Finals are set at the CPRT Nationals! The first semifinal match of the day was Jimmy Lowe vs. Craig Lane. Lane came out firing on all cylinders and won the first game 9-1. The tides soon turned as Jimmy started shooting better and squeaked the second game out 9-8. Clubber was missing a few shots and Jimmy was there to chase them down as he won the next to game 9-5 and 9-3 to close out the match.

The second semifinal was Woody Clouse vs. George Bustos. This was Bustos' first ever CPRT semifinal and was a tad nervous as he missed a few shots in the first game and lost a quick one 9-4. Woody was clicking off points quickly and won the second game 9-2. George found his backhand splat and rolled off points in a hurry to win the fourth game 9-6. Woody's serves came alive in the fourth game and he was able to close out the match with a 9-4 win.

Thanks for the updates Steve!

Steve....USTREAM is free and easy to use stream video and you can do it live.

Would be super cool if we can watch the matches.

Woody Clouse added another CPRT title to his collection. This one was a hard fought victory. Jimmy Lowe started a tad slow by dropping the first two games. Woody's serves kept Jimmy off balance. Jimmy came back to win games 3 and 4 by his stellar retrieving skills. The crowd of over 50 spectators loved the banter by both players on and off the court. Jimmy is somewhat known for his colorful attitude and he certainty didn't let down this time. Game 5 went to Clouse as he dug deep to finish off Lowe.

The CPRT doubles champs were crowned on Sunday as Bret Harnett and Craig Lane took out the "younger" team of Adam Karp and Jason Mannino. Harnett and Lane beat Mannino and Karp in straight games as the kept constant pressure by blistering pass shots and jam serves.
