2017 was a banner year for the Hawaii Men's Triple Crown of Tennis as the Night Doubles scene saw a high level of tennis played back to back to back event that summer. Everybody turned out to play in what would be one of the most competitive years in recent history. Like always, the Triple Crown would kick off with the annual Oahu Club Men's Night Doubles, which also added a mixed doubles division for the first time in event history in 2017 as well.

That summer, a familiar name burst onto the Night Doubles scene that we would probably see for many years to come. His name was Andre Ilagan, partnering up with one of Punahou School's top coaches & former ATP touring pro Thomas Shubert. At that time, Andre had just come off winning the HHSAA Varsity Tennis State Championships as a junior for W.R. Farrington High School. He had never been this far in a Night Doubles event before but Andre was looking forward to possibly mark the beginning of his era in the Triple Crown. His partner, Thomas Shubert, was also no slouch. Thomas was serving as one of the high school varsity tennis coaches for Punahou & was looking to get back into the tournament scene again in Hawaii. He had also formerly played on the pro tour where he had the pleasure of trading strikes with the likes of Pete Sampras, Serena & Venus Williams, Sam Querry, & many others along the way. As the 7th seeded team, Andre & Thomas worked their way through the Oahu Club draw & eventually found themselves in the championship round.

Their opponent's were considered veterans of the Night Doubles circuit at that point. Hendrik Bode & Yann Renault represented the Fin of Hawaii Pacific University, both serving on the Men's Tennis Team coaching staff (Hendrik heading & Yann assisting). Hendrik had already won an Oahu Club Night Doubles crown back in 2012 & he was looking to add another one to his trophy mantle. His partner Yann, was also a veteran of the big moments in tournaments. The former HPU Shark may have not won a Night Doubles crown at that point but he was a member of HPU's Division 2 College Tennis National Championship team back in 2016, making him a clutch player to play alongside during the finals of any tennis event.

This meeting would consist of two, in a way, surprise teams to contest in the finals as higher seeds like the likes of former Oahu Club Night Doubles champs Ikaika Jobe & Jeff Fitch were knocked out little than anticipated. This would make for a wide open Final match with both teams realizing their early chance to grab a Night Doubles crown for 2017!
