This past week saw Rafa claim his 12th French Open, Ashleigh Barty receiving her first… and more importantly, the arrival of Scott Enos on the Summer Challenge Ladder, instantly ascending to the 2 spot on the Points ladder and jumping up several rungs on the positions ladder. Well done Scott!
The weather is gorgeous.
See you out there.
It is time to prepare… for Wimbledon.

Hello out there! The Summer Challenge ladder is off to a blistering start. As you will note in the score report, there was a Fierce battle between the #1 and #2 players…seems they both left it all out there.
Yours truly was heard wheezing on the court against an old foe…#cardio #bewarethelobsofcliff!
Jeremy continues to amass huge points. Will anyone catch him? The summer is long.
The ladder is also long.
Climb it.
Vamos Rafa
Dear Tennis4All Members —
It is my great honor and privilege to be serving as this year’s Atlantic Cup captain, and in that esteemed capacity (i.e., the role that nobody else wanted), I am writing to ask that you consider representing our great organization in our effort to dominate our rivals (on the tennis court not the bedroom, you pigs). Boston will compete in a team tennis competition at the Harvard courts on August 10th and 11th against NY, DC, and some other insignificant city from a state that voted to install The Donald as President (payback time!). The team will be composed of players from each level (Open, A, B, C, D and XXX … don’t ask, but lets just say Buldini has this one covered) at both singles and doubles. The multi-person event will be reserved to the after-party and is strictly BYOS&H (Bring your own swings and harnesses). Last year we came in second place, but with the home court advantage we have a real shot at victory! Should we not win, there may or may not be a contingency plan already in place to acquire the trophy through a clandestine operation, but lets hope it doesn’t come to Conall streaking across Cambridge to cause a distraction while Mike Dineen quietly drops the trophy into his strangely inconspicuous beach bag.
If you would like to play on the Atlantic Cup team or simply want more information please email me at brianjfrasier@gmail.com. Spots will fill up quickly, and I’d like to get some practices going so please do so quickly!
Best wishes,
Captain Chlamydia (aka Brian)
Welcome.
We are 19 rungs strong on the Summer Challenge Ladder.
This makes me happy.
The weather is lovely.
Challenge away (see rules for how etc) and then report scores to ME!
see you out there.
Roland Garros is a short time away.
You must prepare.

Hey there. Come see your Summer Challenge Rung-Master, Doug Lockwood, in Jane Austen’s ‘Pride and Prejudice’ over at Tufts near Davis Square. And support local theatre while you’re at it. Plays for most of the month of June. Here is the link. https://www.actorsshakespeareproject.org/plays-events/pride-and-prejudice/
I am playing Collins, Wickham and (of course) Miss Bingley.
Hello:
Please come join us and promote Tennis4all by marching with us in the Boston pride parade on June 8th.
This is a wonderful chance to socialize with fellow Tennis4all members and to market our league. It’s a big part of our marketing campaign to grow the league.
Please let me know if you are interested in marching and I can provide you with more information.
Sincerely,
Steve Menichetti
President
Tennis4all Boston
Hi, we still need 5 more people for Tennis4All Volunteer Night at Community Servings in Jamaica Plain on Friday, May 31 from 6 pm to 8 pm. We’ll be doing food preparation at Community Servings and then we can grab a bite or drink in JP afterward. Let me know if you can join – friends and “tennis spouses” welcome too.
Can’t make May 31? Reach out to me (stevebackhaus@hotmail.com) to organize a Tennis4All Volunteer night at Community Servings, Greater Boston Food Bank, or another local charity sometime this year.
