The following has been submitted in evidence whether Sopcic knowingly withheld information critical to his bracket placement. The committee's decision will be published once rendered.
Committee members:As Matt's father, I would like to provide detail to his past tennis training. First thing, it does not surprise me Matt did not remember his tennis training as he was very young and the training was short lived. As a 6 or 7 year old, his mother Karen & I thought it would be a good experience for Matt to attend a summer tennis class at the local YWCA. I don't remember all details but it was an introductory class taught by the local tennis instructor. The young instructor had few tennis credentials and at best was a member of his local high school tennis team so the term "tennis professional" does not apply. Due to the fact that his mother and I worked during the day, Matt's grandmother was nice enough to chauffer him to and from these lessons. I believe the introductory lesson's consisted or 4 total classes. It became apparent that he would not continue further to an intermediate class when all he focused on was the fact that after class he had to pick up the balls that he hit during practice. Thus started Matt's baseball career that he continued through High school. At least with baseball you had teammates that helped pick up balls after practice.
Regard,
Mark Sopcic
