Men's Crow Canyon Match

10 Jun 2026 9:44 AM | Roger Emanuel (Administrator)

Rossmoor Men’s Tennis Team Falls to Bay Crow Canyon

Five teams from the Rossmoor Tennis Club Men’s Division traveled to Bay Crow Canyon on May 27 for a Senior Men's Interleague (SMIL) return match. After sweeping all five lines in February, Rossmoor faced much tougher competition this time and managed to come away with one victory.

Match results:

Line 1: Chris Slee and Al Peters faced strong opponents and were defeated, 2-6, 2-6.

Line 2: Aric Ludwig and Richard Schulman played a competitive first set before falling in straight sets, 5-7, 1-6.

Line 3: Irwin Cohen and Rick Sterling dropped the first three games but completely turned the match around, rallying for a convincing 6-4, 6-2 victory.

Line 4: John Corwin and Roger Emanuel teamed up together for the first time and lost, 2-6, 2-6.

Line 5: Tim Walker and Jerry Quinlan encountered stiff competition and went down, 3-6, 2-6.

While the results favored Crow Canyon, the match once again highlighted the lighthearted atmosphere, camaraderie, and sportsmanship shared by both clubs. Players enjoyed a wide assortment of snacks and refreshments afterward on the beautiful Crow Canyon grounds.

Following the match, several players shared key words and phrases they use to stay focused during competition. One of Rick Sterling’s favorites is “beat the bounce." When receiving a serve, quickly decide to stay, move left, or move right. Start and possibly complete the move before the serve bounces in the service box.  Irwin Cohen's mantra is "see the ball".
