6/10/18:
"Fernanda-Fadia in OP early!":
There was just one official session of GTA Sunday Tennis: an early morning one at the Overpeck Park Courts in Teaneck that featured a GAH8 Quarterfinal Match between "The Argentine Machine" Fernanda Toker and Fadia "Finesse" Nicolas (with Fernanda reporting).
Soon after that match ended, rain resumed through most of the Northern New Jersey area which prevented "Hollywood" Frank Samara from hosting his usual GTA Sunday Tennis session (he has been unable to do so since the last Sunday in April!) and also did not allow any other GTA Tennis sessions to take place anywhere else for the balance of the day and night.
Let's go to that lone official result now!
The Overpeck Park Result:
GAH8 Quarterfinal Match:
Fernanda Toker over Fadia Nicolas, 5-7, 6-2, 6-1, to successfully defend her # 1 Rank in the Women's Division while advancing to the Semifinals of the 8th Annual Gail-ann Hamilton Memorial Women's Singles Tournament! No Aces.
Toker's Take: We arrived at 10am and started the match at 10:15. We finished a little before 12:40! Fadia is a great competitor and I knew it wasn't going to be easy. In the 1st Set, I was up 4-1 and she started playing amazingly and I couldn't handle it. In the 2nd Set and 3rd Set, she was a little bit more tired and started making some errors. I was lucky! I love and hate playing Fadia. It is always very close despite the score.
Samara's Notes: I thank Fernanda for her very timely reporting. It is truly appreciated. She is now the first player into the Semis where she awaits the culmination of a scenario that still involves three players. "Echo" Elizabeth Cho is already into the Quarterfinals where she is still waiting for the winner of a Round of 12 Match between "Automatic" Anna Mazur and "Energetic" Nina Kallay.
Sincerely,
Frank Samara
