Fall Singles Playoffs

Congratulations to Ryan Weaver for winning our Singles division. The singles playoffs for the Fall 2010 season were played on Sunday, October 31st at Utah Park.

We used a 10 game pro-set format to play all the matches where the first player to win 10 games with a difference of 2 takes the match. The scores for the matches are as follows:

Prizes for the event were sponsored by Epic Autos Colorado. Thank you Epic Autos!!

The championship match was played between Ryan Weaver and Ken Moyer. The match started out with both players going volley to volley. Ryan was able to break Ken's serve in the 4th game of the match, but Ken broke back immediately to level the score. Ryan started playing more attacking Tennis by hitting the ball hard from the baseline and rushing the net. Soon, Ryan was up a break and then there was no stopping him. He took the match 10-5.

Ryan Weaver - Fall 2010 Singles Champion.

Ken Moyer - Fall 2010 Singles Runner-Up.
