USTA St. Louis Kicks Off 2022 with Adult One Night Mixed Doubles Tournaments
USTA St. Louis opened its 2022 adult tournament slate with a full-capacity One Night Mixed Doubles tournament indoors at Creve Coeur Racquet Club on January 22.
A total of 44 players participated in one of the 7.5, 8.5 or 9.5 combo mixed doubles flights that were offered during the nighttime event. Teams played short sets to four games in a best two-out-of-three-sets scoring format.
“It went excellent,” Kunkel said. “Everyone was super excited to have tournaments returning for the New Year. We had a great draw size and filled up all eight courts. It ran very smoothly. It was exciting with some playoff football.”
At the 7.5 mixed combo level, Don Tulloch and Nancy Tulloch teamed up to claim the championship over second-place finishers Paul Ackermann and Melissa Matthews. In the 8.5 flight, Chris Carpenter/Nichole Carpenter earned the title while Stefan Nosic/Maggie Cimarolli were the runner-up.
And at the 9.5 mixed combo level, Ryan White and Ashley Hennis captured first place. Guillaume Huchet and Severine Huchet collected a second-place finish.
