No question, Field needs to trust Tim much more than his previous impotent partners. Still had many bad habits he needs to break. At least I'm not seeing that backward windmill shot any more. He hit some semblance of that shot once in this match and it was out long to which Casebeer said “get that %*$# out of here” if you listen closely. I very much remember Timmy digging hard spike perfectly, Field slaps it over on two, they lose point. If he sets Timmy, they get the point. Tim has to tell him to knock that crap off.

Beej05 - what's it like there in Austin? Krieg Field, right? Cool set-up? Many fans there watching? That Texas heat and humidity has got to be messing with a few of the guys and gals early in the season like this, no? Please describe the set-up and what you like and don't like about the event so far, OK? Thanks!

Just watched the Fieldgren vs Chaimbeer match. Troy takes the ball on 2 far too often for having a partner that sides out as well as Tim does. If he would just play a fundamental game and not try to do too much at all times he would be incrementally better. Chaimbeer didn’t even play particularly well that match, just steady, and pulled away. No question, Field needs to trust Tim much more than his previous impotent partners. Still had many bad habits he needs to break. At least I'm not seeing that backward windmill shot any more. One area where Tim may not be the ideal partner is that one. Someone who would really get on him for that garbage stuff might be beneficial there. In Huntington, when they had match point against Ricardo/Rosie he did it twice (not the back windmill but the same kind of Santa Monica BB type play). Also he really needs to work on getting back and getting an approach when he touches a ball on the block. Way too often he relies on his jump when he could have gotten a couple steps

Please describe the set-up and what you like and don't like about the event so far, OK? Thanks! It’s a pretty cool setup. Stadium court only has one side setup for the fans to watch unless you are club avp or courtside, which is kind of weird but it’s a cool vibe. Once you get outside of stadium court you walk through all of the vendors, which this year have a lot more than last year. Then you get to the outer courts. Better find a spot early for the match you want cause it’s standing room only. The outer court experience in my mind is better. You can hear the players better and interact with them. The experience feels really cool, I know their are so teams missing because of Brazil. But it still feels big and exciting. This is my wife and I’s third year to come and it’s one of our favorite things to do every year. Once we knew AVP was coming we couldn’t miss it

Once we knew AVP was coming we couldn’t miss it Im always in favor of seeing the best competition but there is something cool about seeing teams compete in contexts you usually don't get to see them in. Maybe Burik in a quarter or some qualifiers winning a couple matches or Ed/Rafu in a final. One of the greatest AVP moments in the last few years was seeing KVZ get her win

I just saw the live scores but in Dalcena vs Ed/Rafu’s match, Dalcena were up 11-10 in tech timeout and they won the first 21-13.

I think Dalcena and Rafu/Ed will go three. 12-17 in the second set.

lol you can't put skylar that close to the net against Field.

Anyone who disagrees with my statement that Troy is an elite AVP blocker needs to watch him roof Skylar over and over and over.

Been an interesting tournament for Del Sol and Bruno. They won't win this, but they will finish with best result, but they haven't played particularly good all tournament. They might play better than this the rest of the year and not match this result.
