Rossmoor Men’s Tennis Team Finds Stiff Competition at Blackhawk
The Rossmoor Men’s Tennis Team traveled to Blackhawk Country Club on April 7 for a makeup match, where they encountered both outstanding facilities and gracious hospitality. Blackhawk’s exceptional tennis complex provided an impressive setting for a day of spirited play.
Rossmoor faced a formidable opponent, with challenging matches across all four lines. The team secured one hard-earned victory, demonstrating resilience against strong competition.
Match Results:
Line 1: Bob Benz and Rick Sterling faced a powerful duo and were defeated, 2–6, 1–6.
Line 2: Al Peters and Richard Schulman earned Rossmoor’s lone win of the day, 6–4, 6–3.
Line 3: David Hickey and Dave Kern encountered tough opposition and fell, 1–6, 2–6.
Line 4: John Preston and Siva Sivasubramanian were defeated, 1–6, 0–6.
Post-match hospitality provided an opportunity for players to connect and share stories beyond the court. During these conversations, Rossmoor players learned about Blackhawk player, David Hsieh. An early employee at Google, Hsieh later transitioned into theater as the founding and artistic director of ReAct Theatre in Seattle which he started over thirty years ago. More recently, Hsieh has produced Broadway plays. Discussions like this greatly enrich the time the players have with each other.
