Silver Racquet Weekend

November 1st – 4th 2007

Force de Mjolnir !
 

    The 2007-2008 North American fixtures list commenced last weekend (Nov 1 - 4th) at the New York Racquet & Tennis Club with the US Amateur Singles and Doubles competition, along with the Silver Rackets Doubles. The organizers ran a well run event that started with a huge veal chop and a wonderful wine selection for 30 at the Stag dinner.

    The Stag Dinner was perhaps the quickest in history (53 minutes) due to the Club party being held on the second floor and there was no shortage of beautiful "crumpet" upstairs. Needless to say, the stag broke down quickly and it was now game on! Peter Pell, by all accounts, has quite a Rolodex of names of the fairer sex. The Saturday evening Ball was also a resounding success and ended up in the Grill with people dancing the night away.

    For the Silver Rackets final, World Champion Harry Foster and Robin Geffen won in a walkover. In the US Amateur Singles, Mark Farmiloe (Queen's Club and Mjolnir) forced a 5th game after being down 2-0 and beat Thorold Barker (NYR&T). In a match that took every bit of 2 and a half hours, Thorold suffered from a series of painful cramping sessions throughout the match .

    On the US Amateur Doubles front, Guy Devereux and partner Barker cruised to a 3-0 win over Foster and Geffen.
