The 2013 Ladies’ Invitational was held on a bright and crisp spring weekend in Newport. 13 women competed, including newcomer Ruth Kelley from Philadelphia. Look for Ruth to figure prominently in women’s tennis in the future; with only six months’ experience, she exhibited tremendous talent. But for the present, experience was not to be denied, as the singles finalists, Sheila Reilly and Petra Napolitano, teamed up to take the doubles from Ruth and Amy MacMillan, overcoming a slow start to do so, 5/6, 6/1, 6/2. In the singles draw, Reilly, the #4 seed, reached the final when the #1 seed Brenda … Read the Full Story >

Well, the weather was wild and so was the tennis, from what I hear. Safely 3000 miles and three time zones away, I only have secondhand knowledge of what went on at the National Tennis Club this past weekend, but when the dust settled, the results were: Berry Packham, playing off a 26, beat Doug Spear (playing off a 17 handicap) 10-6 in the main draw singles final. For the record, Berry was down 2-7 to Ross Cann in the opening round and came back to win, 10-9. Way to go, Berry! First round losers went into a consolation. This… Read the Full Story >
