Gallo's 3.5 Begins With An Ace!

OK. Here's how it went our first week out of the blocks: First Singles got on first about 9:10 pm. Jeff Roberts, playing his first year with the team was pushed into the 1st singles position after signing his contract to play 2nd Singles and doubles. Jeff at the last moment had to fill in at first singles due to a personal commitment conflict by our normally assigned player. Jeff started out strong since he knew and had played against his opponent, the tattooed Hardcore agent, Neil Sheehan. Jeff came away with a strong win of 6-1, 6-1. "At 2nd Singles Craig Simmons playing in his first USTA match ever, had a very decisive victory over his opponent, 6-1,6-0. He better had played well since his wife, Stephanie, was there tracking his games stroke by stroke. I'm sure she had some areas of improvement mapped out for him since John Wong and Craig Hall were looking over shoulder critiquing Craig's playing. But from what I saw, Craig played a great first USTA match. Congratulations Craig! "At 1st Doubles, Mike Voll (The Traveling Entrepreneur) and Mark Flash (The Cleveland Clinic Foundation guy who is going to bring $1.26B to the table) smothered their opponents by a score of 6-1,6-4. (How could you give up 4 games in one set, guys?). The Twins (Mike Cash and Mike Bornhorst) playing 2nd Doubles kept their winning ways with a stunning defeat over their opponents 6-1 and 6-2. And last but not least on Court #1 playing 3rd Doubles, Debonair Dennis Gresh (The Ladies Man: while playing there were at least three "hoodie" ladies who had played in the previous match watching Dennis and asking John Wong and myself who he was and wanting an intro. Of course it was John and I who were buying these same ladies drinks after the match. and Steady Steve Lorton (who is playing for the first time on our team and will probably be giving us all pointers on the game of tennis before the season is over....wow, what a steady player Steve is while on court!) finished "mopping up" the court with a 6-1,6-1 win, thus giving our Five Seasons #1 team a 5-0 win over River Oaks #1 team."
