🎾 A Festive Start to the 2025 Season – RSTC Easter Classic Recap! 🌸

We kicked off the 2025 RSTC season in style with the Easter Classic Mixed Doubles Tournament, and what a day it was! The courts were buzzing under a bright spring sun, with a cool breeze keeping everyone on their toes. It was the perfect setting for a day of competitive tennis and community fun.

The turnout was fantastic—12 women and 9 men came ready to rally, serve, and slice their way to victory. Cheers echoed across the courts as fierce matches unfolded, with each player bringing their A-game. But in the end, only a few claimed the top spots:

🏆 Tournament Results
Women’s Division
🥇 1st Place: Nadya Shirokova & Robin George
🥈 2nd Place: Akosua Grant & Rola Goldie
🥉 3rd Place: Suzanne Chang

Men’s Division
🥇 1st Place: Ben Sergeant
🥈 2nd Place: Ken Richied
🥉 3rd Place (tie): Nagesh Kittur & Steve George

After the last ball was struck and the winners crowned, the celebration continued at our lively post-tournament social! Fourteen members gathered at Hapa’s Brewing Company in downtown San Carlos—big thanks to Mel for picking the perfect spot. We toasted to a great day of tennis, rehashed some spectacular rallies, and even got wrapped up in a hilarious and suspenseful game of Mafia, hosted by Nadya. It was the perfect way to unwind after a day of hard-fought matches.

🙌 A huge shout-out to our amazing volunteers who keep these events running smoothly:
🎯 Tournament Draw: Robin, Akosua, Ken
