Andrew Chang receiving trophy
Santa Anita Inn owner and Arcadia-based Continental Management Inc. CEO Andrew Chang plays tennis so seriously in his spare time that his men’s 4.0 team from Arcadia — called Dragon from Southern Sea — won the prestigious 2015 BNP Paribas Open Senior Cup in Indian Wells, Calif. on March 26 just days after Novak Djokovic was crowned men’s single champion in the same tournament the previous weekend.
The Senior Cup drew teams from as far away as Canada and Omaha, Nebraska.
Playing in the 100-degree heat of the desert at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden, several doubles partners on the Dragon team battled, led off by Andy and his partner who won their match 6-3 and 6-4. When the second set of partners lost, the final pair were forced into a super tiebreaker, which Dragon from Southern Sea won in dramatic fashion 11-9.
