NSRC Men’s 4.5 Champions

You never want to see defaults in the finals since every team works so hard to get into the finals but sometimes life’s demands pull you away from the tennis court and all you can do is hope that the people you have available to play can pull out a miracle.  The Racquet Club of Lake Bluff brought a strong team to College Park but had to default court 5 and 6 which meant they were already down 0-2 going into the matches.  On court 1, RCLB’s Enouch Leung and Peter Krizman had a tough win over NSRC’s Bob Barnett and Danny Resnick losing the 1st set in a tie-breaker but eventually winning 6-7, 6-3, 7-5.  On court 2, RCLB’s Quentin Doux and Nick Andres didn’t hold back against NSRC’s Rich Siegel and Gary Gerstman and won 6-2, 6-4.  On court 3, NSRC’s Garrett Nesbitt and Clay Mclaughlin won the 1st set 6-2, and did not complete the 2nd set.  RCLB’s John Bucin and Jared Suttles was up 4-3 in the 2nd set.  On court 4, NSRC’s Mark Sack and Mike Brual  won against RCLB’s Mike Friedman and Dan Bruch 6-2, 6-1.  North Shore would have won in sets even if court 3’s match went to RC Lake Bluff so RCLB conceded the match.  Brett Morse-Karzen added a little flair to the picture they sent me above.
