Robert Caime vs. Peter Holden (Team Ektelon). "I've never had anyone put so much pace on my forehand." Peter Holden said to Robert Caime after the match.
Ruben Gonzalez (Team Ektelon)/Russ Bonanno vs. Jason Slyvester (Team Head)/Kenneth Roberts. I thought Ruben was going to have a slight problem without Pedraza as his partner, but who was I kidding. Ruben cancelled out Jason and Russ did a great job vs. Jason's partner, Ken.
A tougher match up for Tina and Me. Ben and Abbi offer a good combination of speed and experience. Believe this one was cut.
The grudge match between Ben and Joe vs. Abbi and Sree. Sree wanted revenge and coaxed Ben into a rematch. Unfortunately the tape ran out on this one.
A classic battle between experience and speed. Ben was pretty good to place with.
Another Doubles Practice with Tina.
Wayne Suggs/Jim LaSala (Team E-Force) vs. Steve Aguirre/Mark Kane. These competitors are no strangers and have played at Hillsborough for years. Unfortunately out of the pair, I believe Jim LaSala and Wayne Suggs have more tournament experience and capitalized that to jump 13-1 in the first game without a single break in serve. Jim/Wayne dominated the front court with kills and pinches while their opponents sank in the back. Believe Steve's partner pulled something in his left knee and wasn't moving well after that. Game two was a lot tougher for Wayne and Jim.
Tom Keogh (Team Wilson) vs. Greg Galbornetti (Team Head) I didn't catch a lot of the match, but Tom Keogh had some monsterous court court passes that had Greg covering a lot more court than he wanted.
Billy Captain/Frank Luchetto vs. Wayne Suggs/Jim LaSala (Team E-Force). Jim and Wayne didn't fare so well against Billy and Frank in the first game. A lot of shots from Frank were hard and brought Jim and Wayne out of position. Billy served to his partner's side and the damaged added up against Wayne and later they switched so Jim had to change tactics. There was a complaint to the ref, but Frank said, "We've been playing this way for fifteen years." There is no rule about it and maybe Wayne should have buried the ball. "They set me up on every shot." Frank said after the match and during the second game he put a period at the end of every shot. The serving to his partner's side eventually got Billy hit at close range by Jim.
