– Alana Miller made a successful return to tennis after
concentrating on squash over the winter months. She
captured the Women’s Open Singles title and then teamed
up with Geoff Kirbyson to win the Mixed Doubles event
at the Manitoba Clay Court Championships at Taylor Tennis.
Miller defeated Anita Paskvalin 6-1, 6-4 in the Women’s
Singles Championship and then earned the Mixed Doubles
crown with Kirbyson, getting the better of Ainsley Bishop
and Hart Pollack 6-4, 6-2 in the final.
Mario Trstenjak, in his first year at the helm of Taylor
Tennis, was very excited to see the Manitoba Clay Court
Championships return to the summer schedule after a
7 year absence. The players and spectators thoroughly
enjoyed the tournament and look forward to seeing it
on the schedule again in 2007.
The Early Bird prize winner in the
Rogers Cup raffle
was Anabela Silva. She took home a Wilson racquet bag
and will be hoping her luck continues when the grand
prize, a trip for 2 to the Rogers Cup in Toronto, is
given away at the Arby’s Manitoba Open on July 16th
at the Kildonan Tennis Club.
