Winnipeg, MB (TM) – It’s not often
that Doug DeVriendt enters a tournament in Manitoba
coming off a loss. After suffering a tough 3-set
defeat in the semi-finals of the Arby’s Manitoba
Open to eventual champion Alex Gravina of Toronto,
DeVriendt bounced back with another statement at the
Tuxedo Open.
He waltzed through the draw without dropping a set
and overpowered Patrick Millican for the Men’s
Singles title with a 6-1, 6-1 victory. DeVriendt’s
dominance of the local tennis scene was very evident
again. The only blemishes on his record over the
last two years are losses to Gravina at the last two
Manitoba Opens. He has captured every other
tournament that he has entered in convincing style.
Other winners at Tuxedo were as follows:
Women’s Open Singles: Anita Paskvalin def.
Evann Waschuk 6-3, 6-0
Women’s Doubles: Paskvalin / McKenzie def.
Clarissa & Erica Chen 6-4, 7-5
Mixed Doubles: Zayac / Burrell def. Bishop /
Mercury 6-4, 7-5
Men’s 4.5 Singles: Dennis Cann def Ion
Ursatanu 6-1, 5-7, 6-2
Men’s 3.5 Singles: Helder Serpa def. Jake
Bergen 6-1, 6-1
Women’s 4.5 Singles: Clarissa Chen def.
Darlene Lee 6-2, 6-3
Men’s 4.5 Doubles: Whittaker / Lloyd def.
Ursatanu / Trinidad 2-6, 6-4, 6-2
Men’s 40+ Singles: Tom Brown def. Terry
Langan 6-2, 6-3

Winnipeg, MB (TM) – It’s every
tennis enthusiast’s dream to watch the best players
in the world on center court on the final weekend of
a big tournament. That dream is a reality for two
lucky fans who have won the top prize in the Rogers
Cup Sweepstakes.
Gord Wimble’s name was selected from among the more
than 300 tickets sold by Tennis Manitoba and its
member clubs. He will be sending his wife Julia and
mother-in-law, Shirley Todorski, to Toronto for the
semi-finals and final of the 2006 Rogers Cup on
August 12th and 13th. The trip includes round-trip
airfare, 2 nights at the Hilton Suites Conference
Center & Spa and great seats for the last 3 matches
of the tournament featuring the best male players in
the world!
Tennis Manitoba and its member clubs were able to
make a profit of $1300 from the Rogers Cup
Sweepstakes. This money will be used to assist with
the development of club programs and grassroots
initiatives in Manitoba.
Thank you to everyone who helped contribute to the
growth of tennis in the province and congratulations
to our winners!
