Shirley Park LTC News Letter – Spring 2012
Shirley Park LTC News Letter – Spring 2012 Club Championships – Summer 2011 Mens Singles Final - Harry Ware beat Dan Hatton 6-1 7-6 It seemed that Harry Ware was in a hurry when he raced through the opening set of the Mens Singles Final against two-time former champion Dan Hatton taking it 6-1 in just 22 minutes. However, the second set proved a much closer affair. Dan struck early on by taking the first two games of a see-saw set that contained some high quality tennis and exciting rallies. Harry then broke service twice to take a 3-2 lead, but Dan returned the compliment and had a chance to take the set when serving at 5-3. Two double faults gave Harry the chance to level and, after sharing service holds, he eased through the tie-break to successfully defend his title in straight sets. Ladies Singles Final - Natalie Davis beat Kamila Morgan 6-2 6-3 This was a tight affair. Kamila came out hitting some crunching forehands but Natalie wisely kept most of her shots to Kamila's backhand in an attempt to neutralise her opponent's game. It became clear early on that Natalie’s strategy was to simply out rally her opponent with her consistency. Natalie showing great resilience broke Kamila in the fourth & sixth games to win the first set 6-2. The second set produced some stunning tennis with Kamlia using her forehand topspin to good effect. Kamila moved into a 3-1 lead and at this stage it looked we could be heading to a third set. -

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. -

Pete Allen Remembers Clarence Chaffee by Peter Allen, at July 19 Williamstown Dinner Clarence Church Chaffee Was Born in 1902 and Was an All-Around Athlete at Brown
Senior Tennis 2013 – 1 Volume Six • Number Thirteen • Fall • 2013 THE NEW ENGLAND SENIOR TENNIS FOUNDATION BULLETIN Pete Allen Remembers Clarence Chaffee by Peter Allen, at July 19 Williamstown dinner Clarence Church Chaffee was born in 1902 and was an all-around athlete at Brown. In 1938 he came here to coach tennis, squash, and soccer at Williams College and remained for 33 years, until retirement in 1970. I was very privileged that Chafe was my tennis and squash coach here from 1962 to 1966; I graduated several years before he retired. He was a strong factor in my decision to attend Williams. His infectious spirit, athleticism, and emphasis on sportsmanship made him a lifelong role model for me and many others. As fine a tennis player and tennis coach as he was in his 60s, he was most inspiring to me as the squash coach. There were always plenty of already-experienced tennis players in every en- tering class, but very few freshmen had ever played squash at all. Chafe would entice his tennis recruits to try squash in the winter season, inviting anyone independently motivated to sign up for a private half-hour on-court lesson with him... every day if you wanted. He'd stand in the center of the court, swinging his racquet like a magic wand. He'd hit winner after winner without exertion, yelling out which winner he would hit next and why and how. What a hands-on teacher for anyone who was inspired to learn from the master and work hard! Williams played all the Ivies in the 1960s, along with Army and Navy. -
