2021 PELL CUP REPORT by Mike Gooding What had angered the gods so much in order to place 2021 Pell Cup between Scylla and Charybdis, in our terms, a once in a hundred-year pandemic and a once in a thirty year hurricane. We had already waited a long two years since the last Pell Cup was held and as such, those tournament results had already faded from memory. There was a glimmer of hope in early May that we would be able to hold this year’s Pell Cup, with the dropping of restrictions that included playing without a mask and… Read the Full Story >

June 20, 2021, marked the eighth anniversary of International Tennis Day. There was plenty of on-court activity in the US and overseas both on Sunday, June 20, and Monday, June 21. Tennis players celebrated the day with continuous play that included handicap tournaments, singles and doubles matches, and lessons. We understand that there were some highly competitive matches and received several photos from Newport, Philadelphia, New York, Tuxedo, Ballarat, Paris, Bordeaux, and Fontainebleau. Needless to say, the courts were in full swing. Enjoy the photos and we look forward to celebrating tennis again next year, on Monday, June 20, 2022.

THE CHERRY BLOSSOM DOUBLES ‘18 By Ryan Carey As always, we theme the Cherry Blossom to the current year, which is “18”, but we decided to also have the sport of Jai Alai as a focus of the weekend. Jai Alai is the North American version of the game of Basque Pelota. Basque Pelota is a cousin of Court Tennis, and, just like Court Tennis, it was originally played in a courtyard with handball and paddle variations. However, in the mid-1800s, a curved basket with a sewn glove evolved as the equipment of choice and quickly became the popular style… Read the Full Story >

The T&R hosted the Jimmy Knott Memorial Singles; an event formerly known as the Boston A Invitational that was renamed in 1996 the year after Jimmy Knott won the event and passed away. This year’s event saw a slightly different format, with the tournament adopting a round robin style event. This meant that the players were guaranteed at least 3 competitive matches to help build match toughness as we move into the season. We were treated to some incredibly close matches with notable breakout performances from young up and comers, Ben Hudson and Pete Dickinson. On paper, Ben was the highest… Read the Full Story >

by Ryan Carey The Cherry Blossom Doubles ’17 was held at Prince’s Court from April 6th-9th. This year’s theme was a “game show” theme inspired by the cherry blossom-esque flowers that decorate the set of The Price Is Right. I called upon local guide Matty Ronaldson and went to LA for a taping of The Price Is Right to do some field research a few weeks prior. We didn’t get chosen to “come on down” but the episode we attended aired on April 6th (click here to watch the episode) and that officially kicked off this year’s Cherry Blossom. We… Read the Full Story >
