Powerhouse Jeddah Ranao Tennis Club (JRTC) bagged top honors in Class C and Middle Mix (MMX) categories, while Enjaz-Magic needed only three sets to dispose of Elaf Group for the Category B2 diadem in the final rounds of the 2nd Al-Baik Tennis Challenge 2010 at the Al-Bilad Hotel tennis courts. Playing an all-JRTC Class C final, JRTC 2 proved steadier than its sister team JRTC-1 when it won 3-1 to bag the championship. Trailing one set down as Raffy and Alex lost against Webb Pango and Hamidi Samad at 4-8, Faiz Amil and Faisal Masnar bounced back for the equalizer at 8-4 against Daud Mua and Yasser Rauf.
