Fall Club Championship Tournaments

The Fall Championship Doubles Tournament was a great success and could not have done it without the help of John Cramer, Roland Burrell and Susan Beckwith. There were 46 entries, with all participants taking home some goodies. The food was provided by Topo Gigio, which included two kinds of salad, pasta and chicken. We finished the lunch off with a delicious cream cake which had written on it the words, "Tuxedo Tennis Rocks."

A great time was had by all especially the winners who were, Phil Spevack and Martin Beckwith (men’s doubles) with runner-ups of Dan Kibsey and Errol Sequeira. Brenda Lybacki and Selvi Varathappen won the ladies doubles, with Ricky Silver and Kelly Fraser as the runner-ups. The consolation winners of the ladies doubles were Jane Romaniuk and Shelley Smith, with the runner-ups being Carole Loeder and Judi Park. The mixed doubles winners were Dan Kibsey and Brenda Lybacki against the finalists of Joan Schumacher and Edmund Brochet, and the consolation winners were Joe and Dawn Cyr with consolation finalists of Natalie Addis and Kevin Judd. As of this report, the Parent & Child events are still being played.

Congratulations are also in order to Joe Cyr who was the Fall TTC Men's Singles Champion. Joe went undefeated throughout the tournament round robin. Special mention also goes to Martin Beckwith who finished second.

See you on the court!

2005 Tuxedo Junior Open

Congratulations to TTC members Alexa Zayac (U18 Girls Singles champion), Alexia Cholakis (U10 Girls Singles champion), and Jordan Wilding (U18 Girls Doubles winner) at this year's Tuxedo Junior Open. Other event winners included Lily Wiebe of Saskatoon (U12 & U14 Girls Singles), Anita Paskvalin (U16 Girls Singles), Chad LaCap (U12 Boys Singles), Jordan Christiansen of Regina (U14 Boys Singles), and Sean LaCap (U16 & U18 Boys Singles).

This tournament was the second of three qualifiers for the 2005 Outdoor Junior Nationals. All of the participants should be commended for battling through the very difficult weather conditions. Temperatures were not very far from the freezing mark, making it very challenging at times.

TTC Well Represented at U12 Nationals

The 2005 U12 Outdoor Junior Nationals were held during the summer in Mont Tremblant, Quebec at the Gray Rocks Club and 9 Manitobans were part of the field of 64 athletes competing for National supremacy. Tuxedo Tennis Club was represented by Jade Kirstein, Maya Kirstein, Evann Waschuk, Will McPherson, and Alex Minuk.

The Gift of Tennis

Roland Burrell would like to thank all those that participated in Tennisburrell Academy programs this past season. A lot of fun was had by those that attended lessons, summer camps, and after school programs. Some new students have even joined Tuxedo Tennis Club as a result of their new found love of the game. Roland is currently scheduling for the fall indoor season and would like to remind you that gift certificates are available for those that wish to give the gift of tennis.
