Round 1 Match 3 – Recap
Oct 3rd, Thursday
Hall of Framers vs B III Ball Busters
Butcher/Hebert Buddy/Fair 6-3,6-3
Opps there goes another one!
When rackets gets broken, there’s trouble in Denmark. Nair poster boy and you can call me Ray no
match for Ball Buster line one. Sir
Isaac helps the Ego get back into the win column with ho-hum 3 and 3 victory.
Peltier/Mesa B
III / Econo 7-5, 4-6, 1-0
This one hurt.
Spoiling Hefty Lefty’s attempt to get two victories from a depleted line
up, B III and ADHD-Robbie surprise in upset of the night. First 4.5 to go down and go down hard he
did. As Eskine always says…Bentleague
success is about pairings and match ups and this one didn’t bode well for HOF’ers. Playing against two of the best overhead
hitters at PAC was not conducive to El Cubano’s lob fest game last night. Although it went three sets…tie breaker was
anti-climactic. B III feeling pretty
good getting 3 victories and garnering a share of 1st place.
Tony / Gordo Perry/Cayman 6-4, 6-0
Welcome aboard the Tony The Tiger train Gordo. Even through the 4-4 first set, Triple T (aka
The Saint of St. Bernard) and Gordo appeared in control of the match. For those tracking at home that is three
victories in three attempts against the three individuals who were drafted in
front of little Nadal in the fourth round.
Just saying. Whenever you can use
the word Steady and Gordo in the same sentence, there are usually good results
to follow. Hats off to the other
undefeated HOF’er.
Robert/Winn Sid
/ Nick 7-5, 6-2
Swami thought we had a chance at this one. Going to clay may have been the difference
here. Tricky Nicky vying for most
improved player and Senor Sid were tough on the dirt. Pair that against an inconsistent Anglo Hispanic
and a newbie making his B V debut and you get a straight set
loss. I predict a Winn in your future
Ken so hang in there.
BFAM vs Bring It
Donald/Dave JA
/ Kenny 6-2, 6-3
Ouch. The other Allen
Brother had no answer for the Red Robin’s debut. Cementing his Best Player not named Jon status,
KennyO proved worthy paired with a giddy Big JohnAllen. No tea and crumpets for you DaveG. Easier than expected W for Bring It.
Keller / Hunt Ronny/Ray
6-4, 4-6, 1-0
Match of the evening had the crowd on the edge of their
seats and all it took was a Southshore Athletic comment to light a fire under Northshore
Soft EffUHunt. 2nd set magic could
not be sustained by Pink Hat Ray and Batman in the tie breaker. Way to bail the Judge out Edward…he gets
angry when he loses. MVP of the match on
a losing team is some consolation Batman.
Chris / Hal Billy/
George 7-5, 6-3
This one looked good on paper, but since they went to an
outside court on clay, most did not get to see it. It was also pretty far away from the
Beet. Too bad too, because it looked
like some great points were played. In
the end, the contrasting styles of Kosher Kris and VonNeitzch were too much to
handle for Geritol George and Free Willy Speiss.
Burt / Bentley Addison/Ferrer 6-0, 6-4
Matching combo of the two B’s (Burt and Bentley) no match
for 7.5 Combo title holders Ferr and Ponch Melacon. Goose
egg first set had fans losing interest. Somewhat
respectable 2nd just to be nice.
I foresee a date on the court soon with Ponch to gauge just how far this
guy’s tennis game has improved.
All square between Hall of Framers and Ball Busters at the
conclusion of Round 1 with 7 lines won, with BFAM one back. Bring it opening GOOSE EGG may haunt them for awhile.
Round 2 starts Saturday with
Four doubles lines. Third set
will be a full set.
