Juneteenth....Time for the Chase.

Hey, with my focus currently on Wimbledon, I will let you guys have at it with regard to the all-important (sarcastic) Juneteenth event this weekend. In my past, I had a policy of "NO Consolation = No Play Tourney", so I have never been a big fan of this event. Obviously, the biggest question this weekend will be whether or not a real person by the name of Patrick Chase shows up at Juneteenth as a spectator. I am in the camp that says no he will not as he does not exist other than in the typings of a wayward tennis player.

Breaking News!!!
Patrick Chase is Greg Schmucker! it's his alter ego

Don't be stupid. I doubt it's Schmucker so lets not assume.

I bet it is Reader kinda sounds like him.

Who cares who Chase is. Hes lame.

Its going to be so freakin hot for the Juneteenth. It will have an effect on the 4.5s.

A real guy named Kan Dallus said...

Hey, I'm Kan Dallus and I think Kallus is awesome player and you guys are way too hard on him....oh yeah, and Open Level rules! Out.

So,,,,, who won Juneteenth?

Anonymous said...

Unless the tournament is a "doubles only" tournament, consolation is never offered in doubles events. Does anyone know why this is?

Anonymous said...

Why Juneteenth doesn't have a Consolation Rd. for Singles? If I recall last year, they had consolation in singles because it was a USTA 100 pts. event.

I really don't care who Patrick Chase is, but I like his writings.

I'm going to be pissed if they impose the heat rule, and offer no consolation.

What a rip off.

Anonymous said...

There is no consolation for Juneteenth. Just make sure you try your best to win your first round match. The only tournament I can think of that uses the heat rule is FT Worth Major Zone. I want to play FT Worth this year, but if they use the heat rule I will not sign up. I mean what is the point?

Anonymous said...

It looks like they won't be offering consolation. The heat rule will probably be at TDs discretion. Temperature forecast for this weekend is in upper 90s.

Anonymous said...

Heat Rule = 3rd set (10 pts)super tie-breaker played instead of regular set.

Anonymous said...

I think Patrick Chase is a straight up guy... he sounds cool to me. The only thing I have to disagree with is Kallus. Those Kallus jokes are kinda funny and I'm sure Kallus is not to offended.

Lance Jones was down 5-0 in a third set at Tyler and came back and won the match 7-5 in the third. Way to man up Lance.

i just sent an email to the TD of the Juneteenth, asking about why there is no consolation in singles. this is the only tournament that i know that doesn't offer it. i also want to know why we are playing our first matches on friday, if there is no consolation to occupy courts.

i wonder if i'll get a response.

Anonymous said...

this is what i received from the TD office at the Juneteenth. this did not come from sandra joseph, but someone else there.

and I quote, "As a general rule, only USTA Major Zone and Sectional Sanctioned Tournaments offer consolation matches. If you have further questions, please feel free to contact me or Sandra Joseph."

um.... maybe it's just me, but i can't think of a tournament that i've played in the last 5+ years that didn't offer consolation in singles (sanctioned / not sanctioned, 100 pts, 200 pts, 400 pts, 600 pts, etc.)

Anonymous said...

I say it again, Sandra Joseph is a complete Moron.

Just win your first round match and you will be alright. Make bad line calls if you have to.

Playing Kallus in the first round is a good way to avoid consolation. You just have to listen to a whiny pussy the whole time who can;t admit he is an embarrassment.

Hey Patrick Chase, I'm gonna be at Juneteenth tourney watching some tennis. It's easy to spot me.
I'm all pink with green and purple shorts, and I'll have five tentacles.

I guess Kallus didn't sign up for Junteenth cause it doesn't have consolation round!

Anonymous said...

That last comment is the stupidest thing I have read on this shitty blog. I don't think there is a nicer guy (or more generous to his opponents on the court, i.e. line calls) than Kallus. His problem if you ask me is that he is too nice and at 4.5 you cannot let your opponents walk all over you. What is your problem with the guy cause you really sound stupid.

Anonymous said...

Ok, Chris Leach is nicer, but other than Chris, Kallus is the nicest. You are not by any chance a short, fat guy who likes to dip chew while playing and always resorts to the underhanded serve when things aren't working, are you?

Dear Journeyman,

My forehand sucks, my backhand sucks, my serve sucks, and my whole game sucks. Can you give me some pointers as to what I should do?

When LOTS rips you one it hurts for weeks. You just wanna go into a shell and hide. When PC rips you one, the effects last a few minutes at best. LOTS over PC 1000 to 1.

Who is ranked year to date in the 4.5 and 5.0 that should not belong? I see several. The rankings today are a joke. Hope the best players make the Masters.

Kallus lost first round then caused a scene when he found there was no consolation.

Anonymous said...

Oh and said he would have won, but the summer soltice a few days ago compromised his biorhythyms.

journeyman said...

Ouch!that had to hurt Mr.Anonymous!Good to have you back LOTS.Your candor and wit are unmatched my any other!Patrick Chase does'nt stand a chance against you Reader! Hey what do you guys think about having to register so we can eliminate these spineless anonymous bloggers from hiding behind their keyboards. I think it would also legitimize this blog like the Dallas blog. By the way,to the person asking me for tennis tips,ask someone who's not a 3.0 as I could use a lot of lessons myself. Sorry.

fucking hot as hell. screw playing tennis in this heat

kallus lost first round.

Anonymous said...

Kallus lost first round......kallus complained......kallus did this and that. Dude get a fucking life and realize just because Kallus is happily married and told you no he would not go out with you perhaps you should stop writing crap about him all the time. Seek out some professional help for yourself and the others that seem to have a problem with him. I know you have a picture of Kallus and you jerk off to it all the time, but please let Kallus go and move on.

I miss Kallus and his sexy surnburned biceps.

Congrats to everyone who played in the Juneteenth tournament despite being so damn hot.

Not to disappoint anyone, but I have not posted on this blog in the past 3 days. Any posts as journeyman were from someone else, possibly someone trying to prove the point about making people register.

My early prediction for 4.5 Men's Singles winner at Alamo city Tourney is:

Michael Hanson

Anonymous said...

Hanson has no business playing 4.5.

Anonymous said...

Amen dude.

Anonymous said...

Actually Hansen could be a factor. Whoever plays Hansen will be completely out of rhythm thus in the next round that individual will lose to a better player.

So Hansen will be a factor.

Anonymous said...

Why does Hansen not play open level?

Hey be nice to Hanson. He is my friend.

Green would beat Hanson.

Men's 4.0 - Bruce Inting
Men's 3.5 - Scott Canann

Nuff Said.

Anonymous said...

Sorry but how can you pick Green in the 4.5's in San Antonio? Tim cannot last in the heat and he has lost in the last finals twice. If the draw is small I would agree that Green could win, but since the draw is large it won't happen because of the heat.

Nah, Green is gonna take it all the way home. Go Green Go.

Odion would win 4.5 as well.

I agree as well Green will not win 4.5 in San Antonio as well. If he could not beat Riveria then he cannot win case in point in Tyler as well.

Agreed.

Odion would win in 4.5. True. Switch Green and Odion and Green would win 5.0. Green would also win 4.0 and 3.5.

Moser is a nice guy so chill out. I agree with the Kallus queer posts as well. I guess some dude out there has a crush on Kallus and is pissed cause Kallus is married.
