While the weather threatened to potentially postpone the matches today, the finals for the Open Doubles Tournament concluded this afternoon. In a highly competitive match, involving great back and forth rallies with some tremendous volleys at the net, John Payette and Brett Shepherd were able to emerge victorious and win their first Doubles Championship 6-2, 6-2 over Gary Pinder and Dave McAleer!!! The score was not indicative of the contest as many games went the distance, keeping those in attendance in suspense as to who would ultimately win the championship. The two teams did not disappoint with high quality doubles play.
In other news, Nhan Doan and Paul Fischer have won the B-Side Finals as Mike Fowler and Darcy Ross were unable to compete.
I would like to thank all of the participants for entering the Open Doubles Tournament. For the third year in a row we were able to get a full draw for the tournament which provided some great match-ups.
Our next club tournament is in less than four weeks time with the Phil LeBlanc Memorial Tournament running from July 22-29. We expect to see even more drama and excitement in July and I hope that you can all witness the tournament that has become a highlight of the tennis season!
