I thought winters was on the weaker side for supernationals and this is not even close to the level of that tournament. The usta national rankings are going to be so messed up from tournaments like this. I dont even know if there is a kid in the draw that will stand a chance at easter bowl. I guess in the long run it wont really make a difference. I think gold balls should be awarded with easter bowl still being as its only americans and the spring nationals should be eliminated or taken down to a lower grade.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10016685.post-25939007864210196342009-03-17T10:39:00.000-04:002009-03-17T10:39:00.000-04:00Thanks Colette...
