They belong to all walks of life and professions and have ranged in ages from five to seventy years old, both male and female. This site is not just about tennis, but rather the fascinating interaction of people and events that transpire when any group of people gather together to share in a common experience.

May Day Tennis 05/01/08

Victor G. and Little Joe vs. Master Loi & Z. (6-4, 6-1)

A bit chilly Thursday Eve. Holding serve was key in these matches with a lot of early breaks. The first set the tone and momentum for the second set for the 6-1 win. Severing at 5-1 Z. pulled out some tough fought and long points for a 40-0 walk off win. Loi 's quick handed volleys and put aways at the net were key.

The next match involved Victor and Loi vs. The Semi Pro 5.5 level Toadman and The Flash Little Joe. It was ugly with Joe and Toad losing 6-3 . Toadmans level has dropped at Winnekenni to a very high 3.o, 3.6 perhaps. Hopefully Saturday will be playable. Sunday looks like a wash, we will see and there is always Cedardale.
