Tennis Talk
By Betty Olsen
Well,… we certainly dodged a bullet with the weather, since 2 days after the finals of the Mixed Doubles club tournament the temperature moved up 10 degrees to be in the high 90s! The weather for the tournament was perfect and both the A and B mixed draws were full for the first time in my 6 years as tournament director. Well done everyone!
We had many compelling matches to watch as every team had 3 matches to play, 2 on Saturday and 1 on Sunday. The viewing stands were full of spectators, both to watch the tennis but also to have some of the delicious food Nancy Domingo and Andrea Alvarez provided. They always seem to make it a party. The Mixed Doubles results:
Mixed Doubles A – Peggy Seidel and Amit Seth – 1st place, Phyllis Seeger and Steve Olson – 2nd place, Gail and Mike Tuft – 3rd place, Liz Kung and Sheng Chen – consolation winner, Cheryl Diltz and Roy Pennington – consolation runner-up.
Mixed Doubles B – Lolivic and Randy Shaw – 1st place, Lynn and Jayme Dickson – 2nd place, Cheryl Heusser and Marty Funcell – 3rd place, Tina Parsley and Jay Desai – consolation winner, Carrie Yasukawa and Peter Tsuedo – runner-up
Following the finals, many of us went to the Bay Club on Winchester to cheer on our Men’s Villager 6.5 team. And they pulled off a win Again!! Now 3 and 1. The next home match is Sunday, October 6 at 12:30pm. Come cheer!
And put on your calendar, Saturday, October 19, 9am to watch Villages vs Rossmoor.
