Deep into a tight third set of their Ann Arbor City Tournament final, Anju Caldwell of Saline and Chris McMican of Dearborn stood at the baseline briefly discussing strategy.

On the other side of the net, defending mixed doubles open division champions Betsey and Craig Capelli lightly bounced in place, awaiting another big Caldwell serve.

In front of a small crowd at the University of Michigan's Varsity Tennis Center, the foursome, who all play out of the Chippewa Club, were putting on an impressive display -- but you wouldn’t know it by looking at the daughters of Caldwell and the Capellis, who lounged on the court-side grass eating popsicles and engaging in general kids-at-a-sporting-event behavior.

What the distracted daughters may or may not have witnessed was a well-crafted comeback by the savvy Capellis, who are now back-to-back open division champs after prevailing 1-6, 6-2, 6-3.

“We were just hoping to win a game.” Craig Capelli said of their approach after being dominated in the first set.

The Capellis dug in and played their low error, high-percentage, counter-punching game; turning McMican and Caldwell’s considerable power against them and forcing an increasing amount of errors.
