I wanted to start of the final blog of the Sunset Hills Mixed Doubles Charity tournament by thanking Michael and Nicolle Coleman, the tournament Committee and the staff at Sunset Hills for putting on a flawless tournament year after year. This is really is an event the tennis community looks forward to each year.... WELL DONE!
I am on the Adult Competition Committee for USTA Georgia and I tell the other committee members that if every tournament in this state was run even HALF as good as this tournament then there would be a lot more players playing tournament tennis in Georgia! Clearly when a tournament has 80 players 1 year and then 120 players the next year that is proof that they are doing everything right!
As I was driving home tonight I was thinking that this tournament is a bit like Christmas.. you look forward to it every year, it takes a long time to get here and then it flies by.... the good thing is that in 2 weeks we all reconvene for the mens and womens Sunset Hills Charity Tournament to be played in 2 weekends.
One last thing, if you participated in this tournament this year please take 2 seconds to fill out a Survey about the tournament.. these are looked at by the competition committee...

Today 5 Mixed Teams were crown 2009 Sunset Hills Charity Tournament Champions. There were some extremely hard fought battles. I am so proud of the fact that almost every finalist and winner are local West Georgia League players!
Before I recap the divisions, I want to congratulate Claire Mowling and Eli Rowell on beating me an Carrie in the finals of the 9.0. They played great! I thought Carrie and I played very well. They beat us 7-5, 7-6. Could have gone either way! I am hoping that Carrie will play with me again in the future.. she is SO easy to play with!
6.0 The Battle of Greenway- Both TJ and Matt are co-workers of mine at Greenway.
