If you see them or use Mark Bowers, Hannah Esker, Joe Rottman their services, please thank them for their support of MSITA. FROM THE PRESIDENT TENNIS In Memory of Doug Lintala The tennis community lost one of its best supporters when longtime teaching pro Doug Lintala passed away in January. Doug was head tennis pro at the Country Club of Hudson, Ohio, until 1984, when he was brought in as tennis director at the Springfield Racquet Club. He moved to Peoria in 1988 and began a 25-year career at Clubs of River City. He was an advisor to the Journal Star’s annual Tri-County Tennis Tournament. He was President of the MITA from 1998-1999, and served on the MITA board for many years. He was serving as an MSITA Organizational Delegate and Chair of the Junior Competition Committee until his death. He will be missed! We need volunteers for the Illinois State Fair! Two thousand thirteen was our first year to have a booth at the fair. It exceeded expectations! We just needed more volunteers. Those volunteering will get a free pass to the fair and can park at the site. I loved working with the kids and their parents. Many of them had never played tennis before, and knew nothing of the USTA programs. I thank all of the volunteers who make this organization possible. There are numerous volunteer opportunities in the USTA Leagues and the USTA Junior Programs. Please consider volunteering to be a Captain (the backbone of our tennis leagues), Local League Coordinator, Board Member, Junior Area League Coordinator, or JTT Coach. If you are not sure what these positions require, contact one of our MSITA Board Members, Executive Director Patty Bramlet, or District League Coordinator Joann Blair. This is my last year as President of MSITA. Dick Muston will be assuming the position of MSITA President in 2015. Dick and his family were awarded the Family of the Year last November at the MSITA Annual Awards program. Their family has a long tennis history. Dick and his wife Shirley were instrumental in starting the Boy’s and Girl’s tennis programs in Robinson, Illinois. Dick coached high school tennis for 30 years and received a 25-Year Coaches’ Award from the Illinois High School Tennis Coaches Association. He held a number of positions in the SITA: President, Vice President, Executive Director, and Junior Davis

  • Tiafoe Seeks First Title, Faces Gojowczyk in Final
    DELRAY BEACH OPEN: DAY 7 MEDIA NOTES Sunday, 25 February 2018 Delray Beach Stadium & Tennis Center | Delray Beach, Florida, USA | 19-25 February 2018 Draw: S-32, D-16 | Prize Money: $556,010 | Surface: Outdoor Hard ATP World Tour Info Tournament Info ATP PR & Marketing ATPWorldTour.com YellowTennisBall.com Joshua Rey: [email protected] Twitter: @ATPWorldTour @DelrayBeachOpen Press Room: [email protected] Facebook: @ATPWorldTour @DelrayBeachOpen TV & Radio: TennisTV.com TIAFOE SEEKS FIRST TITLE, FACES GOJOWCZYK IN FINAL Peter Gojowczyk of Germany and American wild card Francis Tiafoe will play for the Delray Beach Open title Sunday. Tiafoe's season thus far has been off to a positive start, as he entered the New York Open with 9 career Tour-level wins, and has since notched 6 wins in the last two weeks alone. Should 20-year-old Tiafoe win the title, he will be the youngest American to win a title since 19-year-old Andy Roddick won at 2002 Houston, and he will be the first #NextGenATP American to win a title. Tiafoe will be the fourth consecutive American opponent standing in Gojowczyk's path to his second career title, after the German defeated John Isner, Reilly Opelka and Steve Johnson en route to the final. The last American to defeat Gojowczyk at any level was Tiafoe, who claimed a win at the 2016 Winnetka Challenger event. Since then, Gojowczyk has held an 8-match Tour-level win streak against American opponents (14 at all levels). The American duo of Jack Sock and Jackson Withrow have stormed through the Delray Beach doubles draw this week to earn a spot in their first final together.

On Saturday against Andrey Rublev, he can start anew with a championship to begin 2018. The Frenchman arrived as a wild card following a four-month hiatus due to a right knee injury. Monfils has found success in familiar territory, falling to then-No. 1 Roger Federer (2006), then-No. 6 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (2012) and then-No. 1 Rafael Nadal (2014) in his previous Doha finals. Monfils is one of three wild cards to reach the final in Doha’s 26-year tournament history, joining Younes El Aynaoui in 1996 and Nicolas Escude in 2004. Escude, also from France, is the only wild card to win the Doha title. Monfils’ first final in Doha came as a 19-year-old, but his 20-year-old opponent on Saturday is bidding to become the youngest Qatar ExxonMobil Open champion ever. Rublev is through to the final despite hitting a total of 33 double faults in his four victories this week. INFOSYS ATP SCORES & STATS Qatar ExxonMobil Open [WC] Gael

The victor will claim his second ATP World Tour singles title of 2018. Additionally, a win for Pouille is projected to put him into the Top 10 of the ATP World Tour singles rankings for the first time in his career. • Pouille has now reached his second final in as many weeks, and, indeed, he was only a couple of games away from coming into Dubai with two titles on the season already in hand. However, Pouille fell to Karen Khachanov in the Marseille final last week, with the Russian prevailing 7-5 in the final set. The arduous final did not end well for the Frenchman, but he still came to Dubai undeterred. This week, after eliminating former Top 10 player Ernests Gulbis in the first round, Pouille exacted revenge on Khachanov in the second round with a three-set win over the Russian.

This event was re-branded in 2002 as the Junior Davis Cup by BNP Paribas and the Junior Fed Cup, and then again in 2005 as the Junior Davis Cup and Junior Fed Cup by BNP Paribas. This age bracket was chosen as a critical period in a player’s development and provided an opportunity for young players to enjoy a taste of the special demands of team membership in a competitive environment.
