8 teams in the draw. The semi finals were played at 10:00 on Saturday, May 3rd, a beautiful, sunny day.

...In the other semi-final, Ben Murphy/Paul Randall fought well and solidly against the aggressive team of Andy Bielanski/Merill May.  Andy and Merill took the first set at 6-4 with a superb batch of poaches and smashes.  Ben and Paul answered in the second set at 6-2.  The 3rd set produced fireworks.  Andy and Merill continued their angled volleys and sharp overhead putaways and Ben and Paul amazed us by returning most of them.  Then a big, atheleteic bound by Merill to catch a lob to his backhand looked like a winner.  Instead, Merill went down to the pavement with a twisted knee. Andy/Merill retired.  Ben and Paul -- 4-6, 6-2, 4-3. 

The final was played at 1:30 after a little resuscitation of Ben and Paul. Foot long taquitos with all the fixings were available for the teams and audience. 

The final pitted Kim Calvert/Jim Bent against Ben Murphy/Paul Randall.  (Side note - Ben and Paul had never played as partners before.)  This match was real competition from the very beginning.  Lobs were smashed, smashes were returned, and sharp, angled volleys were the successful answer from all four players.  Kim/Jim took the first set in a tie-break. Paul and Ben came back in the second set, when almost no one held serve, to win at 6-2.  The third set is hard to describe.  Paul and Ben were on a roll and made very few unforced errors.  Serving presented problems for Kim and Jim.  Paul and Ben took the 3rd set at 6-0.  Final score: 6-7, 6-2, 6-0.
