Rebecca Kong beats Otay Ranch senior Emely Valencia in straights at Balboa Tennis Club to garner CIF title
On the eve of the girls tennis singles championship, Torrey Pines’ Rebecca Kong had trouble sleeping. She’d wake up, look at the clock, fall asleep, wake up again and stare at the clock some more.
“She played a good tactical game,” said Angel Lopez, head teaching pro at the San Diego Tennis & Racquet Club, who coaches Kong. “It was not your typical bang-bang, academy . They were both mixing the ball up a lot. It was almost like watching two wood-racket players.” Kong had one other advantage. She was more well rested, not having to play a semifinal match on Friday. Kong was awarded a walkover win when Del Norte’s Ayanna Shah pulled out with an injured neck.
