Twelve matches weren’t enough to decide a winner between IMG Bollettieri Tennis Academy and longtime rival T Bar M Tennis Academy.

After a 6-6 deadlock for the championship of the PPI Challenge Cup, T Bar M’s 16s utilized an outstanding display of attacking doubles to take the tiebreaker 10-4 and win the title.

The IMG Bollettieri team included (roster changed mid-tournament due to injuries and prior obligations): Alex Albarici, Beatrice Cedermark, Chen Chaoyi, Mary Beth Hurley, Balaji Jothishankar, Ian Laster, Carter Lin, Alfonso Montoya, Tommy Mylnikov, Natella Nabieva, Jillian Rooney, Mariya Shishkina, David Sofaer, Alex Stiteler and Anish Wijeshinge.

In this college-style team format, IMG Bollettieri started strong with a 11-1 win over St. Stephens from Texas on Friday. On Saturday, IMG Bollettieri defeated Lifetime Tennis 8-4 of California in the morning and a 7-5 win against Bill Clark Tennis of Florida in the afternoon.

In the championship, IMG Bollettieri fought back from a 1-3 deficit, with Alex Stiteler winning her singles match to knot it at 6-6. With T Bar M getting to 6 first, they had the choice of ages to play in the tiebreaker and chose the 16s, who downed IMG for the championship.
