West Hartford, CT

Women's Final Draw (pdf)  

With injuries sidelining their regular partners, Kerri Delmonico and Myrthe Molenveld decided to pair up and see how they would fare as a team. After winning the Connecticut Classic without losing a set, they clearly made a good choice. Seeded second, Delmonico/Molenveld beat Lisa Rudloff and Mariya Slupska in the semifinals before knocking out the top seeds, Florentina Hanisch and Annica van Starrenburg, in the finals. Hanisch/van Starrenburg needed three sets to reach the finals, defeating Jade Curtis and Liz Jaffe, 6-1, 4-6, 6-3, in their semifinal match.

There was fierce competition in the backdraws, with Cooey Lyons/Charlotte Sikora and Katie Adams/Sue Tarzian playing into the darkness. Lyons/Sikora took the win and fifth place in the tournament.

Thank you to tournament director Courtia Worth, who runs a fabulous tournament year after year.
