"Rizzo hosts 4 at NTC, 20 play at C.G.!":
There were two sessions of GTA Monday Night Tennis: the first of the season at Nutley Tennis Club with member "The Riz" John Rizzo hosting a foursome there for some Doubles, and then a big one at the Cedar Grove Courts featuring contributions to this report from (in no particular order) are: "Bravo" Brenda Jordan, "Dominant" Dawn Peterson, "Daddy O" Paul Daddio, "The Marathon Woman" Doinks Srinivasan, "King Crush" Chris Chiaro, "Salsa Picante" Edwin Ortega and Rizzo again.
We will first go to The Riz Report from NTC and then the multi-layered recap from Cedar Grove.
The NTC Result:
3 out of 5 Sets Doubles Match:
Nick Caputo/Kyle Eng over John Rizzo/Frank Hohorst, 6-2, 6-4, 6-0 as both teams entered the Doubles Division as the New # 162 and # 163 Ranked Teams respectively! Frank: 1 Ace on Nick in the 2nd Set; and Nick: 1 Ace on John in the 2nd Set. This was played on Court One which is considered to be the "Show Court" at NTC as it is right in front of the Clubhouse and deck.
Samara's Notes: I thank John for his timely reporting…and it is also nice to see him hosting small, private sessions of GTA Tennis at the Nutley Tennis Club once again. We will hear more from him near the end of the Cedar Grove report…which begins now!
The Cedar Grove Results:
2 out of 3 Sets Mixed Doubles Match:
Mike Mole/Dawn Peterson over Jordan Bachvaroff/Brenda Jordan, 6-4, 6-2, as both teams entered the Mixed Doubles Division as the New # 51 and # 52 Ranked Teams respectively! No Aces.
Samara's Notes: Both Brenda and Dawn reported this result and agreed on the score (trust me…that does not always happen…LOL!) Mike and Dawn scored an impressive victory over "Team Jordan."
2 out of 3 Sets Mixed Doubles Match:
Paul Daddio/Arlene Hyde over Kris Srinivasan/Doinks Srinivasan, 6-4, 6-4 to become the New # 3 Ranked Team in the Mixed Doubles Division! No Aces.
Samara's Notes: I am going with Paul's version of events (i.e. the score…as Doinks thought it was 6-4, 6-3…as his is more generous to The Srinivasans and it is the only thing he reported…so I am hoping he had it right). We will hear more from Doinks later in this report.
2 out of 3 Sets Doubles Match:
Chris Chiaro/Nathan Fernandes over Mike Kazlauskas/Joe Rodrigues, 6-3, 6-2, as both teams entered the Doubles Division as the New # 164 and # 165 Ranked Teams respectively! Mike: 1 Ace on Chris.
2 out of 3 Sets Mixed Gender Doubles:
Senthil Kumar/Edwin Ortega over Tito Castolo/Natalia Sout, 7-5, 6-3! Per the TMT Rules, Kumar/Ortega entered the Doubles Division as the New # 166 Ranked Team. The team of Castolo/Sout is already ranked in the Mixed Doubles Division. No Aces.
Ryan Pienciak/Adam Pienciak over Jordan Bachvaroff/Mike Mole, 6-4! No Aces.
Adam Pienciak/Nathan Fernandes over Chris Chiaro/Ryan Pienciak, 6-4! No Aces.
John Rizzo/Frank Hohorst over Jordan Bachvaroff/Kris Srinivasan, 6-2! No Aces.
Jordan Bachvaroff/Kris Srinivasan leading John Rizzo/Frank Hohorst, 5-2 (Incomplete when the lights went out at 10pm)! No Aces.
Adam Pienciak/Nathan Fernandes leading Chris Chiaro/Ryan Pienciak, 5-3 (Incomplete when the lights went out at 10pm)! No Aces.
Senthil Kumar/Edwin Ortega leading Tito Castolo/Natalia Sout, 4-3 (Incomplete with Tito serving at 30-All when the lights went out at 10pm)! No Aces.
Samara's Notes: And now we go to Doinks for some additional commentary.
The Details from Doinks: Spin (aka Dan Martinelli) and Dino Celis came after 9:30. I was hitting with Rafaelo Kazakov at the time. After Rafaelo left, Dino gave me some serving tips while Spin threw the balls back from the other side of the net.
Samara's Notes: I thank Doinks and everyone else for their very timely reporting. It is truly appreciated as it is the reporting of the results that makes the league what it is…we are nothing without it!
Sincerely,
Frank Samara
