2019 Season at a Glance

2018 Season at a Glance

May 11 @ Aliso Niguel (2nd Round CIF Playoff): Royal 4 - Aliso 14.  There doubles really outmatched our doubles teams today winning 8 of 9 sets.  We were able to take 3 sets in singles, but in the end we were just not as good as we thought we were.  We know now what we need to work on and improve for next year.

May 9 vs. Torrance (1st Round CIF Playoff): Royal 10 - Torrance 8.  Great job from our doubles teams today who carried us with 7 of our 10 sets won.  Blake and Matthew swept their sets 3,2 and 1.  Peyton Coe won his first set 6-4 which turned out to be a big set won seeing the other singles players did not beat their #2 player.  Great job on advancing to the 2nd round.

April 26 at Moorpark: Royal 17 - Moorpark 1. Varsity starters played the first 2 rounds and in 12 sets of play only dropped a combined 7 games.  JV players came in for the 3rd round with the exception of Peyton and JV players won 5 of 6 sets.  We enjoyed In-N-Out after to celebrate a fun and successful season.  We won 2nd place in league and varsity players will be getting their first experience of CIF play later in May.  

April 24 vs. Oak Park:  Royal 7 - Oak Park 11.  Even though Oak Park brought their "B" team their singles were too much for my young singles players.  Doubles took 5 sets and Kevin D. won 2 of 3 sets.  Oak Park is a good, solid, deep team and we competed well today.  JV lost 2-3 as well.

April 19 vs. Rio Mesa:  Royal 12 - Rio Mesa 6.  It was nice to have a competitive non league match right near the end of our season to help us keep sharp.  Doubles did amazing today winning 8 of 9 sets.  Griffin Stibor and Matthew Mackenzie are playing their best tennis this year and swept all three sets as well as Zac Gwennap and Ryan Kimmel at the #3 doubles slot.  Good win today.

April 17 vs. Simi: Royal 10 - Simi 8. Another close match, but not as close as our last bout with the Pioneers. We had a good chance at sweeping singles today as we moved Tristan Tausch back to singles, but he lost two tight sets 4-6 and 6-7, Peyton Coe also dropped two sets in which he had multiple set points in both sets.  We have to figure out how to win these close sets.  We did win 5 sets in singles which was 2 better than last time around.  Kevin swept his sets 1-0-0 and we had solid doubles play from Matthew Mackenzie and Griffin Stibor and Ryan Kimmel and Zac Gwennap both won 2 of 3 sets.  Had a few things gone our way we could of won 14-4, but a win is a win and it clinches a 2nd place finish in league.  JV lost 1-4 with the lone victory going to Wayne Li and Justin Hibbits.

April 12 vs. Camarillo: Royal 9 (71) - Camarillo 9 (64). Another match without number one player Kevin and another match we tied and squeaked out a victory.  The Scorps were stronger in singles play this time around winning 6 of 9 sets and we played better in doubles this time winning more games than we did last time we face Camarillo.  A good all around win.  JV had 2 sets played today and both were victorious.

April 10 vs. Moorpark: Royal 16 - Moorpark 2.  Good opportunity to have everyone play a varsity set today.  The Varsity starters dominated play and we were able to get all JV players in to play at least one set.  Moorpark did not field a JV team.

March 29 @ Oak Park:  Royal 3 - Oak Park 15.  The top ranked Eagles proved their league dominance today and took it to us as we suffered our first defeat of the season.  The JV team fared well though winning 4-1.

March 28 @ Simi: Royal 9 (80) - Simi 9 (79).  It doesn't get any tighter than this!!  Being down 9-8 in sets and the last set we are down 0-4 and doubles team of Griffin Stibor and Matthew Mackenzie come back and win the next 6 games and the set to put us in a tie and a position to count games and in the end we squeaked out a victory!  Royal's first win against our cross-town rival in more than a decade.  JV however did not fare as well as they lost 1-4 with the lone set win coming from Brandon Hoang and Marcus Neskvern.

March 20 @ Camarillo: Royal 12 - Camarillo 6. It was nice having Kevin play again with us and he swept his three sets 0-2-0 and Peyton won 2 of 3 sets along with all three doubles team.  Mighty Matt and Blake dropped their first set of the season though.  JV won all three sets that they played as well.

March 15 @ Saugus:  Royal 12 - Saugus 6.  Good balance today as singles won 5 sets and doubles took 7 sets.  Blake and Matthew are still undefeated on the season.  No JV played today.

March 8 vs. Pacifica:  Royal 13 - Pacifica 5. We again played without number 1 player Kevin and we dropped 3 sets in singles.  The number 1 doubles team of Matthew Girard and Blake Cole still remain undefeated on the season as they again swept all three sets.  All of the JV teams were able to play today and all 5 courts won!

March 6 vs. Golden Valley: Royal 12 - Golden Valley 6.  Another good day for doubles who won 8 of 9 sets and double teams of Matthew Girrard and Blake Cole as well as Tristan Tausch and Ryan Kimmel are undefeated so far this season.  Peyton Coe and Zac Gwennap both won 2 sets as well.  JV won 3 of 4 sets too.

March 5 @ T.O.:  Royal 9 (73) - T.O. 9 (70).  Doubles won 8 of 9 sets and only gave up 15 total games and thanks to Zac Gwennap and his lone singles win gave us a tie and a chance to count games for the victory.  We played without top player Kevin Daniel and relied heavily on doubles teams of Blake and Matthew and Tristan and Ryan both dominated their sets and set the tone for doubles play.  Two JV sets were also played today and we were successful in both sets.

February 28 vs. Sierra Canyon: Royal 14 - SC 4.  Another first time opponent for us this season had us facing an up and coming Sierra Canyon.  Our doubles won 9 of 9 sets even though we had 2 missing due to sickness.  This allowed our #1 JV team of Krithik Jatavallabullah and L A Dabon to play and they swept all three of their sets.  Griffin Stibor played singles today and won 2 of 3 sets.

February 27 @ Rio Mesa: Royal 15 - Rio Mesa 3.  Due to illness and other school commitments, Rio Mesa only had 7 players so 3 singles and 3 double sets were forfeited.  Of the 12 sets that were played we won 9 of the 12 sets. Freshman L A Dabon won his first varsity singles set and doubles team Ryan Kimmel and Tristan Taush played the best doubles tennis of the day. 

February 22 @ Malibu: Royal 13 - Malibu 5.  Our first visit to Malibu provided a wonderful scenic view of the Pacific ocean although it was a little cold and windy, the sky was clear and the ocean very blue.  We took 5 of 9 singles sets behind the consistent play of Kevin Daniel who swept his sets 1-3-1 and we took 8 of 9 doubles sets from the Sharks.  No J.V. played today.

Febraury 20 @ Pacifica; Royal 17 - Pacifica 1.  Pacifica graduated a large portion of their team last year so we were in a good position to take advantage of a younger less experienced team.  Solid play from our new singles player, Zac Gwennap this season, who swept his three sets!  J.V. also played well taking 4 of 5 sets.
