Green going for #10 in Men's Doubles at the 2017 Canadian Racquetball Championships

Mike Green will play for his 10th Canadian Championship in Men's Doubles Tuesday at the 2017 Canadian Racquetball Championships in Brossard, Québec, when he and Trevor Webb face off against Nicolas Bousquet and Tommy Murray. Green and Webb reached the final by taking out the defending champions Samuel Murray and Pedro Castro, 15-13, 4-15, 11-5, in the semi-finals, while Bousquet and Murray - Tommy is Samuel's older brother - narrowly defeated Lee Connell and Nathaniel Husulak, 10-15, 15-13, 13-11.

Green first won Men's Doubles at the Canadian Nationals in 2000, when he played with Mike Ceresia. He's won it with four other partners since then: Tom O'Brien in 2004, Brian Istace in 2005, 2006 and 2007, Kris Odegard in 2010 and 2011, and Coby Iwaasa in 2013 and 2015. Thus, Webb - who is the current Canadian Boy's U18 Champion, as Iwaasa was when he and Green won - will be the sixth partner Green has won the title with.

The doubles competition concludes Tuesday. The singles competitions begin Wednesday and conclude Saturday.
