Our annual doubles tournament „Schleifchenturnier“ took place on Saturday, June 23rd!
There weren’t as many players there as in the past, but everyone was in a great mood and with a little more than 20 players, we were looking forward to a great afternoon of doubles.
As always, everyone was paired with another player in every round and Bernd’s fancy program made sure both sides were evenly matched!

match-fixing?
more warming up
some are quite relaxed before a game
… and some prefer to remain anonymous
the hall we played in
more anonymity

someone’s really happy to start playing
already tired
… and hungry
spectators and fans were there
…honourable guests as well
happy guests
and lots of stretching
some had lots of fun on court
some were tired and decided to head for the bench mid-game
nice of her to get down to the photographer’s level
four thumbs up
