USTA/Middle States Hall of Fame Inductee – Charles Oliver by Joshua M USTA/Middle States Hall Of Fame Inductee – Charles Oliver By Joshua M. Anderson When Charles Oliver was 8 years old, he played in a tennis match. Whether he won or lost it, he must he liked it, because he played tennis for another 65 years. For most of those years, he played it very well. While he was still in high school, it became clear that Oliver was a top-notch player. In 1942, while a 17-year-old junior, he made history by becoming the first junior to defeat the reigning national singles champion. Throughout the 1940s, Oliver was a feared opponent, leading West Point to wins at the 1948 Eastern Intercollegiates and defeating former Wimbledom champions such as Sidney Wood, or soon-to-be champions Dick Savitt and Vic Seixas. After Oliver’s time at West Point, he was sent to fight in the Korean War. While serving, he earned a Bronze Star and at the same time won Far East singles and doubles championships. His strong play continued wherever the military sent him, and he won tournaments in USTA/Middle States and later, the German and European Air Force tennis championships. In the 1970s, while in his late 40s, he was still winning open championships. For Oliver though, it was not just about results on the court. He had a long history of meeting many famous people such as Secretary of Defense (Dr. Harold Brown) and two Chiefs of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. For over 50 years, Oliver has been interested in the results of juniors and making juniors into better players. In the 1950s he coached the Air Force tennis team and again had a stint as the coach and assistant athletic director in the 1960s and 1970s. While in the Philadelphia area in the 1980, he coached Tom Shimada and Lisa Raymond. Both of these players went on to become professionals and play against the world’s elite. Oliver feels it is a very special honor to be inducted with this group of individuals. The fact that he was only able to spend about 15 years in this region speaks a lot to the productivity of those years and the people who surrounded him and whom he was fortunate enough to work with. All the other inductees are honored that Oliver’s achievements can be celebrated during this special evening on October 22. This Hall of Fame event is sponsored by TD Waterhouse. The event will be held at the historic Germantown Cricket Club, located at 411 Manheim Street, Philadelphia, and celebrating its 150th anniversary. The master of ceremonies will be noted sportscaster Michael Barkann. The ticket price is $100 and includes a cocktail hour, dinner, and a silent and live auction. Oliver's fellow inductees are Newton Meade, Christine Beck, Albert Molloy, Jr. (deceased), and Jerry Laroque (deceased). All five of these individuals have used impressive and varied skills to not only achieve success in playing tennis, but also promoting the game in numerous ways. They will join such hall of famers as William Clothier, Don Budge, Judy Levering and Bill Tilden. To attend the dinner or to donate a silent auction item, call the Middle States office at (610) 935-5000. The proceeds of the dinner and the auction assist junior players and programs throughout the Middle States Section. .

  • All Time Weeks @ #1 Record 1881- Renshaw Wins Wimbledon
    All Time Weeks @ #1 Record 1881- Renshaw wins Wimbledon 1881, beating 4 top 7 players to do it, becomes #1 on Monday, July 11, 1881., 1 YE #1 1882- Brother Ernie wins everything else but loses only 2 matches of year that matter, to Willie in Irish F and Wimbledon F. Willie defends Wimbledon title, retains #1, 2 YE #1, 77 weeks at #1 1883- Willie vacates Irish title, Ernie wins it. Lawford won London Athletic Club and Prince's Club, Wilberforce wins Manchester. Ernie Renshaw had to play Lawford first round which is a joke but Ernie won it in 5. Horrible seeding. After that match, Ernie marches to the finals where once again he loses to William Renshaw, 5 sets again. Ernie may be the best of the rest, but Willie is still the best. 53 weeks at #1 due to there being 53 Monday's in 1883. 130 weeks at #1, 3 YE #1 1884- Lawford, who invented the topspin forehand by the way, beat the US champ Sears at the Irish and Ernie in the finals, both in straights. Lawford wins London Athletic Club as well, and looks poised to challenge Willie Renshaw for the Wimbledon title and #1 crown. Lawford had to play Wilberforce first round so this is 2 years in a row they give Lawford a top contender first round, do they have beef with him? Lawford wins in straights, Ernie loses SF, and Lawford plays Willie in the finals. But Renshaw holds firm and takes his title once more, in straights and with a bagel in the first, wow.

  • Unseeded Tiberio Takes National Clay Court Title
    Senior Tennis 2008 – VolumeVolume Six Five • Number Nine • Spring • 2008 THE NEW ENGLAND SENIOR TENNIS FOUNDAITON THE NEW ENGLAND SENIOR TENNIS FOUNDATION BULLETIN Unseeded Tiberio Takes National Clay Court Title Henry Tiberio of Beverly, Mass., brought a national title to New England, winning the National 85 singles Clay Court Championships at Pinehurst, N.C., in September. Although self-motivated, Henry was encouraged by friends Harry Kirsch, John Shane and Tom Shields to go for it. Held September 9-16, 2007, the 32-draw tournament had the #1 ranked player Marvin Henderson of Texas meeting Henry in the 2nd round. (They had met only once before at a National Grass Court Championship in South Orange, N.J., with Henderson winning easily.) Tiberio surprised Henderson, 6-4, 6-3, who had two national titles for 2007 and is forecast to be the top player in their age division for 2008. The next close match was the semis where Henry met the #3 seed, Edward Selfe of Alabama. Henry noted that he "played more confidently here, having beaten Ed the week before at Longwood. However, Selfe is an excellent clay-courter, and this was a tough three setter!" Henry Henry Tiberio prevailed, 7-5, 3-6, 6-3. Number 2 seed Bob Sherman of California also reached the finals only to run into 'Howitzer Henry.' After dropping the first set, 6-2, Tiberio evened the match in the 2d set tiebreaker. Blunting Sherman's two match points, Henry gave up five set points before prevailing 13-11. Although Tiberio won his first national title with a 6-1 third set win, the going was very tough.
