Barney Reed (of Ping Pong Playa fame) battled back from 2-0 down in the semi's against Maggie Tian, and then held off a determined Rocky Wang to win the Open Singles Event!  Rocky, who has been training hard, got past Trevor Runyan in the other Semi.  Robert Shanazari took out tournament director James Therriault in the U-2300 semi's in route to winning the event over Jeff Xiao who was playing well in reaching two finals! Our Iron Man Award goes to Nash Darukhanawala as he played non-stop, except for a quick massage from his wife, in reaching the finals in both Doubles and Singles!  All finalists are noted below:

Text Box: Congratulations to Alameda TTC player/coach Avishy Schmidt, who's been playing "great Ping Pong lately" as he likes to say, as he defeated the young and talented Mert Caglar, Auria Malek, and Trevor Runyan in the Open Final Round Robin to win the $400 1st place prize at the 2010 Sacramento Spring Open Table Tennis Tournament!  It was also nice to see a good mix of up and coming Juniors demonstrating outstanding skills and good behavior, which is a credit to the many wonderful coaches and positive parents in Northern Ca.  There were five of our youngsters who reached two finals: Jordan Yee, Jace Jackson, Aria Lee, Malcolm Darukhanawala, and Bryant Lin! And surely worth mentioning is the 10 year old phenom Shivansh Singla who knocked off the lobbing James Therriault (2246) to reach the U-2300 Final!  Thanks to all those providing support allowing everyone taking part to have good time and a full day of play win or lose!
