CHEERS!

BIG nite at the Tennis Club of St. Croix tonight. First off...what a great night of food with tonight being "build your own bowl of chili" night. Awesome tasting chili and what a bargain! Many were seen taking travelers for lunch tomorrow...just like a good Crucian!

Womens B doubles take court first...and what a lovely sight they were. My favorite "it gal" Jeri Ferrante and her partner Emmeline Simmonds took out Patsy Knight (wait...how did this happen?!) and my newest obsession Natalie Nelson. Natalie...I am still thinking about our time on the court the other night (wink! wink!). I think I luff her. Newly matched up Kye Walker and Debbie Aronstein defeat our ladies in pink, Sarah Stamper and Carole Lockwood by a score of 6-0, 6-2. Not a bad score for a team who recently just paired up! Xaulanda Simmonds and Aimee Belmore bullied their way past D'Eramo dem by a score of 6-1, 6-1. HELLO?! No bullying! Didn't you watch my video?! Kudos to Thea for being fearless on the court tonight! The big match up of the night played out on court 1 with the ever smiling Kathleen Antoine and her partner Isabel "watch out for my forehand" Brady taking on our favorite female lefty Kelly Shirloh and the EVER fashionable Flo Logan. Great outfit, Flo! This three setter was won by Kelly and Flo by a score of 6-2, 3-6, 6-1. Nice work ladies!

Big night for mens doubles as well. First up were Michael and Mario taking on Mike Petievich and Chris Schrieber (by the way...Michael and Mario don't need last names. Kinda like...Madonna...or Cher). Sweeping the first set 6-1, Mike and Chris pull out a close 2nd set tiebrake against M and M. Nice job assholes. Excuse me...gentlemen...I mean gentlemen! Robbie Stamper and Dieter Goldschlagger took on our mystery men from Hovensa John Stommel and John Hagen tonight in a really tight three setter. After dropping the first set, Robby and Dieter bounce back and take the last two sets. Word has it Dieter and Robby had a hottie coach tonight. Nice comeback...and nice comeback for Dieter as well. Great to see him back on the court. Jason Miller and Carl Beckstedt blasted balls left and right, up and down and all around. Kim Hughes and his partner...some guy named Lax. Or...Sax. Hell I don't know...something like that...anyways....Jason and Carl advance. The match up of the night happened on court 3 with Larry Kupfer and Ken Smashburn taking on the Kuiper dems. Yep...they had the oompa loompa! Alec played one heck of a match. Word has it he even let his dad hit a few balls. Congrats Kuipers...they take the match in three sets!

Tennis Club of St. Croix tennis....its FANtastic!
