On the 21st of September 2007, tennis history was made as four members of the CourtJesters Tennis Club opened competition in the first ever Trilogy at Rio Vista Tennis Tournament. George Sablan, Director of Player Development provides the following description of the event:
Today at 4pm the women's doubles semi-final tennis match was played . Many tennis enthusiasts were entertained as they watched Nancy Whitney and Naomi Subala relentlessly returned everything Kathy Zirretta and partner Tommie Mitsushino pounded back to them. There were many long rallies , many times the ball came across the net ten times before the point was won. Even after the first set was won by Nancy and Naomi, one could sense that Kathy and Tommie could make a comeback on the second set because it appeared as if they changed the game plan which was working. At one point when a tough point was won, Tommie yelled, "Kathy, it's working." However, Nancy and Naomi prevailed also on the second set. When I asked Nancy about the second set, she said, " Kathy and Tommie appeared to be gaining momentum and I thought we were going to lose the second set."
There were many who came to watch the match. For those who missed the semi-final match, don't miss the championship match. The championship match will be played Sunday 9/23/09 8am. Nancy and Naomi will be playing against the number one seeded players Judy Griffith and Marcia Penning. Come and watch exciting tennis!!!! I will be there to watch.
The mix doubles tournament will begin next week and the first match will be played Tuesday 9/25/08 8am. Come and watch Kathy Zirretta and partner Dave Hinders battle it out against Iris Lucero and partner Chuck Williams.
There is a change in schedule. The match scheduled for Wednesday 9/26/08 8am has been changed to Tuesday 9/25/08 4pm. This match will be played by Naomi Subala/Orlando Devera against Alice Hill/Joe Downes. If you plan to watch this match, please take note of the new time and date. This is another must watch match. You know Alice and Joe will keep the ball away from Orlando. Let's all come and watch to see how the points will be won and how Naomi will hold up with so many balls coming her way.

Every tournament needs an official scorekeeper.
