Tournament Director Chip Leveroni writes: Gloomy skies and intermittent sprinkles could not put a damper on an intimate but fiercely competitive APTA Men's PTI 10+ Championship. Just after a hard-fought, moment-shifting battle, as match point ended, the sun broke through and shone on our champions Daniel Lineberry and Jordy Visser, who defeated top-seeded lefty duo of Marshall Chapin and Josh Graves, 7-6 (4),1-6, 6-4. (Should I mention that Lineberry & Visser were serving for the match at 5-1 in the 3rd?)
These two young men do a lot to help support and grow our beloved game here on Boston’s North Shore - Congratulations!
The rest of the draws were also fiercely competitive with multiple three set matches and tiebreakers.
Semi reprieve action: Nantucket’s Cam Murphy and Cooper Veysey topped Patrick Dempsey and Kwame Patrick, 6-4, 6-1.
Consolation action: CAPT’s Jack Bishop and Joe Maher defeated the other Nantucket duo of John Brescher and Henry Fee, 3-6, 6-4, 6-4.
Consolation Reprieve action: Zack Goodstein and Nick Vance prevailed over CAPT’s own John Donnally and Justin McCabe, 4-6, 6-4, 6-2.
This was the kind of competition that we hoped for and certainly got in a PTI Championship.
We’d like to thank our lead sponsor Xenon for help on balls and favors, Conecuh brands & Kappy’s Liquors for great liquor prizes, and to all the support we got from the APTA (especially the financial support CAPT received to help build a new four-court facility under the “Grow the Game” initiative).
Wishing everyone a great holiday season with lots of paddle!
