(L-R) Emma Gordon 2024 Women's Singles Champion and our NEW 2025 Women's CLUB Champion Sonam Sherpa!

The Women's Club Singles Match was played this morning at 9:00am.  The top two seeds, #1 Emma Gordon and #2 Sonam Sherpa, reached the final stanza and delighted a small group of spectators with endless rallies and evident determination and effort.  These two friends pushed each other physically with a 2 1/2 hour match ending in a 6-4, 4-6, (10-8) final tally.

The third set breaker mirrored the ups and downs of the first two sets with Sonam taking early control of the match breaker with poise and consistency.  She built a 7-3 lead and appeared on the cusp of taking the club crown.  Emma had other plans though and quickly won the next 5 points to gain an 8-7 advantage.....only two points from defending her 2024 title.  Sonam gathered herself and played two brilliant points to earn the first match point at 9-8. A lengthy rally ensued on match point and the match reached its terminal point when a Sonam's two-handed backhand clippled the net cord and dripped over onto Gordon's  side of the net. 

Game- Set - Match!  The two young women embraced and demonstrated appreciation for each other and respect for our game of choice.

Well done, Emma and Sonam!
