"17 play (1 New, 1 Return) at C.G.!":
There was just one official session of GTA Tuesday Night Tennis and it took place at The Cedar Grove Courts with the contributors from that session being "Killer Kat" Kathy Sheldon, "The Riz" John Rizzo, "Lucky" Leo Victor and "The Marathon Woman" Doinks Srinivasan.
Let's get to the action!
The Cedar Grove Results:
2 out of 3 Sets Women's Doubles Match:
Kathy Sheldon/Diane Raum over Dawn Peterson/Kathy Marabundo, 6-3, 8-6, as both teams entered the Women's Doubles Division as the New # 15 and # 16 Ranked Teams respectively! No Aces. It was the official GTA Debut of Kathy Marabundo.
The Chat from Kat: Diane and I needed to practice as a team for the upcoming tournament and Dawn and Kathy were willing to play us.
Diane Raum/Kathy Marabundo over Kathy Sheldon/Dawn Peterson, 6-2! No Aces.
The Chat from Kat: My friend Kathy Marabundo is a nice addition to the group. She's a wicked lefty with terrific shots! We had a fun match.
Samara's Notes: I thank Kat for her detailed reporting and also for recruiting.
2 out of 3 Sets Doubles Match:
Edwin Ortega/Kyle Eng over John Rizzo/Pranav Sinha, 6-4, 6-2, as both teams entered the Doubles Division as the New # 81 and # 82 Ranked Teams respectively! No Aces.
Samara's Notes: I thank John for reporting that result.
2 out of 3 Sets Mixed Gender Doubles Match:
Tom La/Arlene Hyde over Kris Srinivasan/Leo Victor, 6-0, 6-1, as La/Hyde entered the Mixed Doubles Division as the New # 64 Ranked Team while Srinivasan/Victor entered the Doubles Division as the New # 83 Ranked Team! No Aces.
Kris Srinivasan/Tom La over Joe Rodrigues/Leo Victor, 6-1! No Aces.
Kris Srinivasan/Joe Rodrigues over Tom La/Leo Victor, 7-5! No Aces.
The Lowdown from Leo: I was playing very poorly as my mind was not in the right place. I came to play tennis to get out of it, but I feel for the players who paired with me (though they were very supportive). The only thing I do well is move and that was not even the case on this occasion!
Samara's Notes: I thank Leo for his detailed reporting. We all have off days. I just hope his outside issues get resolved to his satisfaction. Often, tennis is a welcome distraction…but sometimes the stress of everyday life is too much to overcome. I can definitely relate!
Fadia Nicolas/Arlene Hyde over Sam Senowitz/Doinks Srinivasan, 6-3! No Aces. It was the official GTA Return of Sam Senowitz.
Sam Senowitz/Fadia Nicolas over Doinks Srinivasan/Vivian Lee, 6-2! No Aces.
Samara's Notes: I thank Doinks for her reporting as well. It is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Frank Samara
