Ray Keenan Ray Keenan began his tennis at Parnell Lawn Tennis club where he won a number of club championships and played Caro Bowl. His involvement with ICNZ began in 1974 where he and friend Jack Gunn represented NZ at the International Veterans tournament in Great Britain. Ray and Jack reached the quarter-finals losing to Spain the eventual winners. In 1965 with the help of Bobby Wong and volunteers Ray formed Pompallier Tennis Club. This was to be his focus for the next 50 years. This period saw Ray organise numerous fund raising events to raise money and build the facilities that are standing today. Ray won 24 club championships and held a number of positions including president, club captain, manager and coach until his retirement in 2008 at the age of 81. Ray won 3 Auckland Hard court titles and 5 NZ Veterans titles .He was a member of the administration team for the Benson and Hedges (now Heineken Open) for a number of years. He was appointed President of Auckland Tennis in 1990-91. Ray received the Benemerenti medal from Pope John Paul II in 1989 for his services to the Catholic community and tennis, in particular juniors. The last IC function Ray and his wife Margaret were able to attend was our Annual Dinner in 2012. He is pictured here with Helen Croskery. Sadly Ray Keenan passed away on September the 10th 2014 at the age of 86. Message from Barry Weatherill, past Chairman of the IC Council. Cecilie, Always happy to read your excellent newsletter and very sorry to hear of the death of Mark Otway. I never knew him personally but when I played in the pre-Wimbledon round of tournaments that existed in the late 50's early 60's his name was always in the draw and he was usually in contention to win. His is a name that I associate with the fading years of amateur tennis but very much a competitor to be reckoned with. Please accept condolences to his family from me and IC of GB It's always sad to hear of the death of a contemporary tennis player. Best wishes, Barry Weatherill Golf Day . Tennis Auckland & ICNZ held their Annual Golf Day at the Whitford Park Country Club recently. The course was in splendid condition and great golf was enjoyed by IC Members Des Shaw, Kevin & Greg Long, Mark Lewis, Troy Turnbull and James Greenhalgh as well as around 14 others. Many thanks to James for organising the day which he has offered to do for the next few years. 2 Blast from the Past Onny Parun has sent some interesting photos which were sent to him by Tony Rivers. Tony was Cliff Richard's backing singer. The photos were taken in 1982 at the Remuera Tennis Club when Onny and Chris Lewis played with Elton John and Cliff and their bands. He says they played all day as both stars loved watching and playing tennis. As you will notice Brenda Perry is in one of the photos with Cliff. These were the days of grass courts, now long gone ...and the background walls have had a coat of paint or two! Top: Elton John, Onny, Tony Rivers , Chris. Below: Cliff Richard, Brenda, Tony, Onny. Davis Cup All the players who performed very well in Christchurch last weekend when they defeated Chinese Taipei 4/1 are members of ICNZ. Congratulations to the Captain Alistair Hunt, and players, Rubin Statham, Michael Venus, Marcus Daniell and Artem Sitak. The Tie was held indoors at Wilding Park, the first Davis Cup played there since the earthquake. Next year the team will play China in the Asia / Oceania Zone Group 1 in March. 3 Some of you involved with the Worldwide Junior Challenge Final held in Auckland in 2008 will remember Julian Tatum from the IC Council. Julian has written an excellent booklet covering the first 10 years of the event, and it is now available in PDF format to read on your computers. He credits Athol Tills who gave him the inspiration to involve teams from around the world after the success of the Trans Tasman events which Athol and Frank Sedgman got started. This year's final was played at Wimbledon on the Championship grass courts 3 weeks after the tournament. The booklet has excellent photos and reviews of the Regional Challenges as well as the Worldwide finals played each alternate year. We hope NZ can assemble an Under 16 boys and girls team to play in the 2015 regional playoffs in Singapore, with the winners to go to the 2016 Worldwide Final to be played on the beautiful courts at the Monte Carlo Country Club. The Story of the Worldwide IC Junior Challenge Two more photos from Onny. Left : Taken at Queens Club during the 1987 Aspinal Pro Tournament with Tony, Onny’s former wife Caroline and Mike. Right . Catching up with band members years later in Germany. 4 Elaine Stephan has just finished playing in the World Super Seniors Championships in Antalya, Turkey where she won a bronze medal with Jean Stevens(Otago) in the Women’s 80+ Doubles losing to the eventual winners. In the 80+ Sin- gles she lost in the second round to the two time 80+ World Champion Muffie Grieve from Canada. In the Teams Event playing in the W80 Doris Hart Cup the team of Elaine, Jean Stevens, Jean Murray and Margaret Bur- gess came 5th out of 8 teams. In pool play they were weakened at the start by No 1 player Jean Stevens ending up in hos- pital on a drip. When she came right they had an outstanding win against France who were the runners up but unfortunate- ly ended up in the Play Offs Pool for 5-8. The Eden Epsom courts where ICNZ and IC France will stage a friendly battle on Wednesday 14th .January. Recent acceptances of invitations to join ICNZ . We are pleased to report that Ron Dutton and Jake Olsen have become members. Ron is living and coaching in Switzerland and Jake is in Auckland. 5 Drop Shots The Davis Cup’s stature in the world game is set to be called fur- ther into question, with the Association of Tennis Professionals poised to stop awarding ranking points for matches. The move would mean top players have even less incentive to take part in the historic competition. Rewarding players who take part in the Davis Cup with ranking points has been one way of trying to keep the leading men onside, but the ATP has been concerned about the system’s fairness. Points are given only for matches played by those countries in the elite World Group or in World Group play- offs, which is seen as unfair on those players from smaller and less successful nations. The system also counts against many players from countries with a large number of world-class men. France, for example, has 10 men ranked in the world’s top 100, which means that a top player such as Jérémy Chardy, who is the world No 32 but has five of his fellow countrymen ranked above him, has only ever played two Davis Cup rubbers. 33 year old Russian player Nikolay Davydenko has retired from tennis. He reached No 3 in the rank- ings and won 21 ATP World Tour events, but injuries have caused him to accept his body can no long- er allow him to play at the top level. He plans a career in business now. In a new move the WTA Tour is to provide the top tennis players with stats during the "in-matches coaching time" now allowed. They will benefit from a new mobile App which has been developed. On court coaching time has been allowed since 2008 to give fans watching on TV a better insight into tactics and strategy.

Link to previous newsletters GREETINGS TO ALL OUR MEMBERS AND FRIENDS, IN NEW ZEALAND & OVERSEAS This is my 79th Newsletter for ICNZ members living in NZ and overseas and the most unusual of all, due to the Covid-19 virus which is affecting almost every country. The worldwide cancellation of all tennis tournaments at least until mid July and the fact all of us in NZ have been told to stay at home unless we are an essential service, or to buy food or medical supplies has turned our worlds upside down. We are encouraged to walk locally but the social distance of 2 m for all people outside our ‘household bubble’ is being enforced. We are now finishing our second week of at least four of lockdown. AGM changes …. Even before the strict enforcement our committee had decided to postpone our AGM and Dinner, scheduled for May 17th . As our constitution indicates the AGM should be held in the first 5 months of the year, and we have no way of knowing how long it will be before we can have meetings of over 100 people again we are making plans to keep our members up to date with the normal schedule of email pre-AGM notices.
