9/5/17:
"Kumar-Ortega in Wayne!":
Quite the opposite of this past Sunday where morning rains cancelled any chance of the usual GTA Sunday Tennis morning session at Albion Park only to clear later in the day and allow an evening session at The Cedar Grove Courts, this Tuesday there was action in the morning hours…but then heavy rain rolled thru the area around 7:30, thus killing any chance of a night session at Cedar Grove.
At the Nellis Drive Courts in Wayne (where The Bubble will soon be going up once again), GTA Intermediate Champ: "The Webmaster" Senthil Kumar put his Title on the line against the challenger (just one rung beneath Top Contender: "The Annihilator" Nihar Panda), "Salsa Picante" Edwin Ortega. Senthil reported this result later that same afternoon.
The Nellis Drive Courts Result:
GTA Intermediate Title Match:
Senthil Kumar over Edwin Ortega, 6-3, 4-6, 6-3, to complete his second successful GTA Intermediate Title defense of his first reign and also successfully defend his # 17 Rank in the Advanced Division! Edwin: 1 Ace in the 2nd Set.
The Untangled Web: We started at 10:30am. In the 1st and 3rd Sets, it was 3-3 and then I took the next three games to close those sets. In the 2nd Set, it was 4-4 and Edwin won the next two to take that set.
Samara's Notes: 2017 GTA Intermediate Invitational Champ and Top Contender, Nihar Panda, was OK with an exemption being granted to allow this match to be a full Title defense while he still tries to schedule his match with Senthil. But now there are no more exceptions or exemptions...the Kumar-Panda match must happen in the month of Sept.
I thank Senthil for reporting this result in a very timely fashion. And I also thank Nihar for his cooperation in all this.
Sincerely,
Frank Samara
