Wimbledon: For those of us who want it all on line, here's a link to the official Wimbledon site which has scores and more.
Summer Membership: Summer membership has begun. Summer members should try to come to round robins, Sunday pick-up doubles, and parties like the one that the club hosts on the 4th of July. The club is quite sociable, especially at the tennis parties. We would like to remind summer members that you are invited to participate in the Arranged Pairs Mixed Doubles Tournament.
Women's Singles Tournament: The finals of the women's singles tournament took place at the club last Saturday, and boyohboy, was it some match. Molly Downer played against Sarah Carter. Sarah won in three tough sets: long points, long games, lotsa deuces, lotsa drama. The match lasted three hours. This match was one of the most intense in the club's recent history, and a great display of competitiveness, athleticism, and heart. Congratulations to Molly Downer who played wonderfully, and to Sarah Carter, the club's singles champ.
