W ow, what a day of mixed doubles! Withforty players (20 teams)
entered, Priscillaand I had our hands full trying to make this
manyfolks get tennis matches in on our six courts. Weorganized a
round robin format with tiebreakers todecide the seedings in the
main draw. At the endof the tiebreakers we shifted the teams into
asingle-elimination draw with those having the bestrecords getting
the highest seedings. This made fortrue seeding based on results
that morning,however, the draws did not hold to the seedings,which
was a testament to how strong and closethe teams were in
abilities.
In the Gold Division, after some tough setsleading to the
finals, things settled out with theteam of Mitch Levine & Julie
DeMayo battlingMitch Reinis & Karely Deal for bragging rights
over
the next twelve months.The match see-
sawed throughthe first set.
Numerouslengthygamesthat wentto deuceled to
theinevitabletie-breaker.
The pointscontinued
with extremeconsistency,
clever angles,and monster "Mitch"
smashes. In the end, Julie and Mitch edged out thefirst set. In
the second set, it appeared that Julie andMitch settled down to a
better rhythm, while Mitchand Karely continued their defensive
onslaught. Afteranother half-hour, Julie and Mitch were able
tooutlast and outgun Mitch and Karely in another hard-fought set.
The final score was 7-6, 6-2 in a matchtruly worthy of a Gold
Division final. Congrats to MitchLevine & Julie DeMayo our 2018
Mixed Doubles GoldChamps!

In the Championship Division there were someexperienced,
hard-hitting teams battling it out. Afterthe seeding round, Brandon
& Danielle Boyce cameout as the top seeds along with Colleen
Moryl andIsrael Mora. However, in the main draw the seedswere
turned on their heads with newcomers, Adeline& Robert Cook
dismissing Israel & Colleen in thequarterfinals. On the other
side, the Boyces weredispatched by another set of newcomers,
Lisa-MariePetersen and Casey Cook in the quarterfinals.
In the semi-finals, Casey & Lisa-Marie continued toshow good
form with Casey's youthful power andLisa-Marie's rock-solid
steadiness (always a toughdoubles combination) to dismiss
pre-tournamentfavorites Robert Rudelius & Donna Leventhal in
anentertaining match. In the other semi, Lockard &Cook showed
their experience against two powerfuland skilled players in Adeline
& Robert, by playingsteady strong defense and keeping errors to
aminimum.
It shaped up to be quite a final, with a fatherversus a son ala
Star Wars. The younger Cook andLisa-Marie, came out blazing with a
strong hold andan immediate break to start the final. However,
theelder Cook and Lockard buckled down for a long,bumpy ride by
using Casey's pace to effectivelycounterpunch along with some
clever changes ofpace, they countered to build a 5-2 lead.
However,Casey & Lisa-Marie weren't going away easily.
Theystormed back to 4-5, forcing Cookie to serve out theset. After
a tense 30-30 point, Linda & Cookie arrivedat set point. A big
serve decided the set in favor ofCookie & Linda.
The second set saw Casey relax and use hisheavy topspin to push
their opponents back on theirheels. In addition, Lisa-Marie showed
fine hands bothat the net and on the return, cutting her errors in
halfas she adjusted to the pace. After some close gamesat the
beginning of the set, they built a 5-2 lead oftheir own and never
relinquished it, ending the setwith hold of serve that saw Casey
overpower bothCookie and Linda to win 6-3.
The final set was a ten-point tiebreaker. Cookieserved first and
immediately fell behind off a missedforehand. Then, Casey held on
both his servicepoints, followed by a heavy return down the
middlethat earned Lisa-Marie and Casey a quick 4-0 lead.That lead
quickly evaporated as Linda and Cookiebuckled down and eliminated
all errors. Theyproceeded to win eight points in a row and
closed
out the match on Cookie's serve, 10-7.Congrats to Linda Lockard
and Sean "Cookie"
Cook for a well-played event! Special thanks toPriscilla and
Angel for their assistance with getting thefood out for the semis
and finals. The crowd for thematches was great and of course,
