Andrew Rosz Wins 2009 Top-Gun Open
Tennis Championship!

On Wednesday, March 11, 2009, finalists Andrew Rosz and Paul Newman met again for the second time as finalists in the final round of the 2009 Top Gun Open Tennis Championships in Lauderhill Florida.  As 6:30 PM approached, the chair umpire, linesmen, and spectators took their seats and the match began promptly as scheduled.  Andrew won the toss and elected to serve and easily won the first four points and the opening game.  Andrew was also quick to break Newman's serve to go up an early break.  But not to be outdone, Paul then immediately broke back to get the first set back on serve... But that was about it for Newman in the first set as Andrew won the next four games straight to take the first set 6-1.

Newman then served to open the second set and after a considerable struggle, Newman finally managed to hold his serve after having survived four break points.  But the strain of holding serve seemed to take its toll on Newman's ability to press on and Andrew quickly capitalized on the opportunity of his struggling opponent to take a commanding lead in the second set with winner after winner and blast after blast.   Not long thereafter, Andrew decisively closed out the second set and the match.  Final scores: Andrew Rosz defeats Paul Newman 6-1, 6-1.

Congratulations to both players; Andrew Rosz seeded #1 and Paul Newman seeded #2.  You both put on a great show and we all look forward to seeing you both back again next year.
