"Kuzavas/Pillay-Liu/Sheldon at C.G.!":
There was just one session of GTA Saturday Tennis…a morning one at The Cedar Grove Courts that featured the GTA Mixed Doubles Championship Match as the reigning GTA Mixed Doubles Champions: "Super Mario" Marijus Kuzavas and "The Smackdown" Sally Pillay put their Titles on the line against the 2017 M-Dub Champs: "Richie Running Things" Rich Liu and "Killer Kat" Kathy Sheldon (as reported by Marijus). We go to his report now.
The Cedar Grove Result:
GTA Mixed Doubles Championship Match:
Marijus Kuzavas/Sally Pillay over Rich Liu/Kathy Sheldon, 6-1, 6-0, to complete their second successful GTA Mixed Doubles Championship defense of their first reign! Marijus: 2 Aces on Kathy; Sally: 1 Ace on Kathy; and Rich: 1 Ace on Sally!
The Super Mario Scoop: Despite the score, the match was fun and entertaining. The temperature was below 40 degrees (when the match started around 11am) and it took us a while to warm ourselves up at first. I think the weather conditions affected our opponents a bit more than it did us. Rich was making perhaps more unforced errors than usual. Kathy was solid. Sally was good after she warmed up a bit.
The Consequences: Now Kuzavas/Pillay are free to defend their Titles against any team ranked in the Mixed Doubles Division at that particular time. But it must also be said that they are under no obligation to do so for the balance of this season. In fact, their next defense does not have to occur until the month of April 2018.
Samara's Notes: I thank Marijus for reporting this result in a very timely fashion and also providing his commentary (as he always does). It is much appreciated.
Sincerely,
Frank Samara
