The Players... Rico
Rico is a Filipino health care professional who has just recently started working in Singapore for about a year now. His speciality is doubles play, and he is a great asset to anybody partnering him and a great threat to anyone playing against him.He has all the classic playing attributes of great doubles player. A good kick serve, great reflexes at the net and a monster overhead smash which he can execute from any part of the court. From close to the net shots, mid court or deep behind the baseline. He is without a doubt the best "Smasher" in Regentville due to this ability. This guy can smash from anywhere! I sometimes feel that if he had a choice or preference, he'd rather to hit most of his groundstrokes with smashes!
I nicknamed him the "Master Blaster" due to his smashing style which resembles a "Michael Jordan" like slam dunk! Forget also about trying to outvolley this guy, as he has lightning like reflexes at the net. It is very difficult to try to past him or lob him as well. You might be a victim of an angled drop shot or one of his fabled slam dunks smashes if you were to accidentally lob short!
