Team Tennis 6/17/2017

Tennis Fans,

Before I get to the final results of this session of team tennis I will list the team name and the members of that team.  
Giants: Al B., Peter E., Jane, Al M., Soc and Nancy. 
A's: Jackie, Len, Joe, Patti, Frank and Ken Y.
Niners: Orlando, Lupita, Moritz, Michael, Sandy and Claude.
Raiders: Bob, Dave, Don, Carmen, Jim and Tammy.

Again the tennis was hot and furious this week. We had three matches go to three sets. Peter Evans holds the record for the most weeks in a row to go to three sets (3 weeks).  So if you play in a match with Peter, pack a lunch -- it may take all day! Two matches went over two and a half hours: Leo & Steve vs Joe & Len won by Joe & Len (2 sets to 1) and Orlando & Yoko vs Jim & Tammy won by Jim & Tammy (2 sets to 1).  All eight are recovering from heat exhaustion at the Antioch Kaiser Hospital and can be visited at ... Just kidding, they all were drained after the matches but left with smiles on their faces.

Oh yes -- the results for today's matches and the final standings.  The Giants last week had 175 and added 42 for a total of 217. The Raiders last week had 176 and added 96 for a total of 272. The A's last week had 204 and added 102 for a total of 306.  The Niners last week had 223 and added 62 for a total of 285.  Now that I have you confused here are the final standings:

1. A's total 306
2. Niners total 285
3. Raiders total 272
4. Giants total 217

The victory parade for the A's will be on July 4th (it may look like the normal 4th of July parade but we in the tennis club will know the true meaning of the parade ;-) )  The awards for the champs will be presented at the June tennis meeting on the 30th.

Thanks to everyone who played Team Tennis this session.  I am deeply grateful to all those players I called on to sub each and every Saturday.

From those of us who participated, 
Thank You Commish. 








No action shots from Patti - too hot



The Commish wasn't kidding.  Bob was revived before the ambulance could be called.  Coming along fine.




Frank asked that I use the age filter. I would like to know if the filter is working.  How old does he look in these photos?



Jackie's cool


Peter and Carol are cool. Don't know about the furry one.
