One highlight of the annual Men's Night Doubles tournament in Kailua everyone looks forward to is to see who would matchup with who in the 1st round of the grueling main draw. One week prior to the main draw, the best of the best local talent battle it out in the infamous Kailua Night Doubles qualifying draw, which in itself is an event to watch. Coaches, juniors, former college players, & high school players litter the bracket, all fighting their way to earn a spot in the 1st round. In each final spot, a seeded team (usually favored to go far or win the tournament), is the qualifying teams reward to but usually seen as an honor to even make it that far. Some would say that the Kailua Night Doubles is like the Grand Slam of Hawaii Tennis.

In 2010, 3rd seeds Hendrik Bode & Michael Wojnarowicz were poised to make a run at the championship match. Hendrik brought his collegiate playing experience at HPU alongside Michael's collegiate experience as well as pro tennis analyzing from the Tennis Channel to the hallowed courts of the Windward Side. Their first round opponents were no slouch in a very scrappy high school team of Matthew Westmoreland & James Rivers. Representing Island Pacific Academy School & the Pac-5 (combination of Hawaii private schools in athletics), Matt & James were standouts in the annual HHSAA Varsity Tennis State Tournament. Both Matt & James finished among the top 3 in singles for their schools in the past so the audience was curious what these the. youths could do against experienced coaches/ former college players.

Check out highlights from this fun first round clash under the Kailua night sky!
