Jovin & Kiran Chaudhry Compete at OFSAA
Earlier this week, Kiran and Jovin Chaudhry '26 competed in the OFSAA championships for Open Mixed Doubles at the Sobeys Stadium on York University’s campus. Kiran has qualified for OFSAA in the past, having competed in her inaugural CISAA and OFSAA championships in Grade 9 in singles before a season-ending leg injury slowed her down. Last spring in Grade 11, she won CISAA Gold in singles.
Meanwhile, her brother Jovin helped his U16 team qualify for CISAA in Grade 9, where they won a CISAA Bronze medal and experienced the best finish ever in CDS’s U16 boys tennis history. In his Grade 10 year, the U16 boys team qualified again and placed 6th overall. Both Kiran and Jovin played singles for CDS throughout their high school career, as well as outside of school.

Now in Grade 12, they decided to compete together in mixed doubles for the first time. Joined by their CDS coaches, Ms. Lee and Mr. Simmonds, they enjoyed an exciting few days of tennis this week, ultimately placing 4th and earning Antique Bronze medals.
Having won their quarter-final match in a tiebreaker Tuesday, they advanced to the semi-final round where they played the #1 seed in their draw. Although Jovin and Kiran fought hard and forced some very close deuce points, they lost that match and moved on to the consolation bracket.
On Wednesday, the pair rebounded with a decisive 4-2, 4-3 victory to advance to the consolation finals, where they fought hard once again to determine third and fourth place.
According to their coaches Mr. Simmonds and Ms. Lee, Kiran and Jovin worked together brilliantly and made some textbook doubles plays to win key points. Although their final match did not end in their favour, both athletes made CDS proud and were fantastic ambassadors for their school and for the sport of tennis.
Congratulations Jovin and Kiran!
