Of the five Green Valley Tennis Club members in this year’s Lukoil Open, Anthony Pozzi had a bye in the first and then won his second round match and is still in the hunt.

Jim Lewis won his first round easily, and then put in a strong showing in a los to the number one seed Punch Maleka, a former No. 619 world-ranked player.

I pushed my match to a third set, where we played a 10-point super tiebreaker, with a final score of 6-2, 4-6, 10-6 in favor of my opponent Samuel Sherrill.  Marc Oberholtzer and Marcelo Pascale also fell short in their first round efforts.

Pascale’s pre-tournament predictions were on the money, and he may have a career in Vegas if his designs on being a tennis agent don’t pan out.  Pictured below is Pascale serving during his Lukoil Open match.
