The Tournament Takes a Week Off

With the U.S. Open in full swing this week, the 2nd Annual Team Chaos Tennis Tournament took a short break with very few matches scheduled, to allow players to fly to New York and compete against the likes of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Andy Roddick, and Teymuraz Gabashvili.
Team Chaos Tournament organizers were initially skeptical about adjusting the game schedule based on some little known tennis event on the East Coast. “I’m sure their event will do very well once it has a few more years to catch on,” said Team Chaos Tennis Tournament organizer Jason Von Feldt. “Not every tennis event can expect to match the incredible growth and popularity of the Team Chaos Tennis Tournament.”
It wasn’t known how many players from the Team Chaos Tournament would actually be competing in the U.S. Open. Reigning champion Steve Richter did fly out to the Big Apple to catch a few matches, but had previously announced that he would not being playing this year, as he was focused on defending his Team Chaos Tournament crown.
Steps are being taken to ensure that this sort of scheduling overlap will not happen in the future. “We have asked the U.S. Open committee to check with us before scheduling their event next year, to ensure we don’t have an overlap again,” said Team Chaos Tennis Tournament organizer Jason Von Feldt. “We haven’t heard back from them yet, but I’m sure they are just really busy this week and we’ll get a call from them soon.”
In other tournament notes, I was unfortunately forced to withdraw from the tournament due to injury, having developed tennis elbow. What are the chances of developing tennis elbow while playing tennis? Apparently pretty slim, as my doctor seemed very surprised when I explained that I sustained the injury, of all places, on the tennis court. While I will be hanging up my tennis racquet for the foreseeable future, I will continue to deliver the kind of in-depth, fact-based reporting you have come to expect from all Team Chaos sports updates. Stay tuned.
