PRO SINGLES
by Albert Apuzzi
The response was so good that the number of entries had to be
capped, and shortened matches used for the rounds of 32 & 16 in
order for play to be completed in the time allotted by the facility. Cesar Sala held off youngster Tyree Bastidas 25-18 to win this year's HES Singles final.

| Healy waits for a backwall shot in the final against Lenning. |
FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif. - Tony Healy said “Today is what I’ve dreamed about since I started coming to the states for the juniors,” after winning the Simple Green US Open final over Sean Lenning. “And, I have Bruce FaBrizio and the Alvarado family to thank for running tournaments like this.”Healy’s precision play kept Sean Lenning’s blasts under control just enough to win the tiebreaker in a fabulous display of control. “I wanted to keep him out of the center and it was just enough,” Healy explained.
Marcos Chavez and Vince Munoz won their third consecutive doubles title, splitting $15,000 between them for their impressive effort rallying to win the second games of both the semis and finals. “I just wanted to stay consistent,” said Marcos as the tight second games.
Lisa Gilmore was on top of her game in the first game of the women’s final but knew it wouldn’t be that easy all the way after the 21-9 first game. “Whenever we play, it’s almost always 11-8 or 9,” Lisa said after rallying from an 8-3 deficit in the tiebreaker.
The Naty Alavarado Ameteur events featured the great prizes and super Simple Green Hospitality. That brought out 230 players for great competition in all divisions.
Thanks to the WPH for webcasting the play on the exhibition court, taking the action from the most lucrative event of the year to around the globe.
