PICKERING — A Pickering tennis player placed third in doubles last weekend at the Ontario Provincial Under-18 Tennis Championships at the Mayfair East Racquet Club. In addition, Irfan Shamasdin fin- ished sixth in singles, having reached the final in the champi- onship of the quarter-finalists. "Irfan played very aggressively in both events," notes his coach, Dave Ochotta of the Pickering Recre- ation Complex. "He played ex- tremely well, mixing in serve-and- volley attacks behind his strong serve and moving well in the back- court to launch forehand blasts." In doubles, Shamasdin and Robert Rotaru of London -- the fourth seeds -- competed for the first time together at the provin- cials. In the semifinal, they had a close first set against top-seeded Alex Riedl and Thomas Fichman of Toronto before bowing out 7-5, 6-1. In the quarter-final, they de- feated John Taylor and Paul Pi- otrowski of Burlington 6-3, 6-4. In the previous round, Shamasdin and Rotaru defeated Nathaniel Gery and David Cysneiros 6-4, 6-1.
