Defending champion Jeff Rydberg lost in the semifinal to Steve Byrd and Jen Corral after defeating Santa Barbara High alum Chris Gugliano in the quarterfinals.

The 2009 Lime and the Coconut hosted 80 players in the round robin, single elimination tournament. The event has become a fixture at East Beach and has established itself as one of the most popular co-ed tournaments in the area.
