Final Results

The 2009 Alaska State Doubles will be remembered for a couple things, Brandon Cuaresma's 3 Open divisions Wins with 3 different partners, Mixed Open with Michelle Poage, Men's 25+ Open with Keith Boice, and the Men's Open with Jesse Keaveny this feat has not been done for quite sometime (All 3 final matches went to tiebreakers with the Men's 25+ going 11-10).
