"Riz hosts 4 at NTC, Kris/Nate host 8 at C.G.!":
GTA Saturday Tennis took place at two locations: one at The Nutley Tennis Club as "The Riz" John Rizzo acted as host and the other at The Cedar Grove Courts as both "The K Man" Kris Srinivasan and GTA Champion: "Nate the Great" Nathan Fernandes reported results from there.
Since the NTC action took place just a bit earlier, we will go to The Riz Report first.
The NTC Results:
3 out of 5 Sets:
Don Moya/Janice Wang over John Rizzo/Alfred Chen, 6-3, 0-6, 6-0, 6-4! No Aces.
Samara's Notes: I thank John for reporting that result in a very timely manner. We now head up to Cedar Grove and let Kris begin the festivities.
The great part of Saturday was mostly a drill and hitting session with limited players on the courts. We did get to play a match. Dino Celis kicked off the evening session with solid drills and exercises for us. The cross-court exchanges between Doinks and I was rapid-fire and an exhilarating session that helped our feet move well.
The Cedar Grove Results:
2 out of 3 Sets:
Kris Srinivasan/Levy Lorenzo over Jordan Bachvaroff/Doinks Srinivasan, 6-2, 7-5! Jordan: 1 Ace on Kris in the 2nd Set!
The 2nd Set turned out to be the more compelling and close one. We survived a very slight drizzle, but the last part of the evening did get to see the courts getting wet. That didn't deter Nate and Natalia Sout from hitting the balls non-stop. Earlier in the evening, Nate and Natalia teamed up to play against Jose and Syed. I believe they played a couple of sets.
Samara's Notes: I thank Kris for reporting that result…and also offering up that segue. So, now we go to Nate as obviously these results are being reported in an order that is not chronological. Highly illogical! LOL!
2 out of 3 Sets:
Jose Gonzales/Syed Rashid over Nathan Fernandes/Natalia Sout, 7-6 (7-4), 6-4! No Aces.
Samara's Notes: This one sounds like it could be a possible Nominee for Specialty Doubles Match of the Year at season's end.
Samara's Notes: I thank both Kris and Nate for reporting those results in a very timely manner.
Samara signing off!
