?
reader wins 6-2 6-2.if reader is stoned,6-1 6-1 in favor of reader.
Wow so Reader claims he was 3 in superchampionship 18's, and the best he can do is one year of junior college? What a colossal failure. Then we have Ahmed who played the ITF world junior circuit and apparently things didnt work out for him either so he decides 4.0 is the next logical step. These guys both sound like huge tools.
I saw Ryan Newport posted on here. Ryan won a Futures title or two 3 years back. That should be just about enough to justify his skipping a year at 4.0 and jumping right into 4.5s. I would actually enjoy seeing Ryan sign up for the Coke and kick Sarosh's ass just to ruin it by sandbagging the apparent sandbagger. I am sure Freeman is already scrambling to see if he can get ahold of Ryan's phone number to get him signed up for summer league.
lord of the strings -
I voted for you for a complete wipe out of that sumbitch, sandbagging, former Jr. ITF player. Don't disappoint me bro!
Ryan beats Reader 6-0, 6-0.
Sarosh, are U playing in the Lost Forest Winter classic in two weeks?
The Alamo City Open started today. Let's talk about that. Is Trautman a shoo-in to win that?>
That would be the mabry open.alamo city aint till july.by the way,i sure hope newport can beat my ass.hes 10 years my junior and still plays challengers.wouldnt be 6-0 6-0 though.and no trautman is not a shoe in.my buddy henri akono should be a tough match for him.unless his dad pulls a tonya harding on henri with a billy club.
Reader must mean he was number 3 in championship, not superchampionship. Big difference. If you are number 3 in superchamps you wouldnt go play at temple unless you were a dumbass who couldnt academically qualify for division 1. Tyler JC maybe but temple is not on par with them. Also its highly unlikely that you could play tennis for just 4 years and get to top five in super champs.
hey anonyPUS,if i was just in champs ,i wouldnt have played for texas at intersctionals in south carolina,and the nationals at kalamazoo after that.you had to be top 8 to get invited.i finished 3 on the year after finishing 4 at supersectionals behind some damn good players.as for the temple junior college decision,that was a dumb one,my fiance went to texas a&m and it was only 80 miles away from her.a&m offered to red shirt me after my recruiting trip there but i wanted to compete.so those are the facts.you can ask anyone that knows me as "bubba" from the old school.my first tournament was in 16s.1987. so do your fucking homework anonyPUS.get your facts straight
by the way,trautman almost lost first round to some dude who got ranked 35 last yesr in the 4.0s!!check mabry results.that proves that john was playing out of his mind against reader last year in the masters.combined with reader playing like shit,and johns dad acting like a jack-ass,john won the match.i think reader WAS in superchamps,but it was 20 years ago so why is it so hard to believe he played 4.5s?the computer rated him a 4.5 last year in his defense.
Lord of the strings use a capital letter.
lord of the strings -
Are you gonna do Lost Forest Winter Classic in Men 5.0? The DL is pushed back to Feb. 8th.
I don't think that sumbitch, sandbagging, former Jr. ITF player has the balls to play Men 5.0!
Either way you would whop his ass
6-0, 6-0.
If we are going to talk about 4.5 players, why are we talking about Reader? He is 5.0.
Why not have Sarosh play a current 4.5 player like Greg? Never mind I know why because current 4.5 Houston players cannot beat Sarosh. We have bring in players rated 5.0 to beat him.
