nah Webb didnt make it to state, but ive seen both of them play either at USTA tourneys and Chris at West High. Chris is just bigger and more powerful.

 

Oooo, yeah I'm glad I live in Murfreesboro so that I could attend this year. Those guys out there are sooo good and it's really nice to watch, even when ur good friends lose, lol. Yeah but this is really only the first or second time I've seen these guys play so I'm just judging by what I have lately seen. Anyway, it was nice talking to you but I'm gonna go. Have a good one.

I agree, I've seen both Chris and Ian play before and I think Chris has the edge. However, if Ian comes ready to play out of the blocks and Chris is sluggish, the match could easily swing the other way.

I have to agree that Chris i has the edge. I know Chris very well so I guess I have a bias, but I have played Ian a couple times and Chris has the edge to me. Chris not only is more consisent with really heavy topsin on both sides, he has the experience and mental edge over Ian. Ian does have a huge forehand, but Chris has the tools physically and mentally to work around Ian's forehand.

My prediction:

Chris beats Ian 4 and 3

Wishing lost his match today, but he was in the running for the longest racquet throw.

lol that was Doug Flutie esque

Ian will beat Chris Williams... Chris went 3 sets with Andrew Solarski..Ian was down 5-3 15-40 to Kyle and then he turned it on. He played amazing from that point on. If Ian is playing well or anywhere close to the way he did today, he will win 3,3. I was right in front of Chris and hes solid but Ian can do just about everything..better than him...at least he did today

btw..i have NO relation to UK Girlie My sisters live in Arkansas. :thumb:

If you guys saw Ian play today I think you'd be saying differently. I've seen Ian play before and the way he was playing today...I don't know how kyle even made it close the first set. Kyle didn't play a bad match...not his best but definitely not bad in my opinion. Ian was CRUSHING his forehand and his return consistently and I watched Christopher Williams play Andrew Solarski on the first court while Kyle's match was playing and I don't think Chris can hang with Ian if Ian plays like he did today. Ian playing like he did today I'll take Ian 3,3

I practiced with Ian for about a year and a half so I knew he was capable of playing that. People watch him play and thing...thats a fluke or what a tree...but he does it consistently. Chris Williams gives Ian a good ball to hit...to get Ian out of his rythm you have to throw him junk. Throw in some slice and heavy topspin and consistently change it up. He hates that stuff and always has. I dont see Chris williams being able to do enough of that.

Chris definitely isnt more powerful.

 

Chris is smooth, and has a very consistant forehand with heavy topspin, but has a terrible second serve.

 

Ian is very smooth, hits flatter groundies with less margin, and has a much stronger backhand. Ian didn't serve great today, atleast I was expecting a bigger serve, but I still would give him the edge in the serve column, on his serve today.

 

Chris Williams might be able to fight and take a set, but Ian has played in many more big matches than Chris has, and he will come up with the goods when he needs them.

      Preseason closes at I-24 Invitational

      By jneal · Posted

      The golf preseason came to a close Friday at Indian Hills as the I-24 Invitational hosted by Rockvale was contested. Webb School won the title by 13 shots 295-308 over Rockvale. Rockvale girls won the title by five shots over Providence  Christian 155-`160 after the Lions won the 1913 Invitational at Johnson City by 10 shots over Greeneville. The course was wet and muddy in the morning but the rain finally broke and some good scores were had. The Webb School boys had Phet Phothong score a 69 while Carter  Burks shot 70 following up his 72 in Johnson City on Monday. The girls had Solia Mechling of Rockvale lead the way with a 73 in taking the title as they improved their score by 30 shots over Monday in East Tennessee as they found the homestead Indian Hills to their liking.  Rockvale and Central Magnet will head to the Battle of Hermitage on Wednesday July 31st. On Tuesday Stewarts Creek and Smyrna will do battle at Smyrna Golf Course  with an early tee time of 11 AM. The next day Oakland, Webb and Nolensville will tee off at Champions Run beginning at 9 AM. Eagleville will open on July 29th heading to Lawrenceburg and the Country Club awaiting host Lawrence County and several other teams to tee up the regular season. The season will end in October at Sevierville when state champions will be crowned.
