2025 Cheever Park Octoberfest Doubles

Cheever Park hosted another great one-wall doubles tournament October 5th. David Jensen and coach Ben Van Arsdale made the trip down the same duo who participated in the June tournament. David was attempting to redeem his B Doubles loss and Ben was defending his tournament title; however, this time the champs were flipped!

Ben advanced with his partner Patrick Cooke to the final for a finals rematch against hometown players Anthony La Rocca and Victor Sanchez. Ben and Patrick were able to continue their dominant form in the first game, but Anthony and Victor stepped up their aggresiveness in Game two to force a tiebreaker. The tiebreaker was a similar story as game two with Ben and Patrick unable to get the Cheever Park duo out of the front court and resulting in a 2nd place finish for Ben.

David teamed up with Bob Sharp out of Chicago to face a trio of good teams in the B Doubles. After narrowly surviving a tiebreaker scare against up and coming junior players in the first match of the day, David and Bob cruised past their second opponent to force a winner take all match against Jose Ornelas and Juan Altamirano. It looked like Bob and David were going to cruise to a victory after an easy game one victory, but Jose and Juan stormed back to take game two. The tiebreaker was as intense as it could get, but thanks to David's consistent playing and strong serving near the end, Bob and David prevailed as B champions!

Congrats David!!
