Anyone surprised that McNamara twins did not get out of qualification ? Not really. It’s a 40 hour travel day and probably their first long haul flight like that. Not surprised either. They are new to this type of back to back 40 hour traveling. They will get used to it eventually and be fine.

Not having a blocker is big problem in today's game. Speed and precision will prevail over size 8 out of 10 times but if they meet the teams with size , speed and precisions they lose 9 out of 10 times

goldengirlsx3 I will root for your girls this tourney! (Since mine are skipping) 🤪 Nice draw for them. Anouk/Joanna are plodding hit first giants and Brooke should have no issue siding out against them. The next ball Anouk chases down will probably be the first. Australians are not as easy and Mariafe is Brooke-bain but they played them tough last time and they can be scored on. Maybe get some revenge for the USA after they plowed through all our teams last time Cant believe Betsi is the 14 seed in a 4 star.

Or else they would’ve been in CQ.

But I know you have a grudge against Day and Flint from last time in Austin 😌

KW/BS probably the best team in the qualifiers and CQs depending on which Brazil team is 4th, but there are a bunch of teams in there that could get hot and beat them. Almost no one is going to make it out of 7 CQ + Qualis in a row. The math dictates that if they dont get into the MD soon it will happen to them too

I think Kerri & Brooke are a better team than I originally thought they were gonna be. We also have not seen them play against April & Alix. I think they are a better team than all the other USA teams except the ATeam. I’m curious what difficulties they can present to the A-Team.

Also, I will look back to that Vegas tourney as a blown opportunity for this team.

Also, I will look back to that Vegas tourney as a blown opportunity for this team. Im bullish on them too and really enjoying this run. They have had big wins (Brazil, MHPavs, and Borger/Sude) but they had bad losses in the Hague, Sydney x 2, and that two gamer to Summer/Sara. Brooke tops out at good defender, bad sideout player and until they post a semi at a 4 star or better, we have to assume that as a team, Sara/Summer are superior, since they have done that and won one last year. Kerri is the best big the US has, although Alix is coming on, but Sara is much better than Brooke
