Men's Tennis Team: Triple Tiebreak Triumph

Finally the rain let up enough for the Men's Tennis team to have a match on January 17th, against the Moraga Country Club Men's team.  The prior two matches had to be cancelled twice each, due to rain on Wednesdays.  Although it had rained the night before this match, the Men's team came out early to get the courts ready in time for this match.

Rossmoor Men prevailed over Moraga in all 3 lines.  One of Moraga's teams decided not to play because the courts were still a little damp and those players were fearful of falling and getting hurt. 

Line 1 was Frank Haswell and David Besenfelder.  That team prevailed 6/4, 3/6 and 10/7 in a 3rd set 10 point tiebreaker.  This was the longest match of the day.

Playing at Line 2 Bernie Wolf and Al Peters also won in a 3rd set tiebreaker: 2/6, 6/0 and 10/4.

Line 3 was Bert Sebilia and Marc Parham who also won in 3 sets: 7/5, 1/6 and 10/7.  Third set tiebreakers were the feature of the day!

Fortunately, no one got hurt due to the courts being still wet in places. After the matches ended players enjoyed soft drinks, beer and snacks and a chance to visit.  The team was happy to finally get a match completed and come away victorious.
