"Women's Doubles Title Match part of 9 at C.G.!":
GTA Monday Night Tennis took place at The Cedar Grove Courts and it featured the GTA Women's Doubles Championship Match as the reigning Champs: "The Smackdown" Sally Pillay and Laura "The Aura" Gawley put their Titles on the line against "The S Bomber" Genalin Capan and "The Marathon Woman" Doinks Srinivasan (with both Laura and Gen reporting). There was also an additional Mixed Doubles One-Setter afterward (as reported by Gen) and then a full 2 out of 3 Sets Mixed Doubles Match (as reported by "Nate the Great" Nathan Fernandes).
Let's go to the dual recap now.
The Lowdown from Laura: We started the match at approximately 7:30 and finished at 8:15. Gen and Doinks are always fun to play! It was cold and I think we were all moving a little slower than usual until we warmed up!
Gen's Notes: We tried to play this match a week ago (last Monday), but it was rained out. We started the match at 7:30 and ended by 8:15. It was a very chilly night with the temperature only in the mid 40's. We had a few multiple Deuce games, but just couldn't get past the Champs. They just dominated. Doinks and I tried, but they are tough competitors. It's always a pleasure to play them. Congrats to Sally and Laura on a very impressive win!

The Cedar Grove Results:
GTA Women's Doubles Championship Match:
Sally Pillay/Laura Gawley over Genalin Capan/Doinks Srinivasan, 6-0, 6-2, to complete their sixth successful GTA Women's Doubles Championship defense of their second reign! No Aces.The Lowdown from Laura: We started the match at approximately 7:30 and finished at 8:15. Gen and Doinks are always fun to play!

Samara's Notes: Though it had not been previously publicly announced, Natalia Sout opted to not cash in on the guaranteed title shot she had earned as the result of her winning the W2 Women's Doubles Tournament with Gawley as her partner. Thus, the Champs were then informed they needed to defend their Titles against any team ranked in the Women's Doubles Division within the month of October. Now that they have done that, they are now asked to wait for a winning team to emerge from the upcoming W-Dub Women's Doubles Tournament as that yet to be formed tandem will be the next Top Contenders after winning the tourney. There is a very strong likelihood that the match will not take place until next season.
Let's now go back to Gen for that additional One-Setter score.
Let's now go back to Gen for that additional One-Setter score.
Mike Mole/Genalin Capan over Kyle Eng/Doinks Srinivasan, 6-3! No Aces.
Gen's Notes: We played this one from 8:20 to 8:55. Mike and I had a 3-0 lead. Kyle and Doinks got it closer, making it 2-3. We took the next two games for 5-2. They took one more game before Mike served it out for the win. Despite the cold, we had a fun and competitive set. Mike and I were done for the night. Kyle and Doinks stayed on Court 3 to hit around until it was lights out at 10pm.
There was some Mixed Doubles action in progress on Court 4 (Nate/Natalia vs. Nick Inciong/Sally Pillay). I'm not sure how that turned out since I left around 9pm.
Samara's Notes: Thanks Gen. We now go to Nate for that last official result of the session.
2 out of 3 Sets Mixed Doubles Match:
Nathan Fernandes/Natalia Sout over Nick Inciong/Sally Pillay, 6-3, 6-4, to successfully defend their # 5 Rank in the Mixed Doubles Division! In the process, Inciong/Pillay entered the division as the New # 41 Ranked Team. No Aces.
Samara's Notes: I thank Laura, Gen and Nate for their timely reporting...much appreciated!
