Mountain View Tennis Club

Welcome to the return of the MVTC Singles Tournament. We have a good turnout with 24 participants with 4 divisions. Mens’ Division I has 4.0 to 5.0 players. Mens’ Division II has 3.0 to 3.5 players. Women’s ratings range from 3.0 to 4.0. Because we had 9 women, I had to split the women’s draw into 2 divisions. Please see the drawsheets for your start time. Most people will be starting at 8:30 AM. Check-in and warmup time will be 8 to 8:15 AM. Please show up early and on time as we want to get started on time at 8:30 AM. Warmup limited to 10 min.

We had nice turnout for our July Mixed Doubles tournament. Tournament Director Jeremy Chen did a great job as usual in making the draws fair and competitive. We had 6 teams in Division I (7.5 and above), 6 teams in Division 2 (7.0) and 4 teams in Division 3 (6.0 and under). The results:

Division I: Jennifer Adams/Brook Lee (winners) vs Kathy Nichols/Michael Alvarez 3-6, 6-4, 1-0 (10-2)

Players, I look forward to seeing you at this Saturday's mixed doubles tournament. We will start at 8:30am with a light breakfast and please sign in at the desk according to your assigned start time listed below. Most players start at 8:30 with a few who got a first round bye.

All matches will be played at Rengstorff park in Mountain View. If this is your first time, please use google map to find out where the courts are. They can be somewhat difficult to locate if this is your first time.

MVTC would like to acknowledge the following for their participation in the Mtn View Spring Parade and Festival this year on April 23, 2016. Although we did not march as a club this year, a number of MVTC members and friends participated in the festivities to make sure tennis was well-represented.

Thank you all for a wonderful tournament. It was great to have such a group of nice and fun players to share the tennis courts with on a beautiful Saturday morning. We had some really competitive matches too. The final match of mixed 7.0 was decided by a tie break in the second set. And while the mixed 7.5 final was a nail biter with the winning team clinching a third set tie break at 12-10, the mixed 6.0 final was won in no less dramatic fashion with a super tie break score of 10-8.
