Weiss got district runner up in both girls and boys. Ansel got first place and district champ and Irene Jin got district runner up. Both are headed to regionals!
Ansel Green and Ryan Phan beat PHS in A boys doubles for the first time and lost in the finals to a terrific Anderson team. Only four more tournaments left before the district tournament.
And there it is! Micah Braswell is the 2023 @ITA_Tennis Texas Regionals singles champion! π
He tops #82 Pedro Vives of TCU, 6-4, 6-4, and becomes the first Longhorn to take the title since Christian Sigsgaard in 2018!

Novak Djokovic supports players who have spoken out about injuries due to frequent ball changes & says ATPβs silence is incomprehensible:
βThere is certainly a connection between frequent injuries of the wrist, elbow, & shoulder with ball changes. I am absolutely in favor of choosing one ball with which we will play all ATP tournaments. It is different & more difficult with the Grand Slams because each of the biggest tournaments we play, negotiates separately which sponsor they will have for the balls, but this also happens on the ATP tour. Every tournament has the right to negotiate. However, we simply have to find a way to unify, so that in each category on the ATP tour we have one ball to play with, depending on the surface. Sometimes that change of balls happens three times in three weeks depending on where we play, & it affects the health of the players & the joints themselves.. In that sense, I support the players complaining & asking the ATP to find a way to resolve it. They have to find a solution.. I didn't see that the ATP issued any statement regarding the player's complaints, & these are things that are incomprehensible to me. When you have tennis players from the top who are trying to reach you in public & say βHey, let's talk about that topic,β you have to make a statement, address them, & say βOkay, we understand, let's sit at the table, let's talk.β I donβt understand why there is silence from their side. I hope they will realize that there simply must be direct communication. Likewise, it should be publicly announced that they have received this information & are working on it, in the sense that they will see how they can find a solution that is acceptable. Silence will not change anything.β

Tough loss today to Wylie 5-10 with many competitive matches that didnβt go our way. District runner-ups. Bidistrict champs. Area Finalists. Great year for us. Best Weiss tennis has ever done.
Weiss team tennis becomes the first Weiss tennis team to advance in the playoffs!! We win our bidistrict match against Waxahachie 10-6. First Weiss team to win a playoff match since joining 6A! Area on Thursday.
Weiss secures 2nd place in district with a win over Hutto! That brings our district record to 5-1 and 13-5 overall. We play Waxahachie next Tuesday for bidistrict playoffs. Better yet, Fabiana becomes the first Weiss player to win 100 matches!
