What a weekend (and Monday) at the PPA Austin Open, which wrapped up after a stormy weekend in the skies and on the courts at Elevation Athletic Club in Lakeway, Texas.

Catherine Parenteau and Anna Leigh Waters Lose – For the First Time EVER
It’s kind of crazy that this duo has never lost a match. They’ve been playing together for nearly nine months and every single tournament they play, they win. Up until Monday, that is.
In an epic four-game battle, Rachel Rohrabacher and Anna Bright beat Catherine and Anna Leigh on Championship Monday, 11-4, 3-11, 11-6, and 11-8 in a match that didn’t have much dinking at all. If there was a ball to speed up, all four players were more than willing.
The best part of the match by far was the end. In the last game, Bright and Rohrabacher got stuck on 10 points for a long time. It took them nine match point attempts to finally get the job done.
This win for Rohrabacher and Bright solidifies their standing as the No. 2 women’s doubles team in the sport right now. Parenteau and Waters are still the gold standard…
