CCS TENNIS
Palo Alto juniors win title
Liu and Marti win section doubles crown, first in school history
I
t has been a tough season for the Palo Alto girls’ tennis team, which began the year as a potential contender for CCS team honors but failed to even qualify for the tournament. On Tuesday, Palo Alto juniors Janet Liu and Emma Marti helped make up for some of that disappointment by becoming the first girls’ doubles team in program history to win a Central Coast Section title. Liu and Marti came in as the topseeded team after losing the title their freshman year in 2007. They captured the title at the Courtside Club in Los Gatos with a 6-3, 6-2
victory over sisters Melissa and Ruri Kobayakawa of Monta Vista. Liu and Marti advanced to the finals earlier in the day with a hardfought 6-3, 3-6, 6-0 victory over freshman Mary Closs and junior Angela Pratt of St. Francis. The only other local player to advance in the CCS Individiual Tournament was Menlo freshman Gianinna Ong. She played in singles, winning her first-round match, 6-4, 6-3, over Logan Finnell of R.L. Stevenson. Ong, however, lost to Milpitas senior Katie Le in the second round, 6-1, 6-1. Le went on to win the singles title over St. Francis senior Kelly Chui, 7-5, 7-5. â–
