Locals Finalists in Damp Weekend

Whitlow, Iannuzzi, Young, Wiederhorn Beat the Heat at SC Closed Sr. Clay Courts in Litchfield

PAWLEYS ISLAND SC (TENNIS E-News via TennisLink) -- HHIslanders Keith Whitlow in singles and Hank Iannuzzi/Bryce Young in doubles made comebacks Sunday to battle through high temps and humidity for third-set final victories in the South Carolina Senior State Closed Tennis Championships. Bluffton's Bob Wiederhorn won a straight-setter singles title. HHI's Eddie Goodson and Fred Carrillo lost in singles finals.

After losing the first day and a half to rain, players played back-to-back no-ad and third-set match tiebreaks until the finals. The mid-July weather on autumn equinox weekend took out more than a couple players, including one who collapsed after a match and required EMS treatment.

Whitlow, the #2 seed in Men's 60s, came back from a set down to defeat #1 Mike Sprengelmeyer 6-7, 6-1, 6-4. Top seeds Iannuzzi and Young won their 60s doubles championship in a third set 9-7 tiebreak over Bud Goodrich/Doyle Loftis. (Score posted was 6-2, 7-6, 7-6(7), but we know that's not quite correct.) #2 Wiederhorn took the measure of #1 Joe Roberts 7-5, 6-1 for the Men's 75s championship.

Goodson upset top seed Larry Rizzo 3-6, 6-3, 1-0(5) in the Men's 55s semifinals Saturday but went down to #2 seed Henry Dowd 6-0, 6-0 in the Sunday final. Carrillo took out 70s #1 seed Johnnie Williams, who retired at 7-5, 4-1 in the semis. The HHIslander lost in the final 6-0, 6-1 to #3 Neil Vroegop.

HHI's #1-seeded Tom Jilly won his Men's 45s semifinal, but defaulted the finals for heat exhaustion. Islander Pat Child took an injury retirement down 6-4, 1-0 in the Men's 50s semifinals. He and Whitlow, #1 in the 50s doubles, won their Sunday semifinals, but defaulted the final.

October in New Orleans

Spring Lake Odd Couples Will Be Headed to Southern Mixed Doubles Championships

HILTON HEAD ISLAND SC (TENNIS E-News) -- SL The Odd Couples came within a match tiebreak of the South Carolina 6.0 Mixed Doubles State Championship. Now, the Spring Lake team, captained by Pat Kenworthy, will be representing the state at the Southern Sectionals in New Orleans.

Mixed Doubles Format

Adult Team Tennis Gets Ready for Fall Season; Combo Rating Levels 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, 7.0

HILTON HEAD ISLAND SC (TENNIS E-News) -- The Adult USA Team Tennis (or is it now USTA?) is setting up plans for its fall season that will begin in late October, playing a mixed doubles format, report coordinators Ray Hardy and Tim Ryan on HHI and Bob Brown in Bluffton. The league, which emphasizes fun and health benefits, is adopting a new format this year.

Last year there were five teams competing -- four at Chaplin Park and one in Bluffton. A turnout at least that large is anticipated. The new team format will be combined mixed doubles levels of 5.5, 6.0, 6-5 and 7.0, aiming to adapt to the fewer numbers of 2.5 and 4.0 players compared to 3.0 and 3.5.

Cost for player registration at Chaplin will be $36, which includes TennisLink fee. The $32 fee portion will go to the respective Public Tennis, Inc. branch -- HHI or Bluffton. A format of 10-game pro sets with ad scoring is planned. Mid-week after work practices are planned for Bluffton players on the high school courts. A $39 fee covers league and court fees for Blufftonians.

Matches will be scheduled on Saturdays with the possibility of Sunday afternoon matches because of holidays and tournaments. Each team will play each other twice -- one home, one away. The planned season is Oct. 27 through Jan. 13., with bye weekends 11/17-11/18 (Turkey Tourney), 11/24-11/25 (Thanksgiving), 12/22-12/23 (Christmas), 12/29-12/30 (New Year's).

If you are interested in participating please reply by e-mail -- include your rating -- to chaplinroundrobin@hotmail.com or, in Bluffton, contact Activities Director Robert Brown at 290-2833 for more information..

If anyone is bumped up in the new ratings issued in December, it will not affect their right to play at the old rating through this season.

Wexford Topspinners Drop One in Semifinals

Spring Lake The Odd Couples Lose by TSMT in State Mixed Doubles Finals

CHARLESTON SC (TENNIS E-News via TennisLink) -- It almost always comes down to a third-set match tiebreak, doesn't it? And some day USTA will use part of member dues increase to hire someone smart enough to provide a score for those TSMTs other than "1-0".

In any case, SL The Odd Couples lost a 10-pointer that cost them the Senior 6.0 title in the USTA League South Carolina State Mixed Doubles Championships. A similar fate came to the Senior 7.0 Wexford Topspinners in today's semifinals.

The Spring Lake 6.0s, captained by Charles Costabell, had lost their first match Saturday morning, but came back with two wins Sunday and picked up a wildcard into the semifinals. There, the Odd Couples handled the Columbia Summer Slices, taking two TSMTs plus one court in straight sets. In the championship match to earn a trip to Southerns, Spring Lake split Courts 1 and 2 with the Lexington Old Racquets in straight sets. On Court 3, Lexington won the first set; the Lakers came back to take the second, then the Old Racquets won the match tiebreak, ah, 1-0. Sure. Like they played one point. Damn, dumb score reporting!

The Wexford 'Spinners, captained by Janet Goldin, were 3-0 going into the semifinals. That string ended in a 1-0 TSMT on Court 1, sending the Lexington Tennis Complex team to Southerns in Cary NC Oct. 20-22. The chance of a wildcard is always open at Southerns. With nine states sending champion teams, a 10th is added to create two even groupings for the opening two days of round robin play.

In a couple of also-rans running, Columbia #3 Caughman Road won the Adult 6.0s, not losing a team match throughout the tournament. In 8.0 Adult bracket, wildcard Columbia/Southeast Park Mixed Mayhem lived up to its name by winning the semifinals, but losing in the finals.

Here are today's results:

(Abbreviations: AATL = Aiken Area; CTL = Columbia; FTA = Foothills/Greenville; GATA = Greenwood; GSTL = Grand Strand/Myrtle Beach; LATA = Lexington Area; LCTA = Lowcountry/Charleston Area; PD = PeeDee/Florence; UPTA = Upper Piedmont/Greenville; SATA = Spartanburg; YCTA = York County/Rock Hill)
