Hat Trick For Salokas and Young in San Diego
Maloney Sisters Make 2009 Debut With Big Win
The clouds parted on Sunday in San Diego, providing a picture-perfect back drop for the Evolution Home Theatre San Diego Smash, where Donny “The Golden Bullet” Young and Marty Salokas (Hermosa Beach, CA) picked up their third tour win, defeating Joe “The Bronze Bomber” Testa and his new partner, Billy Lambo (Hermosa Beach, CA), 8-4, in the Men’s Pro division. Salokas and Young remain the point series leaders in this years tour and were outspoken in their desire to take on the reigning national champs Matteo Marighella and Alex Mingozzi at the 2009 National Beach Tennis Championship, on Labor Day Weekend, in Long Beach, NY.
The Women’s Pro division saw the return of the Maloney Sisters—Lisa and Laura (San Diego, CA), who made quick work of Lee Whitewell and Joslyn Burkett (San Diego, CA), winning 8-3. Defending champs Lisa and Laura, undefeated in pro competition since September 2007, remain the number one-ranked Women’s team, but trail former champ Nadia Johnston and her partner Nicole Melch in this year’s point standings.
