Tally up another national tennis title for Joachim Nierfeld.
The Kelowna tennis pro teamed up with Vancouver’s Max Brown last weekend in Montreal to win the 45+ doubles title at the Canadian Senior National Championships.
Nierfeld and Brown defeated Martin Lemay and Mike O’Neill 6-3, 6-4 in the final.
Nierfeld and Brown went into the competition ranked No. 2, while Lemay and O’Neill were No. 1.
With the latest result, Nierfeld has now won 12 national tennis titles in singles and doubles combined—five outdoor and seven indoor championships.
Nierfeld, 45, also competed in the 40+ division with Julian Heine from Vancouver and finished as the runners-up.
The two B.C. players reached the final before losing 6-2 and 6-0 to Steven Deakin and Guillaume Gauthier.
Nierfeld is a local tennis pro who also manages and operates the Kelowna Futures Tennis Tournament each summer.
The 2015 professional ITF event was the fourth year in a row the city has hosted the tournament.
