PLEASANTON, CA \u2014 The Dublin Pleasanton Tennis Group\u2019s 18+ Men\u2019s 3.0 team won second place at the 2025 USTA National Championship in Scottsdale, the second time the team has placed second nationally.<\/p>\n
The team ranked second out of over 1,000 teams competing.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a moment of immense pride for NorCal and especially for the communities of Pleasanton, Dublin, and San Ramon,\u201d said first-time team Captain Gabriel Mangonon. \u201cWe started as underdogs and ended as finalists. That journey speaks volumes about our heart and hunger.\u201d<\/p>\n
The team spent four days a week training at the Pleasanton Tennis Park under Narayana Rao Surapaneni, who has led eight teams and over 100 players to the national championships in just three and a half years. In 2022, the group won the United States Tennis Association League Adult 40 & Over 3.0 National Championship, the first time a group from Northern California won that award. <\/p>\n
According to Surapneni, seven players competed through serious injuries, including an ankle injury and knee pain that made it difficult to bend, and many players were over 40 competing against much younger opponents. <\/p>\n
\u201cThis team didn\u2019t just play tennis. They embodied resilience,\u201d said Surapaneni. \u201cThey showed what it means to fight for something bigger than yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n
