9/4/17:
"Chris/Gen/Kris host 10 at C.G.!":
There was just one session of GTA Labor Day Monday Tennis at The Cedar Grove Courts and it had three impromptu hosts reporting results: "King Crush" Chris Chiaro, "The S Bomber" Genalin Capan and "The K Man" Kris Srinivasan (the last of which had not planned on hosting and/or reporting, but then his notes were needed as a matter of clarification).
We go to that combined report now (as some of the results overlapped between the reporting sources).
The Cedar Grove Results:
Chris Chiaro/Omar Santos over Nathan Fernandes/Mike Mole, 6-0! Mike: 2 Aces on Omar!
Nathan Fernandes/Mike Mole over Chris Chiaro/Omar Santos, 7-5! Mike: 1 Ace on Omar.
Chris Chiaro over Mike Mole, 6-1! No Aces.
Chris Chiaro over Mike Mole, 6-4! Mike: 1 Ace on Chris!
The King Crush Commentary: Mike played well…especially in the second One-Setter. He made a lot of gets and was hitting great shots with his forehand. It was a fun, yet tough set.
Genalin Capan over Doinks Srinivasan, 6-3! Gen: 1 Ace.
Gen's Notes: We played this one from 8:40 to 9:15pm on Court 3. It was a pretty competitive One-Setter. I held and Doinks held after a 5 Deuce battle. I had an opportunity to break her serve, but was unable to convert. From thereon, I took the next 4 games for a 5-1 lead. Doinks went on to break my service game and then she held to get it closer at 3-5. On my serve, I went up 40-15 (Double Game/Match Point). Doinks saved 1 MP to make it 40-30, but then I closed out the set on the 2nd MP!
We both went for our shots. Since we have not played as much this season, consistency was a factor. There would be times we hit some solid winners and other times where we missed. We still had some very nice rallies in the mix. Doinks was tough and didn't make it easy on me. It was a lot of fun.
"Battle of the Sexes" One-Setter:
Kris Srinivasan/Frank Hohorst over Doinks Srinivasan/Genalin Capan, 6-4! Kris: 1 Ace on Doinks.
Gen's Notes: We played the Doubles One-Setter above from 9:21 to 9:59! We got this one done just in time before the lights went out. It was Kris who suggested we play it as a Battle of the Sexes set. It was another good set with impressive play from everyone. Doinks and I jumped out to a 4-1 lead. Then the gentlemen picked up some good momentum to turn things around by taking 5 straight games for the W!
The K has his say: I am glad that other players are chipping in with the results. It has relieved me a bit as I surely could use a break for a short while. I just need to give my input on one result that is likely to not be reported by others.
2 out of 3 Sets Doubles Match:
Sairaj Srinivasan/Frank Hohorst over Kris Srinivasan/Levy Lorenzo, 6-2, 7-6 (7-4), to become the New #91 and #92 Ranked Teams in the Doubles Division respectively! No Aces.
The K has his say: This was almost one-sided as both Frank and Sairaj whipped us good for the most part of the match. Frank was terrific at the net and very consistent. Sairaj was brutal with some of his attacking shots, returns of serves and with a great touch at the net. I was pathetic, but Levy was earnest as always in his efforts. We were down 1-5 in the 2nd Set when Sairaj said we were lucky to get one. That was just the thing I needed to get into fighting mode. We went on to win the next five games, but then blew the chance to close the set. We lost to some good shots in the Tiebreaker at crucial times to end up in a losing cause. The 2nd Set turned out to be good one. Cheers!
Samara's Notes: I thank everyone for reporting these results in a very timely fashion.
Sincerely,
Frank Samara
