Shane Placek Is Double Champion at Fremont Open
Congratulations to Shane Placek, Fremont, who won the 4.0 singles division and the 4.0 doubles division at the Centre Court-KFC-Jim Johnson Ins. Fremont Adult Open played July 10-12 at the Fremont High School Tennis Complex. Shane teamed up with Rick Spalding, Fremont, to win the 4.0 doubles championship.
On his way to the championship, Shane defeated:
- Brad Miller of Omaha, 6-0, 6-0
- the No. 5 seed, Jeremy Hoshor of Lincoln, 6-1, 6-2
- the No. 1 seed, Kiran Poda of Lincoln, 6-1, 6-0
- Bob Wirth of Papillion 7-6(4), 6-3
- and the No. 2 seed, Kelby Deese of Bellevue, 6-3, 6-0
As you can see, Shane was quite stingy about giving any games away, especially in the second set. His opponents won only five games in five matches during the second sets. That’s how you win a championship! Congratulations Shane! Well played.
