Dublin/Pleasanton Tennis Team Places 2nd In National Competition For 2nd Year In A Row

PLEASANTON, CA — The Dublin Pleasanton Tennis Group’s 18+ Men’s 3.0 team won second place at the 2025 USTA National Championship in Scottsdale, the second time the team has placed second nationally.

The team ranked second out of over 1,000 teams competing.

“This is a moment of immense pride for NorCal and especially for the communities of Pleasanton, Dublin, and San Ramon,” said first-time team Captain Gabriel Mangonon. “We started as underdogs and ended as finalists. That journey speaks volumes about our heart and hunger.”

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.

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.

“This team didn’t just play tennis. They embodied resilience,” said Surapaneni. “They showed what it means to fight for something bigger than yourself.”

Players from the 3.0 National Team include:

Devank Agarwal, Nikhil Agashe, Faisal Ahmad, Gaurav Anand, Alejandro Angel, Rex Dela Rosa, Ivan Dobrovolskyi, Rama Erigindindla, Jimmy Agustin, Mukul Singh, Sumanth Ghanta, Melvin I Fox, Sai Charan Kukunoor, Arjun Kumar, Arthur Kwun, Hiren Mandalia, Gabriel Mangonon, Raj Narisetti, Jagadeesh Nelaparthi, Venkata Sravan Nittala, RaghuRam Pamidimarri, Srini Parimi, Arun Pentapalli, Sachin Shetti, Chagari Vamsi Reddy.
