Ryan Weaver wins the Winter Singles Championship

Ryan Weaver is our Singles Champion for the Winter league. Ryan successfully defended his singles title by defeating David Smith 6-3, 5-7, 7-6 (7-5) in a closely contested match. Congratulations Ryan!! Ryan has previously won the Fall 2010 singles title.

Inspite of starting late in the season, Ryan ran past the competition with 7 Wins and 1 Loss. David had a pretty enviable season himself, with 12 Wins and 1 Loss. Infact, David did not lose a match until the final.

Can anyone challenge Ryan for the title in the Spring season? Time will tell.

Winter League Mixer - Update

10 players joined us for our Winter league's mixer on Sunday, December 12th at Utah park. The weather was gorgeous with bright sun and the temperature in the 50's. We kicked things off at 12 PM with round-robin style doubles matches consisting of 1 set each. The team with the most wins would be the winner for the event.

We had some great Tennis through out. At the end Team Antonio Vigil/Vamsee Konda ended up with most wins followed by Ben Schuman/Scott Hunt. It was a lot of fun to meet some new members and catch with others who were with the league for quite some time. A big thank you for all those who participated. We will try to host another event in the new year!!
