Throughout the Kailua Men's Night Doubles over the decades, there have been many great rivalries in tournament history. One of them being Minh Le & Wei-Yu vs. Mikael Maatta & Jan Tribler. These duos have faced each other multiple times in the previous 2 decades with the head to head virtually split today. Each time these two teams matched up in the draw, you knew you were in for a championship level fight, whether it was the finals or the first round.

In 2013, then 2-time & reigning Kailua Men's Night Doubles champions Mikael Maatta & Jan Tribler were doing nothing but continuing their successful partnership as they dominated the Triple crown of tennis once again that summer. Coming into Kailua, this team had momentum that only the top teams in the state could possibly rival. However, once again though, they would run into their long time rival team Minh Le & Wei-Yu Su. Minh & Wei-Yu were trying to come back from a tough loss in the championship round of the Blue Moon event in 2012. Coming into the 2013 edition of the tournament, these guys had one goal in mind: exact revenge over their rivals & reign as Kailua champions once again!

At the time of this match, Minh Le & Wei-Yu lead the head to head between these teams 3-1 but it felt like the tide was starting to turn for Mikael & Jan. Despite this being only a Semi Final, this match had the quality & atmosphere of a final! Would the lefty duo dish out some pay back & go on to try for their 4th Kailua crown or would the former HPU Sharks keep the good times rolling & try for their 3rd consecutive Kailua title?

Check out highlights from this memorable Semi Final showdown!
