With no Matt Wright, Riley Newman is teaming up with James Ignatowich. We have to assume Ignatowich was unsure of Mcguffin’s injury status which is why he decided to join forces with Newman. Some other interesting partnerships include Navratil/Hewett (former BLQK teammates who have had some spats on the singles court recently) and new MLP Night Owl teammates Collin Johns/Dekel Bar who both reside in the Austin area and know each other well.
On the women’s side we have Anna Bright teaming up with Vivienne David and Catherine Parenteau partnering with Andrea Koop. Both Bright and Parenteau normally trade off playing with Anna Leigh Waters so it will be interesting to see if they can both make it to championship Saturday without her.
Last but not least in mixed we have Andrea Koop pairing up with Riley Newman and Lucy Kovalova playing with Dekel Bar. Bar has had a down year by his standards but has the opportunity to turn that around with a good showing this week.
