From 2000 - 2010, the Blue Moon Men's Night Doubles was saw some high level tennis, particularly in the final rounds of the event. The likes of Minh Le & Wei You Su, Michael Bruggemann & Eric Chen, Dennis Lajola & Ikaika, & a few others were in firm ownership of the Kailua Crown throughout the decade. Some teams were hot on their heals but always fell short in the last match or two. However, in 2011, one of those teams would appear tired of being the bridesmaid!

In 2011, Mikael Maatta & Jan Tribler came into the Kailua Night Doubles with one mission: Win it all! The former Sharks came up short of the title multiple times, mostly to their rival team Minh Le & Wei-Yu Su. They also were one set away in 2009 but were outlasted by a red hot Dennis Lajola & Ikaika Jobe. However, 2011, these boys came into the event as the clear favorite to win the championship this time around, which would potentially be there first ever Blue Moon Men's Night Doubles title.
Their opponents that stood in their way was Ikaika Jobe & Thomas Shubert, two eventual Punahou School tennis coaches. Ikaika at this point had won the Kailua tournament the previous two years with former partner Dennis Lajola. In 2011, Dennis spent his summer on the pro tour so Ikaika needed a partner. He called on good friend & BYU college tennis stud Thomas Shubert to help him try to attain the 3-peat. At that point, Thomas had never been this deep in the Kailua draw, let alone compete in this event too often in the past. However, he was not phased by the pressure as him & Ikaika had their way with the rest of the main draw competition.

Would this be the night for youth to once again reign supreme or would this be the night for Maatta & Tribler to finally walk on the stage as the Kailua Night Doubles champions?

Check out highlights from this fun & contrasting contest from the 2011 Kailua Men's Night Doubles.
