The shot of the week! Raul Felix gets set to take a shot off the back wall against Benny Young.

Raul misjudges the ball but makes a great between-the-legs save.

USHA Hall of Fame, Tucson Racquet Club            

Luis Moreno started fast and raced to a 13-0 lead over Sean Lenning before the tide turned.  It wasn’t a slow start by Lenning but a perfect half-game by Moreno.  Rifling kills and aces, Moreno was unstoppable.  Bringing out his power game, Lenning started to move Moreno around and reversed the trend but not in time for the first game.  The more experienced Lenning managed 14 in the first and then took the next two games, 21-8, 11-4. 

That wasn’t the only final tiebreaker but it was the most entertaining as both players thrilled the fans with phenomenal gets and off-balance shots. 

Youth won out in the A singles as Raul Felix defeated Benny Young in two 21-19 games.
