Motz Doubles Up The 40s
John Motz didn’t let age get the better of him as he won the US40s Singles Championship 6-1 6-5 over a hobbled Bill Barker. The finalists teamed up to take on Hufford/Zug in the Doubles Final. Hufford and Zug got off to a blistering start taking the first set 6/1 to the surprise on the gallery. However, Motz/Barker finally gained their second wind and in doing so gained the second set 6/5 in a tense final game. The third set saw the momentum continue as Motz/Barker played with a champion’s confidence. Motz doubled up his medal total by winning the doubles with Barker 1-6 6-5 6-1 . A splendid display of tennis on a splendid Sunday. The Finals were broadcasted live over the internet and the Finalists were awarded 40 oz. Budweisers at the end of the day to try to help in their post-match recovery.

Lysko Wins Burke Cup!
Prince’s Court welcomed players from Boston (Connors & Stockton), New York (Ziatyk), and from parts unknown (Bender) to the USCTA Level Championships for players with a handicap of 40-49, The Burke Cup. It became quite clear from the first match of the tournament that William Connors (affectionately dubbed “The Boston Strong Boy” by Temple) routed a travel-weary Mike Ziatyk and sent notice to the rest of the field that he was on a mission and would not be denied. The question was, who would have the game to stop him? Through many highly competitive matches over the course of the weekend, a challenger emerged, a Prince’s Court dark horse by the name of Greg Lysko. Read the rest of this entry »
