Greenberg, Dempsey, and Constantino take NTRP Titles!
The biggest weekend in the history of Cleveland (no hyperbole) took place recently with some amazing 3.0 - and in some cases, 3.5 - tennis being played! Singles, doubles, and sometimes triples (if you counted access to the CVAC bar) took place, as some of the best of the 3.0 best plied their 3.0 trade in search of 3.0 glory, 3.0 titles, and a no-expenses paid trip to Arizona or California for the 3.0 National Championships!
So who won? Who lost? Who lost to the same people multiple times?! Check out all the results ... here!
Singles
Singles - Group Stages
Group 1
Matt d. Ron 4-0, 4-2
In Group 1, Matt started off his tournament run in style, coming out fast - which is kind of the point in Fast Four - to take an early lead over one of the most tournament tested players of the past decade in Ron, a two time Player of the Year! And while Ron was able to rally in the second - which is also kind of the point in tennis - the consistency of Matt's all-around game was able to hold on to take an early lead in Group 1.
Matt d. Travis 4-0, 4-3 (3)
Needing one win to punch his 3.0 ticket to the Winner's Bracket, Matt did just that and more in a convincing victory over one more of the most travelled 3.0 players of recent memory. Indeed, if Matt was intimidated by playing another Player of the Year, he didn't show it, as he played consistently from both sides of the court, with his forehand and backhand moving Travis back and forth to the tune of a two set victory! And not only that, this 3.0 tournament newbie extended his personal record versus Travis to an impressively undefeated 2-0! AND WAIT THERE'S MORE! He also punched his 3.0 ticket to the Winner's Bracket with his 2-0 mark!
Travis d. Ron 4-3 (3), 4-1
With both Travis and Ron needing a victory to advance to the Winner's Bracket, two of the most veteran tournament players in recent 3.0 history went at it! Indeed, Travis and Ron, the #1 and #2 ranked tournament players in 3.0 history in almost every 3.0 stat that matters (i.e., the one's that make them look good), had a fantastic first set as Ron's big serve got him on the scoreboard early! However, Travis' short balls - ahem - got the match back to even steven and, as the match wore on, these two titans of 3.0 tennis - with a combined five - five! - D.F.O. Player of the Year awards between them went tennis tit-for-tennis-tat! In the end, though, this bucket list of a match ended with Travis getting the hard earned victory and a trip to the Winner's Bracket despite Ron's impressive display of 3.0 power. The real winners, though, were obviously the fan (singular) who was able to partake in such an historic match!
Group 2
John d. Nicholas 4-3 (3), 4-2
In Group 2, John enjoyed the upset of day 1 as he held on in a closely contested back and forth first set to take the early advantage in a first set tie breaker over one of the pre-tournament favorites in Nicholas, who had won his first ever 3.0 tournament at the W.A.C. just months before. But as the match wore on, John's overall consistency countered Nicholas' well known power in a see-saw match in which neither was willing to relent (which is kind of nice considering this is a competition, after all). And while Nicholas showed the tournament toughness that earned him a title the year before, John was able to seal the 3.0 deal!
George d. Damon 4-3 (3), 4-0
Nearby, 3.0 tournament vet George found his 2021 G.O.C. trophy holding form to hold on versus hard-charging Michigander Damon in another closely contested tie-breaking first set!
Nicholas d. George 4-1, 4-0
Up 1-0, things were looking good for George. Nicholas, meanwhile, needed a win to stay in the hunt for a Winner's Bracket finish, but was facing a tournament tested 3.0 champion in George. Making this match-up all the sweeter is that this match would be a repeat of their semi-final match that went a full three sets under the blistering Uniontown sun at the G.O.C.! That time, George was able to power through the heat to earn the victory, but this time around, in the sub-arctic cold that was Chagrin, Nicholas, perhaps acclimating to the brisk conditions inside CVAC, was able to exert 3.0 tennis revenge, earning a much needed victory despite the big serves and big shots of George, meaning that both players were now 1-1 and in the Winner's Bracket hunt!
John d. Damon 4-1, 4-1
John, enjoying the first upset of the tournament, needed to keep the momentum going, but standing in his way (or at least standing 78' away) was Michigan's own Damon, who was looking to bounce back from his first match versus George and repeat Michigan's dominance in this event. John, though, was able to bounce back first, taking an early lead as he was able to focus, in part because their match being put on the courts of the CVAC annex, away from any kind of distraction and where the temperature was slightly warmer than zero degrees. Alas, John's now well-known consistency and his sweet, sweet one-handed backhand rallied (which is a tennis thing, after all), and getting nearly every ball back, he was able to not only thwart Damon's comeback, but take the match as well, putting him in a commanding, but not yet clinching, 2-0 lead in his group!
Nicholas d. Damon 4-3 (1), 4-1
Nicholas went into Saturday's match with a 1-1 mark but knew he needed a victory - and some help - to advance to the Winner's Bracket. Damon, meanwhile, was looking to play spoiler and revisit the Michigan versus O-H-I-O rivalry, and came out strong in the first set, relinquishing nary a point with his all around 3.0 athleticism! Nicholas, though, summoned the mental fortitude that carried him to his 2021 W.A.C. title, and was able to hold off the hard-charging Damon in a first set tie-break before controlling the second set with his blistering power! And with that, Nicholas had put himself in position to head to the Winner's Bracket, but he had to nervously await the results of the next match before it was signed, sealed, and delivered!
George d. John 4-3 (4), 4-2
Right after the aforementioned match, the hard hitting George and the consistent John went at it, with George knowing he needed a win to advance while John knew that even with his 2-0 record, a loss here might ruin his chances due to a long list of tie-breakers that no one actually knew existed (which is good, because had anyone known they had existed, the match may have gone differently, for as it turns out, due to tie-breakers, John had already automatically advanced while Nicholas had as well; BUT AT THE TIME NO ONE KNEW!; that's 3.0 tennis for you)! George came out swinging (a valuable tennis skill) and was able to hold off John's consistency with a barrage of shots that kept his opponent on the move and on the defensive. And when it was all said and done, George was able to walk off the court with a hard-fought win that may not have gotten him to the Winner's Bracket, but it did get him to the Winner's Bracket of every 3.0 fan's heart!
Group 3
Mark d. Brandon 4-0, 4-1
The opening match of Group 3 saw 3.0 newbie Mark take on two-time NTRP participant Brandon in a match that saw the new 3.0 kid on the block make a 3.0 statement with a strong opening performance on one of the biggest 3.0 stages of the year! Mark's all-court ability versus Brandon's hard hitting style was a show for all to see and showed that Group 3 was going to be a tight one!
Scott d. Tony 4-2, 3-4 (3), 4-2
Group 3 continued to shine and indeed hosted the barn-burner match of the day on Friday (which is good because it was flipping freezing all weekend long)! Scott took on N.W.O.'s reigning champion Tony as these two went back-and-forth in a 3.0 display in which there were no losers! Although, Scott was the winner. So ... yeah. Sorry Tony.
Brandon d. Scott 4-1, 4-3 (3)
Scott immediately (sort of ... if a three hour turnaround is considered "immediate") then faced off versus the blistering forehand of Brandon, and Brandon immediately got his 3.0 tennis mojo back as, with his serve on fire (which would have been nice considering how cold CVAC was all weekend) and his forehand en fuego (which also would have been nice), he took early control of the match. Scott, though, who has faced Brandon in the past at the 2021 W.A.C. championships, fought back (metaphorically) and pushed the second set to a tie-breaker. But in the pressure packed tie-breaker, Brandon's power proved impressive, and with the win, put himself in the running for Winner's Bracket advancement!
Mark d. Tony 2-4, 4-3(2), 4-2
The end of day one saw Mark try to extend his winning streak while Tony looked to take the momentum of his first match into his second match. Initially, that was the case, as Tony came out strong, showing N.E.O. exactly the kind of tennis N.W.O. is known for! But at a crucial moment of the second set, newbie Mark was able to find his game, holding on to take the tie-break before pushing forward to take the third and final set as well!
Scott d. Mark 4-3(2), 4-3(3)
Saturday saw three of the four members of Group 3 still in the running for Winner's Bracket status as Scott and Mark faced off on the plush courts of CVAC! With the win, Mark, 2-0, would make his way to the Championship round. But in his was was Scott, who needed the win to keep his 3.0 Championship Bracket hopes alive. Thus, with both knowing what was at stake, neither relented, and both brought their "A" game to the competition, pushing both sets to a tie-break! And in both tie-breaks, both gave as good as they got, but Scott was able to give juuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuust a bit more, giving himself two tight, tight, tight tie-break wins!
Brandon d. Tony 4-0, 4-3(2)
Thus, it all came down to the final match of Group 3! Win and in for Brandon, but he'd have to get past the N.W.O. N.T.R.P. Champion (so many initials!). Focused, Brandon came out strong, winning the first set in convincing fashion. But Tony, looking to represent the N.W.O. Dojo with Toledo-based pride, would not be denied, and for the third time this tournament pushed a set to a deciding tie-break! With Brandon's title hopes on the line, he re-focused and with laser-like precision, pummeled his way to a two-set victory, thus cementing his status as Winner's Bracket material!
Playoff Stage - Consolation Bracket
Tony d. Damon 4-1, 4-3(2)
As the #3 and #4 seeds in the Consolation Bracket, Tony and Damon faced off, which was kind of nice as both were, geographically anyway, pretty close to one another. Toledo's Tony showed his overall consistency, coming out strong and returning all of Michiganander Damon's shots to win the first set, but Damon, a proud Michigander through and through, answered back in the second set, pushing yet another one of his sets to a deciding tie-break! In the tie-break, though, Tony got the bad tie-break luck off of his back, winning his first tie-break of the tourney and thus winning his first match of the tourney! Damon, meanwhile, could proudly return to Michigan, knowing he had given as good as he got all tournament long!
Tony d. George 4-3(4), 3-4(4), 4-3(2)
In the closest match of the event - and possibly in the history of 3.0 tennis - Tony and #1 seed George went literally back-and-forth, point after point, set after set, tie-break after tie-break. Indeed, Tony played in his seventh tie-break of the tourney, showing amazing longevity and endurance, and when all was said and done only one - one! - point separated these two titans of the 3.0 singles courts! And though George fell in the semi's, he showed that he'll be a 3.0 force to be reckoned with this season, as his huge serve and all-around game enjoyed a fantastic 2-2 mark during his tournament run!
Ron d. Mark 4-3(3), 0-4, 4-3(4)
On the other side of the bracket - and at possibly the exact same time! - tough-luck Group 3 finisher Mark, who finished 2-1, took on one of the greatest 3.0 players of the past decade in Ron. Ron's experience paid immediate dividends as he was able to take advantage of Mark's first-time ever semi-final play. Mark, though, warmed up (which is pretty impressive considering it was something like 3 degrees in the facility all weekend long), and found both his offensive and defensive game in the second, thus tying the match up at one set apiece! In the third, though, the tournament experience of one of the most tournament experienced players of all 3.0 time paid off, and in an extra-innings slug-fest, Ron once again emerged victorious! Mark, though, had nothing to be ashamed of, as he had taken one of the greatest of the 3.0 greats to brink! And speaking of 3.0 greats, Ron had earned his third career Consolation Championship! Well done, gentlemen!
Consolation Championship
Ron d. Tony 4-3(3), 3-4(4), 4-3(1)
Ron, a two-time Consolation Champion, knew he was around the Consolation Champion courts (mostly because they're exactly like the regular courts), and brought a vast amount of 3.0 tournament experience to the hard courts of CVAC. Tony, meanwhile, while lacking the experience of his 3.0 foe, had won the most recent 3.0 singles title when he emerged victorious in the N.W.O. section just weeks prior! The opening set showed exactly what the fans were in for, as Ton and Tony went back and forth with Ron's tournament experience winning the day in yet another set tie-break! Tony, no stranger to set tie-breaks, wouldn't give in though, and used his tie-break experience - 10 tie-breaking sets in all this tournament alone! - to even the score after the second set. The third was more of the same, as Ron's power took on Tony's defense, but neither could gain the advantage! Once again the set ended in a virtual (or actual) tie, once again necessitating YET ANOTHER TIE-BREAK! Ron's experience, combined with Tony's exhaustion, proved the difference, and at the end of yet another long, long match, it was Ron who would leave the day with his third career Consolation title! Tony, too, was a champion, the people's champion, as his never-give-in attitude showed he'd be a 3.0 force to be reckon with in the year(s) to come!
Playoff Stage - Championship Bracket
Quarterfinals
John d. Scott 4-1, 4-2
The consistency of John, the #3 seed, took on the consistency of Scott, the #4 seed, in the opening match quarterfinal of the Winner's Bracket that was consistently ... fantastic! In the end, Scott's well-known consistency was simply too consistent, and his ability to consistently keep the ball in play led to him consistently winning point after point, which, if you do that enough, might lead to consistently winning games and then consistently winning sets. Which John did! Scott, though his tournament was now at an end, enjoyed a fine 2-2 mark during his first ever NTRP tournament run!
Travis d. Brandon 4-1, 1-4, 4-1
The #5 and #6 seeds, Travis and Brandon, offered a contrast in styles, as the former was a renowned pusher while Brandon was actually a good tennis player with legit strokes. The match started in Travis' favor, though, as it took Brandon a set to figure out his opponents' said "style." Once he did, though, the second set was all him as his serve came alive and his blistering forehand hit passing shot after passing shot to even the match at 1-1. In the third and final set in what could have been Travis' final ever 3.0 match, Travis reverted back to the style of tennis that he started playing years ago, slicing and dicing and lobbing as much as possible, trying anything he could to get the yellow fuzzy ball out of Brandon's wheel-house. Brandon, used to playing actually tennis, was briefly thrown off his game, but in Fast Four, that's all it takes, and just like that, Travis somehow entered the semi-finals playing ugly while Brandon could take solace in playing actual grown up and adult tennis!
Semi-Finals
Matt d. John 4-2, 3-4(4), 4-1
In what turned out to be the match of the Championship Bracket, #1 seed Matt took on the #3 seed in John in an all-out consistency-fest. That is, John, by now well-known for his knack to get almost every single ball back, took on Matt, who had shown that same ability in his previous two matches. Not surprisingly, this one went on and on and ... on. AND ON! IT WOULD NEVER END! Matt's consistent forehand versus John's consistent one-handed backhand ... John's consistent backcourt play versus Matt's consistent backcourt play ... Matt's consistent serves versus John's consistent serves. SO MUCH CONSISTENCY! In a match that went on almost a full 90', which is crazy impressive considering the format, these two warriors of the 3.0 courts put on the most impressive display of actual tennis this bracket would see! In the end, Matt's consistency was just that much more consistent than John's consistency, helping Matt enter his first ever 3.0 tournament final!
Travis d. Nicholas 4-1, 4-1
On the other side of the bracket noted serve and volleyer (i.e., pusher) Travis, the #5 seed, took on hard-hitting Nicholas, the #2 seed, in match that illustrated yet again a stark contrast in styles. Indeed, it became clear early on that Travis couldn't hang from the baseline versus one of the best forehands in the tournament, meaning he'd have to resort of a mixture of slice, dice, and pretty much anything necessary to stay out of Nicholas' target zone if he were going to stay in the match. And stay out of that target zone he did! Utilizing every Brad Gilbert trick in the book (which is actually a book), Travis was able to keep the much more skilled Nicholas on his heels and, to the surprise of everyone in existence, emerge victorious in an ugly semi-final victory (somewhere, Brad Gilbert was smiling, although everyone else was probably grimacing).
3rd Place Match
John d. Nicholas 4-3(4), 2-4, 4-2
In the all important runner-up to the Vice-Champion match, in which the winner would most likely get a ticket to the NTRP National Championships (which is actually a thing), the consistent John matched up for the second time in the event against the powerful Nicholas. And almost exactly like their first match, the two went back-and-forth with John taking the early lead, albeit in a first set tie-breaker ... WHICH WAS EXACTLY LIKE THEIR FIRST MATCH! Nicholas, though, went off script in the second set and regained his form to tie up the match at 1-1 with a series of powerful strokes that even the all-court skills of John were unable to return. In the third, it was anyone's game ... and point ... and set! Ultimately, consistency won out over power and John was able to hoist the invisible 3rd Place non-existent trophy high above his well coifed head! In the end, though, the real winners were those who were able to witness one of the best 3.0 matches of the entire weekend, a match so good that John and Nicholas soon decided to join forces and tag-team doubles at the upcoming Towpath event!
Championship
Matt d. Travis 4-2, 4-0
The finals would see a repeat of the Group 1 match between #1 seed Matt and #5 seed Travis in which the former used his consistency on all sides to blank one of the most well-travelled 3.0 tournament players of the last half decade. Travis, remembering his first set bagel versus Matt, came out strong, taking an early 2-1 lead and looking in control by keeping his opponent pinned to the baseline with a series of loopy shoots that were almost as speedy as a small toddler sprinting across a room. Almost. Matt, though, the intelligent player he is, quickly realized that Travis' shots had zero pace, and soon started attacking the net, thus turning the 3.0 tables and putting Travis on the defensive. Unable to move Matt around from the baseline now that Matt was attacking and now with his serve and volley game neutralized, Travis' final attempt at 3.0 glory quickly melted away (which is an ironic metaphor considering how freezing cold it was inside CVAC). Down a set and 0-3, Travis went out the way he came into the world, with a wooden racquet in hand and bagel in the other. Matt, meanwhile, wrapped up his fantastic tournament run with an ace to cement his place in 3.0 history!
Doubles - Round 1
Quarterfinals - Friday
Scott/John d. James/Chao 4-2, 4-1
Consistency was the name of this game as locals Scott and John were able to utilize their knowledge of the relative home courts to keep the Illinois duo of James and Chao on the defensive the entire match, earning a win to get their tournament dreams started!
Douglas/Steve d. Nicholas/Mark 4-0, 4-1
On Court 1 for obvious reasons, #1 seeds Douglas and Steve brought vast amounts of doubles experience and NTRP experience to the event. Indeed, Douglas and Steve, who who won this event just a few years ago and then took runner-up in their division in the 2020 18+ National event, used their court knowledge, their tournament experience, and their well-known post-match hydration techniques to get yet another tag team win!
Timothy/Matthew d. Craig/John 4-2, 3-4(3), 4-2
In the upset of the tournament, veteran Timothy and newbie Mathew not only held tough with the #1 seed (yes, that's right ... there were two #1 seeds ... because Craig and John are just that good!), but took the first set to show they had come to play (which is nice, considering it would have been odd had they come to, well, not play). Craig and John though, the most experienced tandem in the event, weren't going to go down without a 3.0 battle ... and battle they did! Coming back in the second, the duo tied the match up, but Timothy, one of North Canton's finest, and one who had been personally coached and groomed by the Great Benjamin Young for many a season, found the tactical know-how necessary to not only recover in the third, but pull the biggest upset of the entire bracket as well!
Scott/Travis d. Wayne/Jay 4-0, 0-4, 4-1
In a true momentum-swinging match, newbie dubs players Scott and Travis tried to keep their Nationals undefeated streak (1-0!) maintained as they took on Michigan's finest, Wayne and Jay. Indeed, in a strange quirk of fate, Wayne and Jay had played the very Michigan team that Scott and Travis had played in the Midwest playoffs, showing just how small the 3.0 tennis world really is! ALMOST AS SMALL AS THEIR RATINGS! Speaking of teams, Scott and Travis' crowd-favorite intergalactic pride polo's no doubt showed they were a team, but also put their opponents on edge, and the Ohio duo easily won the first set to take an early lead. But as soon as you could say, "hey, your polo is ... yikes..." Wayne and Jay regained the momentum and turned around and bageled their opponents! WHOA. SO MUCH BAGELING! In the third and final set, however, Scott and Travis readjusted their garish polo's and, blinding Wayne and Jay, were able to pull out the improbable first round!
Consolation Bracket - Saturday
Nicholas/Mark d. James/Wang 4-0, 4-1
Nicholas and Mark bounced back from their tough first round loss with a resounding second round victory, using Mark's all-court skills and Nicholas' irresistible power to jump out to an early and commanding lead that helped them enter the Consolation Finals!
Craig/John d. Wayne/Jay 4-2, 1-4, 4-2
In yet another barn-burning three-set nail-biter, both Craig and John and Wayne and Jay gave the assembled crowds (and there was actually more than one person watching which around these parts counts as a crowd - nay! - A MOB!) a treat as both traded momentum, and sets, in a back and forth match of skilled doubles tennis! The two teams, with communication skills off the charts, played to their strengths, Craig and John playing amazing at the net while Wayne and Jay worked to extend each point from the back. In the end, home cooking no doubt helped make a difference, as Craig and John were able to etch out a close, close victory, not just for themselves, but for all of Ohio as well!
Championship Bracket - Saturday
Douglas/Steve d. Scott/John 4-2, 4-0
In the semi-finals the unthinkable happened - top seeds Douglas and John were moved from the show court, Court 1, to the CVAC Annex, Court 9. Not only did this deprive the viewing public of some amazing 3.0 doubles play but it ANGERED Douglas and Steve so much that they decided to politely play even better than before. Scott and John, who had enjoyed a fantastic round one win, could only tip their 3.0 tennis hat to the skill and deft hands of one of the best 3.0 doubles teams of all-time!
Timothy/Matthew d. Scott/Travis 4-0, 4-0
Perhaps inspired by Douglas and Steve's performance, Timothy and Matthew put on an even more impressive performance that simply intimidated their opponents into 3.0 oblivion! Indeed, highlights included Timothy and Matthew forcing Scott and Travis into multiple double faults, several whiffs on potential overhead smashes, and at least on one occasion, trying to hit the ceiling of the CVAC facility rather than the other side of the court. Intimidation indeed!
Consolation Brackets - Saturday and Sunday
Wayne/Jay d. James/Chao 4-0, 4-0
As both out-of-state teams looked to wrap up their tournament play, it was a classic state versus state rivalry, this time Michigan versus Illinois ... to be played out in Ohio. WHOA! In the end, Michigan won bragging rights as Wayne and Jay used their "State up North" skills to earn tournament victory numero dos!
Scott/John d. Scott/Travis 1-4, 4-2, 4-1
In the 3rd Place match, it was a contest between two Scott's! Their partners, Travis and John, had already played five singles matches between them, with John in the lead with his third match of the day! Knowing that John was tiring, Scott and Travis tried to take advantage of their no doubt exhausted opponent, and did so to the tune of an early lead in the match with a commanding first set performance. Their command, though, soon slipped as John quite literally rallied! With Scott finding his forehand, the duo surprised their opponents with a fantastically clinical second set win. Shell-shocked, Scott and Travis never recovered, and though they tried to harness the power of their matching intergalactic pride polos, they simply were unable to overcome the tenacity of their much more classily attired opposition!
Championship Match - Sunday
Douglas/Steve d. Timothy/Matthew 4-0, 4-0
The championship match witnessed two contrasts as both teams proudly marched upon Court 1 (that's right, Douglas and Steve were back where they belonged!). The tournament favorites, Douglas and Steve, who had only dropped three games in their two matches all tournament long, had experience and pedigree (and a tab at the bar) on their side. Timothy and Matthew, on the other hand, had momentum on their side, as they had just scored a double-bagel to make their way to their first ever tournament final. In the end, though, perhaps that small piece of information - that it was their first tournament final ever - proved to be the difference maker, for standing 78' away from these finalist newbies were one of the most experienced NTRP teams in Midwest NTRP history! With Steve's court coverage at the back and Douglas' net play at the front, the two smothered the court with an amazing display of 3.0 tennis that just wowed the crowds (as they were on Court 1, we can honestly say there was a crowd!). In the end, Timothy and Matthew could only tip their 3.0 caps to their opponents, but could take solace in the fact they had enjoyed their first ever Vice-Championship and had punched their ticket to Arizona and Nationals in their first ever tournament together! Meanwhile Douglas and Steve won their second straight Midwest NTRP doubles tournament in a row, both in 18+ and now in 40+ ... meaning ... WATCH OUT 60+! Douglas and Steve are coming for you!
