Greetings Summer Challenge Ladder Competitors!
We are nearly one month in to the 2023 Tennis 4 All Summer Challenge Ladder and things are certainly heating up! 23 Matches have been played. The fans are going wild!
Happy to report we are 46 players-strong overall. Please let friends know they are still welcome to join. There is always room on the ladder. Would love to get to 50!
Newcomer Sarah Evenson remains on top of the Overall Standings, backing it up with a victory over newcomer Jared Sawyer. Nice job, Sarah!
Speaking of Jared Sawyer, he had a huge win yesterday over the ever-tenacious Alan Gnani, moving him way on up to #5 in the rankings: well done, Jared!
Over on the Points Ladder, Scott Enos finds himself in a familiar place at #1 with 13 total points….Steve Sage and newcomer Bill Lamberson are right behind him with 12 points each. Great work all 3 of you getting out there to play lots of tennis!
The weather has been a bit unpredictable but this week looks pretty good as we all prepare for Wimbledon.
Don’t forget about the pot luck this Saturday, hosted by the ladder’s own Dan Chak. Contact him if you need info: dan@chak.org Thanks for doing that, Dan!
I’ll be unable to attend as I’m performing in a matinee of Shakespeare’s ‘As You Like It’ which is entering its final week over at the Balch Arena at Tufts. This is not a museum-piece of Shakespeare hoity-toity nonsense but rather, a highly Queer production for our Times. Come check it out if you are interested! I’m the Fool.
Otherwise, I’ll see you out on the courts!
Cheers,
Doug

We are now offering a discount for the rest of the run, here is the information.
It’s a $35 ticket code for friends and family for the remainder of the run. Use code TOUCHSTONE35 to access this discount

Dear Tennis4all Membership and friends,
Our annual Boston Tennis Classic tournament will be contested at Woburn Racquet Club Friday, June 16th through Sunday, June 18th.
This tournament brings tennis players from all over the world to Boston for three days, and is the flagship event for our organization.
It cannot be a success without volunteers!! We need YOUR help. The three biggest needs are:
If you are interested in volunteering, please email Steve Menichetti at menichet1@aol.com.
If you have raffle items to donate, please email Chris Wood and Edwin Medrano at glta@tennis4all.org.
Whether you are playing or not, please come out to Woburn Racquet Club for the event. We’d love to see you! Thank you for considering volunteering and/or donating raffle items for this event.
Sincerely,
Steve Menichetti, on behalf of the tennis4all Board of Directors

Greetings Tennis4All Summer Challenge Ladder Tennis Community!
This Saturday May 27th marks the beginning of official match competition. Not a bad idea to start setting those up if you have not done so yet. Take a look at the rules again if you’re not clear about who you can and cannot challenge.
Make sure the winner emails me with the results, and please include Who challenged who as that manifests in different points.
One thing I neglected to include in my initial invitation: if you would like to, please send me a quick message with your preferred pronouns, and also let me know if I have your consent to include those with your name on the ladder. If you would prefer not to do this, totally fine of course, just make sure when you and your opponent introduce yourselves to one another, that you include this information if it is important to you.
Thanks and for those of you with matches this weekend, Enjoy!
-Doug (he/him)
Tired of your opponents picking on your backhand? Well fix it. Join the fun at weekend tennis camp August 18-20 at the Cliff Drysdale Tennis School at Stratton Mountain in beautiful southern Vermont. Get all the details and register at Weekend Summer Tennis Camp
I am delighted to announce that we are still 12 days away from the official start of the 2023 Tennis4All Summer Challenge Ladder and we are already at 28 rungs! There is always room for more and we invite you to take part in all things ladder. Here is the link but the gist of it is: $10 and a membership in good standing and you’re in! We accept new players all summer long in fact, so if you’re not sure now but you decide later in June or July you’d like to join, you can!
Also, though again official matches do not begin until the 27th, if you’re already on the ladder and would like to engage in what we call a ‘friendly’ match, by all means, do! Contact someone and set up a match, enjoy the beautiful weather we’re having. Just don’t report the score to me, as it won’t count until the 27th. That’s when everything counts. Every. Thing.
-Doug
