For years, the Kailua Men's Night Doubles championship match has been one of the top highlights of the Hawaii tennis season. As a player, spectator, or event staff, this was the event you wanted to be at. Not just for the tennis but for the atmosphere that is essentially Hawaii's grand slam tennis tournament. 2014 was no exception as we a repeat of the very memorable 2009 final between two familiar teams was talked about throughout the event. And sure enough, it happened!
In 2014, then 2-time (as a doubles team) Kailua Night Doubles champions Dennis Lajola & Ikaika Jobe were tearing up the Hawaii Triple Crown of Men's Tennis. Every match they played, they would win with ease. Up to this point that summer, this team didn't drop a single set. Clearly, Dennis & Ikaika with their vast experience in NCAA & even the ATP were THE force in Hawaii open level tennis. Standing in their way of a 3rd Kailua Night Doubles team title were Night Doubles veterans Mikael Maatta & Jan Tribler. This team, other than Dennis & Ikaika, also continued to have their way with their opponents throughout the triple crown. This team was crafty, scrappy, & highly experienced in the big moments of a doubles tournament. Also being 2-time champions of the event, Jan & Mikae were winding up to give it their best shot at, what seemingly looked like, the monumental task of taking down the juggxrnaught team that was Ikaika & Dennis.
Like, Mentioned before, these two teams battled it out for the 2009 Kailua Night Doubles championship with Dennis & Ikaika edging things out in a 3rd set tiebreak! Would we get the same thing in 2014?
Check out highlights from this fun Kailua Night Doubles championship match!
