BY eliminates AJ 6-4, 6-2!

Harmon Park, 09/19/08- As the last days of summer slowly slip away - BY and AJ take advantage of almost perfect weather conditions to play their match. AJ was very optimistic, perhaps even cocky - when he first learned of the our annual tournament. What he didn't realise at the time, was the level of competition he would encounter. Now in his 5th year as a TowerTennis competitor - BY was ready for the young man from Texas!

BY probably has one of the fastest serves ever recorded in a TowerTennis event, but historically low percentages. Today BY took a little heat off, and the results were remarkable! BY's first serve hit with the accuracy of a smart-bomb, bringing with it the sting of a stinger missile. AJ was frequently lucky to get a racket on the ball. When he did, the return was defensive in nature - giving BY a chance for a kill. In fact both players demonstrated wicked first serves, but their follow-up kill-shots proved ineffective a majority of the time. BY appeared to have greater directional control, running AJ around the court, and forcing him back with well executed lobs. BY had AJ down 5-1 in the first set, but couldn't seem to put him away! BY held 5 set-points against AJ before finally closing set number one. In the second - BY jumped to an early lead of 3-0 before AJ got on the board. BY takes 2 more before AJ can score again, and finds himself with an almost insurmountable advantage up one set and leading 5-2 in the second. BY closes AJ out winning 6-4, 6-2.
