It did not rain...  

There were many close matches on this seasonably warm day. In particular the MXD teams were closely matched, with several tiebreakers and a number of come-from-behind winners. The French menu of jus d'orange, croissant, patisserie sandwiches, escargots, salad de fruits and macarons francaise was enjoyed by all under the large tent after the competition.

Pickles were sweet, toasted bagels and creme cheese tasted great, and the organic deli sandwiches were good too.  Chocolate chip cookies appeared for desert. In honor of tourney namesake "NY Open" a big apple was served. And in honor of the chef and creator of these tasty tournament menus over the past 5-years, an award was presented by Marla to Gretchen H.  Enthusiastic, competitive tennis was also played on this wintery day. Winners were Rebecca W and Ravi P and Finalists were Chany S and Peter I.  Consolation was won by Tess B & Eric B.
