"Senthil-Moka in Wayne, 13 play at C.G.!":
There were two official sessions of GTA Tuesday Night Tennis with the first one coming earlier in the evening and the second later in the evening: the first one was at the Nellis Drive Courts in Wayne and it featured a "Grove Cup 21" Round of 32 Match between "The Webmaster" Senthil Kumar and "Instant" Moka Pathan (with Moka reporting); and then there was the usual evening session at The Cedar Grove Courts which came together late. Results contributors from that session were "The Riz" John Rizzo and "The Marathon Woman" Doinks Srinivasan.
First we go to Wayne and then to Cedar Grove.
The Nellis Drive Courts Result:
"Grove Cup 21" Round of 32 Match:
Moka Pathan over Senthil Kumar, 6-1, 7-5, to become the New # 14 Ranked Player in the Advanced Division while advancing to the Round of 16 of the 21st Annual Grove Cup Men's Singles Tournament! No Aces.
Moka's Brew: We played at the Nellis Drive Courts in Wayne from 5:30 to 6:50 (approximately). It was a competitive match despite the misleading 1st Set score. I was fortunate to win most of the big points in the 1st Set. The 2nd Set was more of a 50-50 battle. I took a 3-2 lead, then he took a 5-4 lead. I served to stay in the set and won that game and the next two following that to win the set and match. I thank Senthil for setting the match in a timely manner. It was a fun match.
Samara's Notes: I thank Moka for his timely and comprehensive reporting. It is greatly appreciated. I also congratulate him on a hard-fought yet impressive victory. Moka is now the first player in the tourney into the Round of 16.
We now head south to Cedar Grove. We will start with The Riz Report and finish with the results submitted by Doinks.
The Cedar Grove Results:
People came to the session, but most not until 8pm or later.
Nick Caputo/Arlene Hyde over Joe Rodrigues/John Rizzo, 6-4! No Aces.
Dino Celis/John Rizzo over Nick Caputo/Arlene Hyde, 6-4! No Aces.
Nick Caputo/Frank Hohorst over Dino Celis/John Rizzo, 6-2! No Aces.
Dennis Cabanatan/Doinks Srinivasan over Kris Srinivasan/Andrew Kroessler, 6-3! No Aces.
Jordan Bachvaroff/Guy Dupoux leading Kris Srinivasan/Tito Castolo, 5-4 (Incomplete when the lights went out at 10pm)! No Aces.
Samara's Notes: I thank both John and Doinks for their very timely reporting. As always, it is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Frank Samara
