On July 24th, the reigning champions of Mylan WTT, the Washington Kastles, came to Austin to challenge the Austin Aces in Gregory Gym.

The first set was mixed doubles. Aces' players Alla Kudryavtseva and Teymuraz Gabashvili took on the 2015 Wimbledon Mixed Doubles Champions, Martina Hingis and Leander Paes. While Kudryavtseva and Gabashvili put up a good fight, they could not compete with Hingis' well-placed volleys and lost 3-5.

Up next was women's doubles. Kudryavtseva and Nicole Gibbs, of the Austin Aces, played Hingis and Anastasia Rodionova. While many of the games were close, the deciding points didn't go in the Aces' favor. Kudryavtseva and Gibbs fell to the Kastles 1-5. The Aces trailed 4-10 after two sets.

Women's singles was the next set. Gibbs of the Aces played Rodionova. With some unforced errors by Rodionova and amazing forehands by Gibbs, Gibbs won the set for the Aces 5-2. The Kastles' lead lessened to 12-9 after three sets.

Next was men's doubles. Jarmere Jenkins and Gabashvili for the Aces played against Paes and Sam Querrey. While the men left everything on the court, Paes hit some great volleys and Querrey hit really powerful serves. The Aces' men's doubles team was bested by the Kastles' 5-2. After four sets the Kastles were up 17-11 with singles left.

Lastly was men's singles. Gabashvili fought it out against Querrey. Once again, it was all left up to the serves of both men. Querrey ended up capitalizing on Gabashvili's errors, winning 5-3. The Kastles win 22-14.
