Tiger Tennis Falls to Appomattox Raiders

Assistant AD

The Tigers welcomed the Appomattox Raiders to the Landon Tennis Center with several long singles matches. Playing 8-game pro-sets, several matches went to 14 games before being decided. Emerging from singles play, the wins at the bottom of the ladder gave the Tigers a team score of 4-2 and left the match outcome in the hands of the doubles teams. The number 2 and 3 doubles teams made similar runs to keeping their opponents on the courts for almost the maximum number of games until finally succumbing.
