[SwissMister1]

The 2005 Legg Mason Wild Card Challenge at Sport & Health Clubs showed a changing of the guard in area tennis. Newcomer, Izak van der Merwe, earned the singles title, defeating defending champion, Trevor Spracklin, in straight sets. In the doubles competition, 2004 singles finalist, Matt Scott, and his partner, Joey Atas, avenged previous years’ losses by winning their first championship.

In his first tennis tournament towards a professional career, van der Merwe earned $1,000 and a wild card into the singles qualifying competition of the 2005 Legg Mason Tennis Classic. van der Merwe, a recent graduate of Old Dominion University and an ITA All-American, used his blazing serve on the lightening fast courts at the Arlington Y Tennis & Squash Club to defeat Spracklin, 6-2; 6-2.

Atas and Scott faced stiffer competition in the doubles final. After dropping the first set 4-6 to Clemson teammates, Damiisa Robinson and Nathan Thompson, Atas and Scott rallied to win the second and third sets, 6-3, 7-5. Robinson and Thompson did not go down without a fight, coming back from a 5-2 deficit in the third set. With $2,000 and a wild card into the doubles main draw of the 2005 Legg Mason Tennis Classic on the line, match point proved more than climactic; Atas and Scott pumped fists while Robinson and Thompson could not hide their disappointment.

[Scotso]

Make sure you guys say hi to me if you go!

I want to see the alt list, I'll likely be going for qualifying, too. I really hope Paul is playing.

[Scotso]

yayyyy Paul

I just found out I have off from work on August 1 and August 2 and that I don't work until 3 on the 3rd... so I am contemplating a tiny road trip down to DC if I can find someone to go with me. lol.

[vincayou]

Gasquet is out.

[Scotso]

So then Paul is in

and

I kind of wanted to see Gasquet but I'm glad that Paul is in now.

[Scotso]

And now I don't have to leave early and pay extra money to go to qualifying, even though I might miss some good matches and there are less people so more time to meet players anyway

[IvanOle]

So Mario is't in MD.Im surprise beacause i read in local newspaper that he will apear in Washington.
