After 2 hours, 10 minutes of fantastic, sometimes spectacular doubles play, on the 217th point Francis Parker freshman Noah Bouzoubaa bent low and angled a forehand volley on the opposite side of the net.

It could not be returned and after letting out a celebratory scream, Noah met his brother Ilias at the service line. They exchanged a handshake and finally could relax.

The brothers, the freshman and the junior, defeated Scripp Ranch High School senior Darren Gunatilake and junior Andreas Udall 6-7 (3), 6-4, 6-4 at the Balboa Tennis Club to win the CIF San Diego Section doubles title Saturday.

While the Bouzoubaa brothers took home the first-place hardware, the real winners were the spectators who lined Court 9 to watch the match.

“It was phenomenal,” said Scripps Ranch coach Karyn McCartney.

“High level tennis,” said Spencer McCarney, Karyn’s son and the Parker assistant coach.

“That was one of the best technical matches I’ve seen in the 40 years I’ve done this,” said Canyon Crest Academy coach Kevin Brown. “I’ve seen harder-hitting finals. But this one had everything. It had touch, it had power, it had intelligence.

“There were ups and downs. It had a couple of dead spots where everyone wasn’t playing well, then they came back and played better. All those kids are going to go on and do something interesting.”

In the singles final featuring a pair of baseliners, Point Loma senior Nick Lilov proved too steady for Canyon Crest junior Aditya Khanna, winning 6-4, 6-0.

The serving was so good in the doubles match that out of 22 games, there were only two breaks. Both went to the Bouzoubaa brothers and proved the difference in the match. By comparison, there were seven breaks in the singles final’s first set.

After Scripps Ranch won the first-set tiebreaker, the brothers broke Udall in the second set’s third game, then held serve to even the match.

One of the match’s pivotal moments came in third set’s fourth game. Down love-40 on his serve, Noah battled back to hold serve, capping the game with an ace.

“I think that just shows how mentally tough he is,” said Ilias, who won the singles title last year and switched to doubles to play with his brother. “He showed real big energy and managed the big moments really well.

“Between the two of us, he was the better player today.”

Lilov became the fifth Pointer to win a singles title, joining Kelly Jones (1981) John Pongsrikul (1999), Zach Leslie (2008-09) and Keegan Smith (2015-16).

Lilov, who will play at UC San Diego, credited a change in attitude for his win.

“Before this I had a lot of real bad losses,” he said. “I wasn’t having a good time. This tournament I dropped all expectations. Just have fun out there. Play around, get up with the crowd. Make it a show.”

And so he tossed in two underhanded serves and after winning one point, yelled, “I’m so good! I’m so good!”

After winning the match, the 5-foot-11, 140-pound Lilov rolled up his right sleeve and flexed his bicep.

Khanna, who won the doubles title last year, said he wasn’t annoyed by Lilov’s theatrics.

“He’s a great guy,” Khanna said. “Obviously there’s emotion involved. He’s a great guy.”
