Super Set Singles a Smash



The Stratford Tennis Club completed its annual Super Set Tournament this past Saturday. The singles event that was rained out last weekend was held on Saturday. Despite a slight rain delay and the less than seasonal weather a record number of entries participated.
The men's 'A' final was a very high calibre match with Bob Tamblyn emerging as champion with an 8-5 victory over defending champion Max Besworth. The men's 'A' consolation final saw wily veteran Tom Warnock outsmart teenager Mike Rheaume taking the match 8-1. Nathan Duh staged the comeback of the day in the men's 'B' final against Greg Vivian. Recovering from a 7-2 deficit Duh won 5 straight games to send the match to a tie-breaker where he prevailed 7-5 to take the title. Ric Oliver is the men's 'B' consolation champion after downing Trent Eickmeyer 8-1 in the final.
Marta Andrekovic is the ladies 'A' champion after an impressive 8-1 win over Johanna Billings in the final. The ladies 'A' consolation final saw Victoria Garcia edge Claire Scott 8-6. Nikki Brydges took the ladies 'B' championship by an 8-1 score over Monica Eickmeyer in the final. The youngest winner of the weekend was Monika Andrekovic who won the ladies 'B' consolation final 8-2 over Liz Yundt.
