Schedule for Opening Round of 2012 Open Doubles Tournament

Attention BTC Members,

The opening round for this year's Open Doubles Tournament will be taking place on Friday, June 22nd.  For the third year in a row, we have a full draw with some very talented teams.

All  first-round matches are to take place (weather permitting) this Friday at 7:00 PM. 

Gary Pinder and Dave McAleer open their defense of last year's championship against a young upstart team in Connor Roth and Dimitrije Gojkovic. 

Darcy Ross and Mike Fowler hoping to build on last year's final appearance where they lost in three sets will take on the first brother duo in this tournament in Nick and Matt Hepburn.

In other action, a strong favorite to advance to the finals, Brett Shepherd and John Payette will have to overcome the team of Gary Burke and Shreekant Date to keep the finals within reach.

And finally, the team of Bob Streicher and Patrick LeBlanc will look to erase last year's heartbreaking semi-final loss when they open against Paul Fischer and Nhan Doan.

All matches throughout the weekend should be entertaining so I invite everyone who is available to come out and watch some great doubles action.

Good luck to all participants!!!
