raintree knockout stage


We sailed thru the quarterfinals and banged up against lakeview club in the semifinals... we knew that would be a tough match and we weren't wrong... we got the first point after our young men otto and jin ghee settled down after taking the first set to a tie break...but Lisa and machiko never settled down and we fell back to 1 1 ...

Albert and Robert had no problem adding another point, to make it 2 1 but we never recovered from the loss of the ladies doubles... in the end we lost to lakeview 3 2 after a hard fight...

The 3rd and 4th placing was no problem and we took the 3rd place 4 1 against sagamat...

Raintree overwhelmed Lake View in the final... easily winning their veterans, mens' 30+ and mixed doubles... also their men's 45 with Suresh Menon was "no see ball"...

All in all it was a great tournament , good teamwork and good fun.... and one great thing about tennis is "I win , I learn something... you win against me, I also learn something"... so we'll be back next year more determined than ever ...
