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 »
Steve Hufford fought off three match points and a spirited effort by “underdog-on-paper” Jim Zug last weekend to win the Price Cup 6/4 3/6 6/5. Perhaps we can appeal to Mr. Zug’s loquacious side and get him to submit an eyewitness account?!?
Thank you very much for the Price Family for hosting this wonderful tournament!
The Price family are kindly hosting the honorable Price Cup this weekend at Prince’s Court. The Price Cup is a Prince’s Court members only tournament for players handicap 20-40.

Washington defeated Philadelphia today 4 matches to 1 and earned a spot in Sunday’s Final.
It came down to the final match of the day to determine who our opponent would be. New England had to win their Senior’s match against New York in straight sets to advance and they did 6-5, 6-3! So it is deja vu all over again and a rematch of last year’s final.

10:00AM #4 pairs Kris Motz/Ryan Carey v. Shawn Herlihy/Jeff Horine on the West Court

Friday kicks off at 10:30AM with some great doubles matches in the Pro-Am as the Pros team up with Prince’s Court Whitney Cup players. Should be worth checking out. Click here for the Pro-Am schedule.
Then the real action starts at 3PM with our own beloved Phil Shannon taking on Newport’s Rich Smith. Followed by Head Professional Ivan Ronaldson trying to “back” into a win against Newport’s former head professional Josh Bainton.
The Cocktail Party (RSVP required) whets your whistle at 6PM with former Washington/NY professional Will Simonds taking on Newport’s senior professional Tony Hollins. Followed by a match that will you seeing red, as two redheads Philly’s Barney Tanfield and NY’s Andrew Fowler battle it out for the no doubt increasingly rowdy spectators.
This should be good.
Hoang/McCray Win The "C" Division
Prince’s Court sent a rather large envoy to the Jimmy Dunn Tournament in Philadelphia this past weekend as Temple counted 10 members along with countless other ex-pats. Play was competitive all weekend and provided for entertaining viewing. The big news is Vu Hoang and Jake McCray won the “C Division” in an epic 6/5 6/5 match against Shields/Yager!! I believe this was their first time playing in the Jimmy Dunn, and now that they have Dunn it, can they do it again? Stay Tuned.
