Mexico head coach Tony Senor report “This was a good match to help us get ready for Districts win or lose. We played District format with Doubles playing 8 Games with AD and Singles playing Best 2 out of 3 sets. This felt like a District Match and it will help when we get to the real thing in a few weeks. Brendan and Declan had a rough Doubles match but pulled out the win in Tiebreaker. Quaid Grubb played a mental tough game winning his singles match in Tiebreaker too. Declan played a total of 43 games in today’s match. He had to dig deep to pull out the win. We are looking at closing the gap to win against North Point at Districts. Our next match is home against MMA with JV taking the court on 04/17/2023.”
