Our Masters teams have recently returned from the USA after a great couple of weeks. Here is a report on the Bostwick and Danby Trophy events held at beautiful Tuxedo Park.
2013 Australian Open Singles Champion, Steve Virgona.
May 14, 2013
the winning team Virgona
Thanks to Graham Hyland for hand-crafted the trophies.
Presentation of Singles.
Last night saw a magnificent display of power and accuracy, as Steve Virgona swept to victory over Camden Riviere in four sets, 6/1 1/6 6/4 6/2 in the Singles Final. A large crowd was treated to some exceptional tennis, as the two lefties traded blows. It was two hours of tremendous play.
Tonight is our last chance to see these two in action for some time. The doubles final starts at 6pm and features world no 3 Virgona teamed with world no 6 Kieran Booth, against world no 2 Camden Riviere and our up and coming pro Nick Howell. Three of the world’s top ten on court – Nick has a lot on his shoulders – and a feast of tennis is assured.
Reserve your seat now or just come in tonight. Light nibbles will be served.
