Van Lawn Masters Indoor Championships - 2013
This year, players had to validate their membership with the new national membership system in order to play in the tournament which was held April 12-21.  Many missed the dead-line, yet, over 320 players were able to participate. A record  number for this year!  Our thanks goes to Anissa Chung in the membership at Tennis BC.

Photo 1(left): Top-seeded Manuel Calvo blasted the second-seeded Gabriel Davis in the Men's 35 Singles final, 6-1, 6-1, to prove he's the Man to Beat!

Photo 2: Mamood Gouneili, left, and Steven Yesowick.  Steven reached the Men's 55 finals where he lost to John Picken, 6-0,5-7,6-3.  And for Mamood, he suffered first-round defeat in the Men's 60. He lost to Milan Klasnja, 6-1, 6-1.

Photo 3: Un-seeded Claude Pierce outlasted sixth-seeded Ian Stewart, 4-6,7-5,6-4 to win the Men's 60 Singles. Ian eliminated the top-seeded Ken Mcbean, 7-5, 7-6, earlier in the semis.

Photo 4: On Saturday, April 13, the club welcomed players with a social. Platters were laden with fresh oysters, vegetable salads, sushi and chicken, to name a few offerings. Van Lawn always pays attention to the details for which muchas gracias on behalf of all the participants!

Photo 5: Unfortunately injuries in tennis are very common, especially in the seniors' games. John Wade, seeded 2, was playing for over three hours in the first-round of the Men's 60 against a tough competitor, Oscar Woodman, and up 5-4 in the third set, when he got injured and had to pull out of the tournament.

Photo 6: Cora Wills beat Brenda Cameron, 6-2, 6-4, for the Women's 55 Singles crown.

Photo 7: Doug Holman lost to Steven Yesowick, 6-0, 6-4, in the Men's 55 semis. It's good to see Doug is back after a long shoulder injury!
