Estenger Wins Twice Today to Play for Fourth Crown

#1 Seed and three-time defending GSC Tennis Champion Max Estenger beat John Zarcone for the second straight year in the semifinals to punch his ticket to another GSC Championship match, 6-2, 6-2. Zarcone started off strong and had a short-lived 2-1 lead in the opening set before Estenger ran up a string of 10 consecutive games winning the first set 6-2 and then taking a commanding 5-0 lead in the second before Zarcone broke the string with two games of his own. Estenger didn't play particularly well as both players battled windy conditions, but Zarcone made too many unforced errors. Still, for a part-time player, Zarcone had another excellent tournament advancing to the semis for the second straight year. Earlier in the afternoon, Estenger beat Adam Benson 6-1, 6-2, before playing Zarcone.
