Notes
A BIG thank you to all competitors and parents for
attending the USTA Oberlin L2 B16 this year.
Congratulations to the award winners at the Oberlin B16 Midwest L2.
The singles champion was Robert Krill who was down a set to
Jacob Edelchik in the final, but turned the second and third sets
around with great offensive play. The doubles champions were Bill
Duo and Kailas Sane who defeated Davis Wong and Ian Yi in the final
8-4. The Oberlin L2 Staff and Officials all voted on the
sportsmanship award and Nick Hamberger was the overall favorite. A
close vote as several competitors were deserving of the award. Best
of Luck the rest of the summer.
