9/2/18:
"8 play at PAC, 7 play at C.G.!":
"Hollywood" Frank Samara did not host the usual GTA Sunday Tennis session at Albion Park in Clifton even though the weather ultimately ended up cooperating in time to allow a session. Samara had been invited to a BBQ at Nutley Tennis Club hosted by "Bionic" Bo Folchi and "Dynamic Dee" Denise Savino and it started at 1pm. Other GTA players in attendance were "The Riz" John Rizzo and "L-Boogie" Laurie Boughton.
This week "TNT" Tim Nguyen was able to host the morning session he has begun helming as of late at The Park Ave. Courts in Nutley. And then there was the usual evening session at The Cedar Grove Courts with the contributors from that session being "The Marathon Woman" Doinks Srinivasan and "The Lumberjack" Ryan Pienciak.
We will start this report with how things unfolded in Nutley and then we will go to Cedar Grove for the rest.
Let's turn this report over to Tim right now!
The weather predicted rain all over the map for this weekend, but it turned out to be yet another nice Sunday morning of GTA Tennis at PAC.
The Park Ave. Courts Results:
Edgar Valencia/Arunraj Nair leading Tim Nguyen/Keith Lewkowitz, 4-3 (Incomplete as Keith wanted to let Carl Brownson jump in because we had an odd number of players and Keith didn't want Carl to wait too long)! No Aces. Plus, Keith was also tired and he left early because he was up late the night before watching the US Open Tennis Tournament.
2 out of 3 Sets Doubles Match:
Edgar Valencia/Arunraj Nair over Tim Nguyen/Carl Brownson, 6-2, 6-0, as both teams entered the Doubles Division as the New # 45 and # 46 Ranked Teams respectively! Arunraj, Edgar and Carl: 1 Ace each (at the very least)!
Rich Liu/Joe Renga over Tim Nguyen/Matt Aery, 7-6 (7-5)! Rich and Matt: 2 Aces each!
Rich and Joe lead 5-1 and thought that they were going to finish the set victoriously, but Matt and I managed to come back really well. We climbed all the way back to 5-5 and then they lead 6-5 and it finally went to 6-6 for the Tiebreaker which they won 7-5!
We will do it again next Sunday at 8:30 am.
Samara's Notes: I really appreciate Tim stepping up as the host of these early Sunday morning sessions in Nutley. I also thank him for his timely and comprehensive reporting.
We now head into the evening and move west to Cedar Grove.
The Cedar Grove Results:
Senthil Kumar/Doinks Srinivasan over Kris Srinivasan/Arlene Hyde, 6-2! No Aces.
2 out of 3 Sets Doubles Match:
Ryan Pienciak/Adam Pienciak over Senthil Kumar/John Rizzo, 6-3, 6-0, to successfully defend their # 4 Rank in the Doubles Division! No Aces.
Ryan Pienciak/Senthil Kumar over Adam Pienciak/John Rizzo, 6-3! No Aces.
Ryan Pienciak leading Adam Pienciak, 5-3 (Incomplete with Ryan serving up Ad-In/Match Point when the lights went out at 10pm)! No Aces.
Samara's Notes: I thank Ryan and Doinks for their timely reporting. It is greatly appreciated!
Sincerely,
Frank Samara
