This year's tennis tournament began with eight players including Patrick Chan (80), Kenny Yip (81), Ronnie Cheng (83), Paul Li (81), Sammy Tam (81), Selwyn Chan (77), Mahmood Rumjahn (74) and Victor Tan (80).

By the end of the first round, Kenny, Ronnie, Mahmood and Victor were left in the semi's to compete for a place in the final. The semi-final match between Mahmood and Ronnie was highlighted by steady playing and smart shot making by both until Mahmood claimed victory by an 8-2 score. The other semi-final match between Kenny and Victor was a close match which featured Kenny's hard-hitting and Victor's 'never-say-die' tennis. Down 4-7, Victor mounted a comeback and earned a place in the final against Mahmood.

The final was played as best of three sets with Victor earning a key break in the eighth game and holding on to take the first set by 6-3. In the second set down 2-5, Victor forced back his way to 6-all and a tie-break which ended at 7-3 giving him the final score of 2 sets to love and a repeat championship.

Everyone brought out their A-game on Sunday. It was competitive tennis with high quality playing and many exciting points. Special thanks to Anil (92) who played as a warm-up partner for the others. Mother nature kept her eyes on us throughout the tournament and held off the rain until minutes after the championship point was over.
