    Marvin Colley, unseeded, reached the men’s 40 singles final. He also teamed with Brandon Blankenbaker to reach the 35 doubles final. Marvin and Brandon took out the 2nd and 4th seeds along the way.

    Neither Perianu nor Colley were members of a USTA national team this year. Perianu was a member of the Suzanne Lenglen Cup team in 2018 which finished second. Smashey and Blankenbaker were members of the W35 and M35 USA teams respectively in 2019.

    Jenny Klitch and Andrea Rice, both of whom are in the 50s, reached the 45 doubles final. They won the 50 clay courts in 2019. Klitch was a member of the W45 team which won bronze in Miami Beach while Rice was a member of the gold medal winning W50 team this year in Lisbon, Portugal.

  • Individual Draws Now Posted for ITF Young Seniors World Championships

    Posted on October 24, 2019 2:03 pm by Carolyn Nichols 1 Comment

    The Individual World Championships are open to any player who has an IPIN and is of the correct age (35+, 40+ or 45+). Singles, doubles and mixed are available for one entry fee. However, there are a disappointingly small number of American entrants in this event. The USTA does award USTA ranking points (normally the same points as for a Category I National, though I don’t know how many are being awarded this year).

    The draws can be found here. Doubles draws aren’t yet posted but singles draws are posted now.

  • USA Finishes at Top of Five Round Robin Groups; All Women’s Teams into Semis in Miami

    The USA Young Seniors are taking the home team advantage seriously in Miami Beach: Five of the six teams have won their round robin groups and all three women’s teams are into the semis. All six teams play tomorrow.

    The women’s and men’s 35s teams cruised to victory today; the men beat Chile 3/0 and the women beat Turkey 3/0. The 35 women are in the semis; the 35 men play the quarterfinals tomorrow against the #2 seeds.

    The women’s 40s and 45s teams also advanced to the final, but more dramatically.

    The women’s 40 team beat Netherlands 2/1 and Millie Yablonicky, the #1 player reported that it was a match spanning 8.5 hours! Lizl Kotz won handily at #2; Millie had to overcome a 64 41 deficit, winning the second set in a ‘breaker and taking the third a bit more easily. Deb Higa and Carolina Blouin fell in three tough sets but the team still advances to the semis.

    The women’s 45s team came from behind to beat Germany 2/1. Julie Cass lost a tough 3-setter to start the tie; Nancy Hilliard won a tight 2-setter to level the tie and Cass/Tracie Currie won another tough match to clinch the tie and send the final USA women’s team into the semis.

  • Young Seniors Miami: Opening Ceremonies & Draws

    Posted on October 20, 2018 7:45 pm by Carolyn Nichols 1 Comment

    The ITF Young Seniors World Championships (tennis) takes place in Miami Beach, Florida from Sunday October 21 to Friday October 26 at Flamingo Park and at the Miami Beach Tennis Academy at North Park.

    107 teams from over 30 countries will compete in the 35, 40 and 45 men’s and women’s divisions to win the senior Fed and Davis Cup. In fact, the format used for these competitions is the same as the new Davis Cup format (other than the numbers of teams, which varies by Cup). The USA sent teams to compete in the Men’s 35 (Italia), 40 (Tony Trabert), 45 (Dubler) and Women’s 35 (Suzanne Lenglen), 40 (Young) and 45 (Margaret Court) competitions.

    It’s VERY hot in Miami Beach. I went down for the day and it was nearly 90 with humidity to match. The winners of the divisions will have to be fit! In each division teams are drawn into round robin groups of three or four. The winners of each group then goes into a knockout round to determine the champion. The format of each tie is two singles, played consecutively (#2 singles, then #1 singles), followed by doubles. All matches in the round robin competition are two out of three tiebreak sets. Matches start early, but some cups are played starting at 8:30 am; others start after 1pm. There are lighted courts at both facilities.

    Lucky in Love is a title sponsor for this event. Bethanie Mattel-Sands, who is sponsored by Lucky in Love, was on hand all day, first to take part in an exhibition with wheelchair players and then to watch the opening ceremonies.

    Here are screenshots of the various round robin groups…I’ll add links to the draws once available.

  • USA Margaret Court Cup Team Takes Bronze in Cape Town

    Posted on March 24, 2017 8:06 am by Carolyn Nichols 1 Comment

    Cape Town, South Africa 

    It took seven hours, seven sets played, overcoming cramping, windy conditions and their determined French opponents, but USA edged France 2/1 to medal in that division for the first time since 2014. 

    Jennifer Dawson started fast but ended up in a dogfight against a persistent retriever, and the tricky wind before winning 61 46 64. Julie Cass was then edged by another steady and quick Frenchwoman 64 76. 

    So it came down to the doubles played brilliantly by Julie Cass/Debbie Spence-Nasim. They won 60 63. Nancy Hilliard gave Debbie an excellent warm up. 


    The USA Women’s 35 team finished 4th, the 40s 6th. 


    The Italia Cup team beat Canada today to finish 9th. 


    The Trabert Cup team finished yesterday. 

    The Dubler Cup fell 3/0 to Great Britain.

    Posted on March 23, 2017 3:23 pm by Carolyn Nichols 2 Comments

    USA Trabert Cup finished play today on a high note, beating Sweden 2/1to finish 7th. 


    The USA Dubler Cup team will face #3 seeded Great Britain in the 5/6 playoff after beating Australia 2/0 today. 


    I watched a bit of Eoin’s match.. he played great against a very good Aussie. And I heard Curtis was clinical at #2 singles. 

    I ran into Ross Duncan and Marcia Pepe, practicing for tomorrow’s playoff match. 

    I also walked quite a ways along the coast, as it got cloudier, and finally started raining. Photos coming later. And I found Tab 😊.

    The USA Tony Trabert Cup beat Canada 3/0. Since Canada got a point off of the top seed in the USA’s group, Germany, this bodes well for tomorrow’s final round robin match. Mark Tepes at #2 beat Jason Christie 63 64; at #1, Chris Groer clinched the win with a hard fought three setter over Brian Ahlberg 61 26 76 and Michael Chang/Chris Sanni won the doubles point over Christie/Cameron Cross 64 76.

    The Dubler Cup team beat India 3/0, assuring themselves of at least a 2nd place finish in their group. Curtis Dunn was today’s workhorse, winning at #2 singles and combining with Gerrit Disbergen to take the doubles point. Eoin Collins clinched the tie with a straight set win at #1 singles.

  • Netherlands beats US Women 2-1: Women’s 45 Advance; Men’s 35, 40 Win; Canada Upsets Men’s 45 Team

    Posted on March 19, 2017 7:46 pm by Carolyn Nichols 1 Comment

    What were the odds that all three USA women’s teams would play a Dutch team first round in South Africa? Not too high I would think, but that’s what happened, and the Dutch won two of the three contests, with only the Court Cup surviving against the Netherlands.

    The Lenglen Cup (35s) fell 2/1 to the Netherlands, with the match coming down to the doubles. Kaysie Smashey won at #2 singles 63 62 against Kim Kilsdonk, but Julie Thu fell to tDutch #1 Olga Kalyuzhnaya 64 76. Thu/Smashey USA reigning 35 Clay and 30 Hard champions, took on Kalyuzhnaya and Andrea Van Den Hurk and fought hard but lost 64 46 61. Thanks Kaysie for the photo.

    In the Young Cup, rookie Milli Yablonicky fell to Stephanie Gomperts 63 63. Captain and Cup veteran Simona Bruetting took on Mireille Bink but lost 63 36 61. Bruetting and Tracie Currie salvaged the doubles point with a 63 63 win over Bink/Caroline De Vries. Thanks Simona for the photo.

    The men’s Italia Cup team (35) got a 3/0 win over Mozambique. (Thanks Francois Castejon for the photo.) Ross Duncan at #2 and Marico Pepe at #1 won easily; Francois Castejon and Robert Kuseski, making their Cup debuts lost a mere three games.

    The Trabert Cup Team won 3/0 vs Portugal. Michael Chang (not THAT Michael Chang…but still a very good player) won at #2; Chris Groer clinched the win in three sets at #1 and Chris Sanni/Mark Tepes won the doubles point.

    The Dubler Cup team fell 2/1 to a tough Canadian team. Gerritt Disbergen, a So African native, fell to Benjamin Woo and Taras Beyko, who has won the world championships more than once, played flawlessly to take out Eoin collins. Collins and Dana Gill won the doubles point though over Dave Bell/Julien Heine.
