We are guaranteed to have one past champ (Boyd 2014) or Varun (2018) in the 2019 Goldenball Championship as these two will meet in one semi-final. Varun raced out to an quick 6-0 first set to beat Eric 0 and 4, while Boyd, rounding into form just in time for playoffs, won a tight first set 7-5, then ran away with a 6-0 2nd set. Rahber took out Tom, battling back from a 4-2 first set deficit with 7 straight games to eek out a tight first set, and despite the same 2nd set score, Rahber was firmly in control in 2nd set with a 6-4, 6-4 win. Good seasons for our 2 public educators Tom and Eric, and Dhana who steadily improved throughout season to win East regular season division.
Finally, Tri battled through qualies and as 8 seed will play marathon Will Millar, with Rahber icing up and waiting for the winner. Semi-finals will be played by 8/25 and Final will be played on of BEFORE Labor Day Weekend.
