Congratulations to the winners of the Washington Closed 2011!
This year's definitely had some surprising results! With Neat in the picture, Long's definitely got to keep his game up to defend his titles! Looks like he's got some competition!
MIXED:
Neat&Ying-Fang became an unbeatable pair this time around...Long and Masako have some competition! Frankly, I'm pretty surprised--the first game wasn't even close! (21-10!). I'm pretty sure everyone expected 3 games out of this one, and were sorely disappointed when Neat and Ying Fang took'em out in 2! Congratulations to the new champions of WA...for now!
MENS DOUBLES:
Tim&Toru took out Long&Neat in two games this year! Congratulations to them! Can't wait to see them go at it again at the Washington Open!
MENS SINGLES:
Neat double crowned this year, winning a trophy to match his mixed doubles victory! The first game with Long was INCREDIBLY close, winning at 29-27. Better luck next time, Long!
WOMENS DOUBLES:
The kids are catching up! Vicky&Amy took out the competition this year, winning over fellow juniors Renata&Christine! Looks like those lessons are definitely paying off--they're flying off the charts!
WOMENS SINGLES:
The women's singles draw, though small, was taken away by the juniors. Congratulations to Christine for her victory over Amy! She put up a great fight, and there's no doubt that she's improved! Watch out, Juniors!
Funky doubles, with both competitive and non-competitive divisions, definitely brought a lot of laughs! Bets were definitely put on Neat and Ufilya, who wiped out the competitive draw--no questions asked! There were plenty of couples that signed up this year, and Sunday was definitely a day of leisure for badminton folks! It's not all about rough competition! Looks like Funky Doubles is a growing event--sign up next time!
Congratulations to all of the players at the Washington Closed 2011! There were plenty of new faces, and I bet I can speak for the organizers when I say we hope to see you next year!
