  • 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.

  • Tennis DIVISION I MEN’S
    Tennis DIVISION I MEN’S Highlights Southern California wins third national title in a row; Nguyen clinches championship with thrilling three-set victory: Daniel Nguyen made a shot to earn a break point, fl ipped off his hat, started taking off his shirt and then danced around the court until his Southern California teammates could reach him and pile on. Nguyen downed Sanam Singh, 7-5, 0-6, 6-4, to give Southern California a 4-3 victory against Virginia for the Trojans’ third consecutive NCAA men’s tennis title May 24. They became the fi rst three-time defending champions since Stanford won four in a row from 1995 to 1998. “I remember watching Prakash Amritraj take off his shirt when we won the 2002 title,” Nguyen said. “I thought about doing it and then thought, ‘nah, let’s not do it.’” Seconds later he was tackled to the ground amid a wave of Trojans. “It was an incredible match,” Southern California coach Peter Smith said. “It all came down to the last match. How many teams win three in a row? These boys did it. This coaching staff did it.” Nguyen’s fi nal game featured a solid return game. He dived to save one shot and ended up getting the point. That led to the chip shot from the net that landed a few yards from Singh. “It was an amazing atmosphere,” Nguyen said. “It was unbelievably loud and it was hard to focus. I just seized the moment and took advantage.” Of his second point in the last game, he said: “I just saw the ball and ran as fast as I could and dove for it.

  • 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.

She continued to shine in college, winning national championships with both the University of Florida and the University of Texas, twice earning All-America honors.
