Preview: Day 1 Sunset Hills Mixed Doubles Charity Tournament

Day 1 of the Sunset Hills CC Mixed Doubles Charity Tournament is upon us. I am sitting here looking at the draws deciding which matches that I want to see.

I thought I would go through the draw for each division and talk about some of the good first day match ups.



Mixed 6.0 Draw

This should be one of the most closely contested divisions in the tournament. I am looking forward to watching 2 of my Greenway co-workers: TJ Freeman, who is playing with Jessica Kelley.... (some of you may know Jessica, she works in the Sunset Hills CC tennis shop) and Matt Clark and his wife Heather. These 2 teams are on opposite halves of the draw. I think it would be great to see an all-Greenway final in this division!

I am also interested in seeing the Osowski/Davison Vs Huckeba/Ingram match.....Huckeba and Ingram are co-workers at Carrollton Realty and Insurance and Osowski/Davison are members of the 2008 USTA Georgia Mixed League 5.0 Champion team that played out of Fairfield Plantation.

Mixed 7.0

Anyones tournament to win in this one. First round battle of the brothers should be interesting. Marc Morin and Charles Morin are pitted against each other. Marc is playing with Wendy Cullison and Charles with Faith Pullen.

I also am interested to see the match between Bekki Smith and Wallace Smith (no relation) Vs Alan Anderson and Terri Musselwhite... this match is first up at 9:00 this AM. Wallace is so quiet and reserved and Bekki is not quiet and reserved

Mixed 8.0

There are 2 matches in this draw that I am looking forward to seeing. Sherrod/Williamson Vs Colpini/Hart and the other match is Gogart/Golgart Vs Hunt/Martin. Looking at the draw.. I have no idea who is the favorite to win it.... will be interesting to see who is holding the trophies on Sunday!

Mixed 9.0

This is my division and this level has, in my opinion, the #1 best match up of the first round of the whole tournament: Claire Mowling and Eli Rowell Vs Emily Roberts and David Kaplan. Literally, either one of these teams could win this division and they have to play each other first round. Anyone around should stop by at 12:00 and catch this one!

Open

This division is Open to players of any level or age. So, most of the players in this division are under 18. This is also the LOVE division. Mindy and David are playing together and Cope and Jordan are playing together.. we will see how they get along on the court :)

I am most excited about the match up between William Brown/Caroline Colpini Vs David Anderson/Emily Day.. although I don't know Emily I hit with the other 3 from time to time and they are all such good kids.

Well this sums up the first day... weather is going to be nice and hot. Put on that sunscreen and head on out for a GREAT day of tennis at Sunset Hills!

See you at the matches!
