"Just 4 play at PAC!":
It was a light Friday night in terms of GTA Tennis as there was only one session featuring four players at The Park Ave. Courts in Nutley as reported by both "The Great Wall" Muhammad Haque and Arunraj "Air" Nair. So let's go to their report now.
The Park Ave. Courts Results:
2 out of 3 Sets Doubles Match:
Santosh Reddy/Arunraj Nair over Rich Liu/Muhammad Haque, 6-2, 6-3, as both teams entered the Doubles Division as the New # 64 and # 65 Ranked Teams respectively! No Aces.
The Arun Rundown: In both sets we were able to maintain our lead from the beginning. Rich and Muhammad played well, with Rich's strong forehand shots and Mohammad's serves. In return, Santosh countered their attack with his forehand and cross-court shots and I was more than happy to be the one guarding at the net.
The Muhammad Memo: Santosh played very well and his forehand bamboozled Rich a couple of times.
We then switched the teams to play a One-Setter.
Muhammad Haque/Arunraj Nair over Rich Liu/Santosh Reddy, 7-5! No Aces.
The Arun Rundown: Santosh and Rich were too good for us in the beginning and they easily took the lead to 3-1. We then came back into the set to tie it up at 3-3. But again they took the lead, up 5-3. In the 9th game, they were leading 40-15, but our fight was still not over. We won that game and then took the next three games for the comeback to win the set at 7-5.
The Muhammad Memo: At one time they were leading 5-3 with Double Match Point, but we came back and won.
Samara's Notes: I thank both Muhammad and Tim for their timely and comprehensive reporting.
Sincerely,
Frank Samara
