Upset of the Year!

Harmon Park 04-05-05. SV dispatches TowerTennis Champion JT in three sets. JT's first challenge of the year proved one to remember. Never before has JT ever lost a singles match. Now he has, and SV gets bragging rights for eternity. Winter rust was quite evident during the first set. JT couldn't get a first serve in for a prayer. SV took advantage, and easily took the first set 6-2. Mortified by these events, JT's serve started to hit, putting SV on the defense during the second set. JT wins the second set 6-3. Tied one set all SV goes up 3-0 in the third, and all of the sudden an upset was a real possibility. SV's first serve starts to strike, and JT finds himself down 5-0 in the third. JT rallied to win the the next three games, but couldn't dig himself out of the hole he found himself in. With TJ and DR providing moral support, SV wins one more game, and with it the set and the match. All present (Except JT) were overjoyed as the reality of witnessing history set in. DR remarked that he never would have believed it, had he not seen it with his own eyes. SV was especially pleased! Photos taken by TJ
