As his partner, Steve Waldo, glares over the net, Charlie Zani, a member of the Superlatives, hits a serve Tuesday afternoon in a semi-final match against the Backhanded Compliments in the Randolph Team Tennis league. The Backhanded team of Will Adams and Michael Tragner prevailed, 6-0, 4-6, 11-9 (tiebreak); but the Superlatives won two matches to one to advance to the championship game next week.
