One of the most competitive divisions in the Men's and Women's Open Singles in Staten Island continued its constant slugfest this past Saturday at the Staten Island Community Tennis Center, located in Willowbrook. It involved Erik Manske winning a three set battle against Anton Vilinskiy. Frank Italiano also went on to out hit Pete Oh in a match of three sets. Patrick Thomas, who was bounced out of the main draw managed to outlast Adam Gleichenhaus with a three set in the other quarterfinals action, 7 - 6, 9 - 7 and 6 - 2.
