Three-time defending champion Max Estenger serving in last year's Championship Match
Estenger receiving winner's trophy in '09 from Yousaf KhanAs it stands now, the seedings for the 2010 tournament are looking something like this:
1. Max Estenger--three-time defending champion and improving every year
2. Segundo Paredes--two-time runner up, '09 semifinalist; the heart of a champion if not the skills
3. John Zarcone--a semifinalist in '09; will trying to win it for his new baby girl inspire him?
4. Yousaf Khan--a tennis fanatic and junior EBT student who has played more tennis than anyone else these past 12 months. He could be the man to beat by June.
5. Corey McFarlane--a superb athlete trying to translate those skills into tennis success
Then there is the rest of the field: Aponte, Moccia-Field, Desai, Weber, McAndrews, Kollerer, Benson, Rodriguez, Lee, and Carmona. Who has improved? Will last year's 2009 runner-up Jose Carballido return from Colombia to play in June? What about the presence of Phys Ed teacher Joe Marini's new found passion for tennis? Perhaps there is some ex-college tennis player lurking inside GSC who we don't know about....
