6/2/18:
"Manrose-Brownson in Nutley, 2 play in AP, 10 play at C.G.!":
There were three official sessions of GTA Sunday Tennis: an early morning one at the Park Ave. Courts in Nutley featuring a full Challenge Match between "The Bachelorette's Prize" Scott Manrose and Carl "Rusty" Brownson (as reported by both), then an early afternoon session at Albion Park in Clifton as "Del Brotro" Mike Mole and "The S Bomber" Genalin Capan got together for a couple of One-Setters (with Gen reporting) and then a late afternoon into the evening session at the Cedar Grove Courts that features reporting contributions from Laurie "L-Boogie" Boughton, "The Professor" Tim Nguyen and "The Marathon Woman" Doinks Srinivasan.
Let's go to the Challenge Match first, then the One-Setters reported by Gen before gathering all the results from Cedar Grove!
The Park Ave. Courts Result:
2 out of 3 Sets Challenge Match:
Carl Brownson over Scott Manrose, 6-2, 6-4, to become the New # 49 Ranked Player in the Intermediate Division! Carl: 5 Aces!
The Manrose Presentation: Carl's a friendly guy, is great charging the net and really started blasting his serves to put the second set away.
The Not-So-Rusty Anymore News: Fun match! Scott's got a nice lefty slice forehand that really catches you off-balance. Let's do it again, Scott.
Samara's Notes: I thank both for their very timely reporting and congratulate Carl on an impressive victory. I guess I can't call him "Rusty" anymore. Perhaps the new moniker can be "Buster" (another play off of his last name) as I can see him soon pulling off some upsets, Buster Douglas style!
We now turn this report over to Gen.
Mike Mole and I got together at Albion around 1pm. We hit for 45 minutes. It was really sunny on the courts. Then we played a couple of One-Setters.
The Albion Park Results:
Mike Mole over Genalin Capan, 6-2! Mike: 1 Ace! We played this from 2:05 to 2:30.
Mike Mole over Genalin Capan, 6-3! Mike: 2 Aces! We played this from 2:35 to 3:05.
We then took a mini-break afterwards before Mike practiced serving while I worked on returning them. We left by 3:45.
Samara's Notes: I thank Gen for her timely and comprehensive report. We now head up to Cedar Grove for the rest of the day's results.
The Cedar Grove Results:
T.J. Shah/Laurie Boughton over Jose Gonzales/Elizabeth Cho, 6-3! No Aces.
The Lowdown from Laurie: It was a great set of tennis on a beautiful night. :-)
Mike Kazlauskas/Andrew Truong over Kris Srinivasan/Tim Nguyen, 6-3! No Aces.
Rajan Shah/Tim Nguyen over Andrew Truong/Doinks Srinivasan, 7-5! No Aces.
Tim Nguyen/Doinks Srinivasan leading Jose Gonzales/Elizabeth Cho, 5-3 (Incomplete when the lights went out at 10pm when the last game was at Deuce)!
Samara's Notes: I thank everyone for their timely reporting. I also want to once again thank "The Photog" Dawn Howes for taking some photos of our players in action. It was her very first appearance at a GTA event and she hopes to play with us soon as well.
Sincerely,
Frank Samara
