Mixed Doubles Tourney 2009

Posted Sun, 09/20/2009 - 1:12pm

After a one week rain delay our Mixed Doubles Tournament was held on a beautiful, sunny, cool September morning.  Seven teams played in a one-set elimination format.  (Losers got plenty of tennis in playing several sets with one another afterwards!)  A continental breakfast filled and fueled our hungry competitors.

It all came down to an evenly matched final between Claire Miko/Jon Wallen and Patty Cecere/Mike Smith.  Claire and Jon took the first set 6-2; Patty and Mike took the second set 6-2!  A full third set was played - resulting in a tie, of course.  Claire and Jon finally won 9-7 in the tiebreak.   It was well-fought and enjoyable for all the spectators.  Congratulations go to both the winners and runners up!

We thank Patty Cecere and Claire Miko for organizing the tournament;  our thanks go to Paul Cecere for picking up the breakfast food!
