Gulf Harbour had a tremendous turnout for the second stop of the
Fort Myers Ritzman Tennis USPTA Pro League this past Friday, November 2…but
that is pretty much par for the course at Gulf Harbour, a venue that always
brings the crowds. The fans were treated to a number of very competitive
matches, with 6 of the 12 matches going to a third tiebreak-set.
Babolat vs. Gateway Dental (GD)

first Pro League date at Palmira. When the action concluded that night, Gateway
Dental had picked up ground on the field, earning six (6) points to Babolat’s two
and a half (2.5).
On Court 1, Captain Shawn Hedrick and Ryan Sherry of GD out-dueled
Tyler Owens and sub Dave Rowat to win 2-6, 6-4 1-0(5). At second dubs, Anthony
Hatori flexed his shoulder muscles and carried me to another super-tiebreak win
for GD. Down 1-4 in the first set, we came back to win 7-6, 3-6, 1-0(8).

outing. Remax took the lead from Babolat by one (1) point, and the two play tomorrow
(Friday, Nov. 16). BRA moved up from fourth, into a tie for third with JM, two
(2) points behind the leader, and they play tomorrow. Tied for fifth with UG after
