Super Tennis-Tuesday concludes four matches!

On a perfect day for tennis the rackets were out in force!  Not only were four 1st-round matches completed, but Andrew from HyVee Fitness, MM, JG, and SV all got to practice as well!  The first match of the morning was a three-setter between KI and RM.  Although this is RM's first year playing in the tournament, he took the more experienced KI to three, before KI's court-smarts prevailed: 6-2,4-6,6-2.

In last year's tournament TJ (changed from TR) surprised everyone with close victories over many unexpected opponents.  TJ didn't lose a match until he faced the eventual champ in the east final.  This year starts out with yet another close match, but this time TJ faced Schewe!  Recovered from a recent hand injury - Schewe takes the tie-breaker in the first 7-6(7-3), then edges a victory in the second 6-4!

Looking for redemption from a close three-setter last year - AS was looking to even the score, but a much improved DH shuts him down in straight sets!  DH easily wins 6-2,6-2.



In the final match of Super Tennis-Tuesday the Dynasty Champ faced off with his nemesis - the reigning champ himself... Sopcic!  JT was looking for payback, but the defending champ is determined to achieve yet another title!  JT has the strokes which carried him to an unprecedented four titles, but the patient champ bides his time well - striking like a viper when his opponent is out of position.  The defending champ shuts JT down 6-1,6-4!
