Olarte and Tim Gonzalez (far right) won the championship over Pee Wee Castro and Ray Lopez, 25-22. QUEENS, N.Y. - Michael Olarte thought he'd have to forfeit his first round doubles match as his partner Givanni Vasquez wasn't able to play. He was fortunate enough to pick up an exceptional replacement in Tim Gonzalez, and the new team was able to put together an amazing run, winning the championship over defending champs Pee Wee Castro and Ray Lopez, 25-22. Earlier on Sunday, Castro dominated the Men's Pro Singles final with a 25-6 win over Han-Ching Lin. Brenda Pares-Dubose captured the Women's Pro Singles title with a 25-7 win over Karen McConney.
