Tennis for Adult/Senior Men (30-90)

Two Clicks to 700+ Tournaments

News & Information

Danger Still!  The potential affiliation with the ITF (with burdens on tournaments) is still a live issue.  The Adult/Senior Competition Committee has initiated two new surveys (for players and for tournament directors) and they may be meeting during the US Open to discuss the issue.  Click here to read my latest (critical) editorial and here for the prior (May) editorial or here to email Committee Chair Kathy Langer with your views.

Click here to view the (likely) 2011 schedule for the Florida Grand Prix and the Palm Springs January schedule.

The following players will compete October 11-16 in Antalya, Turkey in the Super Seniors Team Competition:

Von Cramm Cup (60): Larry Turville, Brian Cheney, Padg Bolton, Neal Newman (Captain);
Britannia Cup (65): Hugh Thomson, Jimmy Parker, William Bethard, Ken Robinson (Captain);
Jack Crawford Cup (70): Rudy Hernando, Fred Farzanegan (Captain), Lester Sack, Joe Bachmann;
Bitsy Grant Cup (75): King Van Nostrand, John Powless, Gordon Hammes (Captain), Neil Hurlbut;
Gardnar Mulloy Cup (80): Russell Seymour (Captain), Clem Hopp, Jack Bradshaw, Joe Russell.


Making doubles draws at the same time as singles is more widespread and more successful — because doubles play can begin on day one (when singles byes are common) and players can better calibrate their travel.  Click here to read a full analysis.
