TIBURON/STARNBERG, October 8, 2023
Alexis Galarneau of Canada and Zachary Svajda from the United States took each other on in an exciting match at the $80,000 Tiburon Challenger presented by Raymond James Financial with crowd-pleasing saves and strategic moves that was a repeat of last year’s singles semi-final. The outcome was the same for a second year in a row, with Svajda defeating Galarneau to move onto the final and a chance to defend his title.
Adam Walton overcame fellow Aussie Tristan Schoolkate to face Svajda in Sunday’s final.
What a backhand, Adam Walton 👏
