"Randy-Edgar + 2 in Nutley, Tommy-Tom + 10 at C.G.!":
There were two sessions of GTA Monday Night Tennis: the first one was at The Park Ave. Courts in Nutley hosted by "SWAT" Rich Liu and featuring the GTA Intermediate Invitational Round of 32 Match between "Ravishing" Randy Doran and "The Edge" Edgar Valencia along with other action (with all three parties reporting); and the second was at The Cedar Grove Courts featuring the GTA Intermediate Invitational Round of 32 Match between "Tireless" Tommy Reszkowski and Tom "Gotta Lotta" Heidt (with Reszkowski reporting) along with other action reported by "The Lumberjack" Ryan Pienciak and "The RIz" John Rizzo.
The Park Ave. Courts Results:
GTA Intermediate Invitational Round of 32 Match:
Randy Doran over Edgar Valencia, 6-4, 6-4, to successfully defend his # 36 Rank in the Intermediate Division while also advancing to the Round of 16 of the GTA Intermediate Invitational Tournament! Edgar: 1 Ace!
The Ravishing Report: It was a great match! Edgar has a big first serve and is a great competitor.
The Edge Editorial: The 1st Set started fairly even reaching 4-All. I was relying on my power serves and corner ground-strokes which kept Randy running like a marathon man, but his experience and coolheaded demeanor along with his passing shots broke me down, plus my unforced errors killed my game. Randy was almost steady all throughout the 1st Set.
In the 2nd Set, I started strong again relying on my power serves and ground strokes racing to a 2-0 lead. But again, steady Randy kept placing those strategic shots beyond the capacity of my weak knees. Again my unforced errors killed my game.
"Steady Randy" deserves to win...maybe he can win it all, with "the Nutley boys" cheering him all the way!
Samara's Notes: I congratulate Randy on a hard-fought victory and I thank both of them for their comprehensive reporting and commentary. We now grab one more result from Rich.
2 out of 3 Sets Doubles Match:
Rich Liu/Randy Doran over Muhammad Haque/Edgar Valencia, 6-2, 6-0, to successfully defend their # 36 Rank in the Doubles Division! In the process, Haque/Valencia entered the division as the New # 152 Ranked Team. No Aces.
Samara's Notes: I thank Rich for reporting that result as well. And in other news from the Nutley scene, Fausto "Mr. Mystery" Murg has further earned the reputation of that moniker as he went completely AWOL in his tournament match negotiations with "The Dark Knight" Dan Knitzer (aka TDK). As a result, Murg has been withdrawn from the tourney and Knitzer will receive a bye into The Round of 16.
We now head up to Cedar Grove for another three-headed report…LOL!
The Cedar Grove Results:
GTA Intermediate Invitational Round of 32 Match:
Tommy Reszkowski over Tom Heidt, 6-0, 6-3, to successfully defend his # 20 Rank in the Intermediate Division while advancing to the Round of 16 of the GTA Intermediate Invitational Tournament! In the process, Heidt entered the division as the New # 52 Ranked Player. Tommy: 2 Aces!
The Resz Report: Heidt had some pretty impressive gets throughout the match. It was a more competitive 2nd Set as there were many Deuces in two of the games. He is a nice guy and it was a good match.
Samara's Notes: I thank Tommy for his timely and comprehensive reporting. I also congratulate him on an impressive victory. We now go to the results from Ryan.
Ryan Pienciak/Adam Pienciak over Chris Chiaro/Kris Srinivasan, 6-0! No Aces.
2 out of 3 Sets Doubles Match:
Chris Chiaro/Mike Mole over Ryan Pienciak/Adam Pienciak, 6-4, 6-7 (7-5), 6-4, as both teams entered the Doubles Division as the New # 153 and # 154 Ranked Teams respectively! No Aces.
Samara's Notes: I thank Ryan for his very timely reporting. And now we go to The Riz.
Nick Caputo/Fadia Nicolas over Jordan Bachvaroff/John Rizzo, 6-3! No Aces.
John Rizzo/Nick Caputo over Jordan Bachvaroff/Tito Castolo, 6-3! No Aces.
2 out of 3 Sets Mixed Gender Doubles Match:
John Rizzo/Tito Castolo over Nick Caputo/Fadia Nicolas, 6-3, 6-3! Per the TMT Rules, Rizzo/Castolo entered the Doubles Division as the New # 155 Ranked Team while Caputo/Nicolas entered the Mixed Doubles Division as the New # 44 Ranked Team. No Aces.

Sincerely,
Frank Samara
