The Greater Amherstburg Tennis League (GATL) held its 4th Annual Men’s Doubles Tournament last weekend at the new Essex Community Tennis Center.

The stormy weather held off and the playing conditions were ideal as 16 teams competed for the Championship in two separate divisions.

The final results were as follows:

Tier 1 Bracket
Champions – Fadi and Rami Shaya (Windsor)
Finalists – Somath Kong (London) and Keith Cartier (Windsor)
Consolation – JY Renaud and Greg Sopel (Windsor)

Tier 2 Bracket
Champions – Greg Zhang and Arthur Xie (Windsor)
Finalists – Scott Bulych and Exodus Calit (Tecumseh)
Consolation – Brent Murray (Kingsville) and Frank Palumbo (Amherstburg)

The GATL would like to thank the Town of Essex for the use of their courts.

Also, we’d like to thank Pat Sao (Pizza Express in Harrow) for sponsoring the event.

The GATL is Southwestern Ontario’s largest public, outdoor tennis league with over 250 members.
