Gondrez Gives Simi Valley Shot in Arm

Mindy Gondrez, weakened by illness and having lost her two previous singles matches Thursday, pulled out a 6-0 victory over Alexis Bell of Agoura High to give Simi Valley a 10-8 victory in a Marmonte League girls’ tennis match at Agoura.

Gondrez, Simi Valley’s top singles player, has missed three of the last four matches matches because of extreme fatigue and strep throat.

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen Mindy so depressed,” Coach Rob Wickwire of Simi Valley said. “She’s never been in a situation where she can’t hustle after every ball. Against Alexis she couldn’t rally, she just started hitting winners.”

Simi Valley (13-2, 7-1 in league play) lost seven of nine singles matches but won eight of nine in doubles.

Rebecca Hunau and Stella Chu (45-0) of Simi Valley have not lost a game in their last six sets.
