Tompkins

A brilliant end to the Tompkins Invitational at the Racquet Club of Philadelphia last night. Damien Mudge & Ben Gould let a 2-0 lead get away and squandered three match balls before escaping 15-13 in the fifth against Manek Mathur & Clive Leach. 

Overflow crowd, esteemed line judges Ned Edwards and Dent Wilkins, head ref Rob Whitehouse handling the heat. Packed seating and standing with no room at all. National champion Trevor McGuinness came over from Penn. All four days had over one hundred people in the gallery, quite remarkable for a city club over the weekend.

Hard hitting: everyone but Ben broke a string; three broken balls.
