Chad Krager of Bay City, Mich., and Dennis Negrete won the 2010 National Paddleball Association national doubles championship April 18 at the Forest View Racquet Club in Arlington Hgts., Ill.
They were unbeaten in a round-robin field of five teams. In three of their four matches, they had to win a tiebreaker. Mike Wisniewski, the current national singles champion who played with Kevin McLaughlin against them, said: "Dennis shot the ball well from both sides of the court and actually played 50 to 60 percent of the back-wall shots from Chad's side of the court, including taking serves from both sides.
"Chad was phenomenal in making miraculous gets from everywhere on the court, while Dennis just roamed around swatting kills from everywhere else in the court" Wisniewski continued. A very nice combination ... they had great chemistry."
Said Negrete who has been playing PB about 10 years: "Krager on the forehand, Negrete on the backhand. But you never know what we'll throw at our opponents once the match begins.
"This is my first big-time win," Negrete went on. "I'm just glad Chad moved to Chicago. He's done some great work here keeping people interested in paddleball considering it's a big racquetball town."
Krager spends a considerable amount of time in the Chicago area and Negrete is from Elk Grove Village, Ill.
