Indian Trails looks amazing. I hear it is as impressive a facility as there is in the country, even though I have no idea where Franklin Lakes is. I wonder if AC is driveable for those who lose early & are looking for a quick fix.
Now for predictions- I don't really have any, because I don't even know who is playing. But if Mr. & Mrs. Stulac are playing again, tough to bet against them. Would be an interesting final if they were to play the Zinks. Is Cosimano's home state- assuming he'll play (and be a factor). Rusty Wright seems to embrace mixed as much as anyone, I'd look for him to be a factor despite his age.
Now for questions- any new/darkhorse teams? How is the signup shaping up? Is it true this facility has steam, sauna, jacuzzi & massage rooms?

Rumore has it that Caldwell is playing with Aila Main. Hands down winner.

Will provide colorful commentary once the entrants are known.Aila Main will not win the mixed nationals regardless of who she is playing with: Caldwell, etc., not enough game...not any game actually.
To be continued...

Woaahhhhhh - Who seeded Prendergast/Wright ahead of Delaney/"Never Talk about Me Here"?
Sorry Carrot Top... Easy money to be made picking the #2 seed to go all the way.

I agree with the Greek. Aren't Wright and Prender-aghast eligible for the 95s mixed? Too bad Fulton/Baird did not enter, they would have been seeded 1 or 2 by the same rationale.
Will O'Connor be able to carry a team? Good luck in the quarter-reprieve.
Wright/Prendergast to the semis playing old-school ball - lob 'em 'til they faint.
Who's Jaffe? Why is Arraya wasting his time?
Stulac/Mangan easily into the semis.
Caldwell/Main also into the semis but not without a scare vs. Ruppert/Van Calcar.
Kimmelman/DeRose in straights vs. the Bank and Bozo.
Kimmelman/DeRose win it all vs. Stulac/Mangan.

Wow, what a joke having Rusty and Cindy as the first seeds!! Not only will they lose to Noyes and Erskin, it will be in straight sets.
Glad to see Tonia is going to have a realistic chance to make the semis and maybe the finals. And it won't just be in the Husband and Wife!!
If Aila will take off the jock strap and let David be David then this is a sure winner for the CALDWELL/main team. Men can barely handle Caldwell, it pity the gal who sticks her nose in this fight.
Same thing goes for Stulac. Take over the court!! Tonia is very good about getting out of the way. Don't be shy Mike. Remember you are playing with someone who does not hold your balls in a sling!!
"Never talk about me hear" is in the swan song of his career and all I hear is Yanni on the elevator!!!
Good luck to the rest of you. Wear a cup if you are playing Caldwell.......

Apparently the seeding committee thinks Main is that much of a liability...

Hi all,
For the person that asked who Jaffe is I have to say she is a really good player. I know that some of the guys (including me) think mixed doubles is boring, but this time I am really looking forwards to this tournament.
I see a lot of top 15 men players: Stulac, Caldwell, Derose, O'Connor, Wright, Ruppert and a lot of other excelent players. I think it will be a great competition and a lot of fun.
I see you all Saturday.

ah.... one more thing.... guys, you should rest! get ready to run... mixed nationals = 3 marathons carrying a 120lbs backpack!
