Stacey Darling 9th Annual Charity Classic

Singles and mixed has begun

Saturday at the Sports Club was all tennis. I played myself today in the men's 3.5 and defeated Bob Stewart  in a close first match where I had won the first set 6-4, and then he was winning the second set 4-1. It occurred to me when he went up 4-1 that I could come back and win the third set, and when that "thought" came I knew it was a lie. This set was not over. I won the next five games. Then I went back to court 10 in "The bubble" to play  Peter Todorov for the quarterfinals. He had just defeated Eric Ross  7-5, 6-2 and was now beating me in the first set 6-2. I came back and won the second set 6-2 and was up 3-1 in the third set. Then the "Thought" occurred to me that I was going to win. I too knew that "Thought" was a lie, and I went back to be focused on the game at hand. Then he came back and tied it 3-3, then he was up 4-3, then I tied it 4-4, then he went up 5-4 with me serving next, and after a couple match points going back and forth to deuce, and after Peter over came a leg cramp that stopped play at deuce, he won the match taking the third set 6-4. Peter plays men's 3.5 for Red Rock and played  his team mate Anthony Paturzo in the semifinals Sunday morning. To get to the semifinals Anthony had a good three set match as well against David Schlatter, who lost to anthony.  Jason Zimmer, who won the men's 3.5 doubles, is in the semifinals and will play Paul Anderson Sunday. Paul won the Lorenzi tennis Classic for 3.5 just weeks ago. Meanwhile Troy Wolf beat his doubles partner James Lash, who just yesterday vowed to beat him this time. James had also played a mixed doubles match this morning. The finals are at 1:00pm Sunday.
