2022 August 20th 6th annual challenge cup vs Bridgton Highlands Maine results

Congratulations Jackson Tennis Club for winning the 6th annual Challenge Cup against Bridgton Highlands Maine Tennis Club August 20th....

Mens Doubles Teams: Jason Cicero & John Tanzman, Mike Mallet & Mark Guerringue, Nubi Duncan & Thomas Tran

Mixed Doubles Teams: Janett Leavitt & Jeremy Angell, Alena McDonough & Tom McDonough, Fiona Tracey & Vic Hall

Pictured here is Justin Chafee, Coach/Pro of BH, presenting the coveted Challenge Cup to JTC again, 2 years in a row. Since the founding of the Challenge Cup JTC and Bridgton Highlands are now tied for 3 cups each after 6 years. The Cup now remains at the JTC Clubhouse for 2022. As a result the Challenge Cup Tournament for 2023 will be held again at JTC.

However, this tournament win could have gone either way!!!

It was so close, see the detailed results below. Matches were determined by the winners of 2 out of 3 sets, the third set if played being a 10 point tie breaker....and there were several. Highlighted are Mens Team No. 2 Mark and Mike loosing in a heart breaker 12-10 in the third set after winning the first set 6-0. That was a tough loss. But offsetting that was Womens Team No. 1 Bridget and Carolyn winning their match 12-10 third set tie breaker with a squeak it out sweet win.

8 of the 9 matches were done and the JTC vs BH score was 4 to 4 when the intense final match started between Mens No. 1 teams John Tanzman & Jason Cicero vs Bridgton's Joe and Parker as the audience of 30 watched and cheered on. All the marbles now rested in the tennis grips of John and Jason. They won the first set cleanly. The second set was tight getting to 6-6 so a 7 point tie breaker needed. The battle was amazing. There was one point where Joe and Parker overhead slammed 3 times as John T somehow lobbed back each one only to succumb to a cross court point drive by Parker and Tanzman tucked and rolled diving to get it and lost the point. However the final nail in the match coffin was driven by Jason to win the tie breaker and thus win the match and win the tournament. Can I say....HEROs?!

JTC is so fortunate to have such a competitive advisory in Bridgton led by Coach Pro Justin Chaffee. What a great team but we are so happy to claim the win, which made the win even more exciting.

Jackson Tennis looks forward to 2023 to play it again on our turf/red clay. Thank you JTC members for your support and strong efforts for a fun fun challenge cup in 2022.

Also much special thanks to our coach and tournament director John Tanzman for orchestrating strategically our teams and running a very smooth tournament with no gliches. John even provided the Coors Banquet at the end!

Have to give credit to the JTC hospitality burgers cook out which everyone enjoyed....special thanks to Judi Crofts for buying all the delicious food and extra thanks to Paul Pacenka slaving over the hot grill to ensure everyone was satisfied with their juicy burger.

2021 TOURNAMENTS

JTC had a great tournament season in 2021. Here is a summary of the results:

Sept 11 - Fall scramble

The appreciated beautiful day was started with a remembrance

of a day of infamy we will never forget Sept 11, 2001.

We ended this season with a great fun scramble on

a perfect weather day. Tennis play will go on at JTC deep

into October but the last tournament of our four

tournament summer was fitting to be a very social and lively

play of doubles matches.

Many thanks to John Tanzman. our Tournament Director who

once again dedicated his day to ensuring the JTC players

have some varied competition and a lot of fun, as he did

for the opening year scramble, the mixed doubles tournament,

the Challenge Cup and the mens womens doubles.

The skillful players of the day who won the final match set

were a nicely matched couple Scott Kaplan and Alena McDonough.

Taking second place today was a dynamic duo (or trio?)

Laurie Gabriel and Alli Hefferan.

By the time the final match was played out our participants

were able to devour 24 burgers and even a few beers. Thanks

to Joanne Green bringing the salads and others too many

to mention who brought pasties, brownies and cookies ...all very appreciated.

Yes, after some vigorous play on the courts, comfort food

was a great finish.

The scramble format was a hit and we are sure will continue

next year on the tournament list.

Aug 14 Mens womens doubles guest tournament

We had another beautiful day and a great turnout for our third tournament of the year. This time it was men's and women's open doubles with 9 women's team and 6 men's team competing.

The men kicked off the day with two 3 team flights competing in a round robin competition. Joe Twer and John Waldie won their flight and then defeated the other flight winners Bob Yanuck and John Tanzman in the finals. Mark Guerringue and Mike Mallet took third place with a victory over Dave Chaffee and John Russell.

The women's tournament saw a number of very competitive matches. Flight winners were Alena McDonough and Sue MacIver, Bridget Herlihy and Laurie Gabriel and Carolyn Wachnicki and Judy Teehan. Bridget and Laurie won in the finals over Alena and Sue, while Carolyn and Judy had an amazing comeback against Lorraine Dokas and Diana Doyle to capture third place.

The day got off to a rocky start with the net post on court 1 giving way. Thanks to some ingenuity by Paul Pacenka and John Russell we were able to keep play moving with a truck holding the post up throughout the day.

Thanks to everyone that participated and helped make this a great day. A number of the players brought food with them and everyone involved seemed to pitch in somehow, support the players and have a great time.

Special thanks to Laurie for offering up her court so we could keep the tournament moving along and to Paul Packenka (with some help from Joe Twer) for taking care of the grill.

3rd annual mixed doubles vintage tournament

2021 3rd Annual doubles scramble was a crowd pleaser!

With full participation of 24 competitors, our opening season tournament of a mixed doubles

scramble was great fun and had plenty of competitive play by all. Tournament Director John Tanzman

set up a great mix of matches. We witnessed some great games that had the crowd

applauding. And our tournament tradition of delicious burgers seemed to be the real

draw to this very social JTC event, thanks to grill chef Bill Pruschinski.

The finals brought on the top four highest point scorers of Bob Yanuck and Anne Pillion versus

Hadley Champlain and Frank Murphy. It was exciting to see couple Anne and Hadley play

against each other. The level of tennis went up a notch.....but "gets everything" Bob and Anne

prevailed as the Scramble Winners for 2021. Congratulations.

Also presented was Carolyn Wachnicki's beautiful framing of the 1981 water color print of the

crowd at the Volvo International Tournament, Mt. Cranmore Tennis Club Stadium where Ivan Lendl lost in the finals against Jose-Luis Clerc now on display in the JTC Clubhouse tennis museum. The print

was donated to JTC by Stan and Dan's Sports North Conway. Stan and Dans was a sponsor

of the Volvo tournament from 1974 to 1984 and Stan was a linesman at the time. Stan and Dans

gives JTC members a 20% discount on tennis equipment.

The 2020 covid-19 season of JTC tournaments has come to an end. Here are the memories:

2020 2nd Annual doubles scramble

On Sunday Sept 13 we had a field of 24 players on a beautiful beginning of fall day. Everyone played 4 rounds of 4 game sets. The top 8 in number of games played in a playoff.

First place team accepting the coveted JTC glass mugs

were Bridget Herlihy and Diana Doyle.

The best part was that all players got to play with a different randomly picked doubles

partner for each of the 4 rounds, making for a very fast moving, varied and challenging

tennis and social experience.

Thank you again to John Tanzman for the idea, the coordinating and setting up this 2nd annual

scramble tournament. Thanks to the great food providers.... Judy Crofts getting us

morning coffee, ample delicious burgers with trappings and cookies, Lorraine Dokas for also amazing cookies,

Nancy and Bill Watts for crazy good desserts, Paul S. got the beer (yea!), and OMG Deb White

bringing an awesome chacuterie board. And of course Paul Pacenka custom cooking

to order the burgers. Thank you to everyone attending and making it a fun event...the

tennis watching was as good as playing.

2020 jtc vs bridgton highlands annual challenge

Congratulations to Bridgton Highlands winning the 4th held Challenge Cup.

Bridgton took the final two matches this morning thus scoring 6 matches versus Jackson total of 3.

The last matched played was a womens doubles nail bitter.... Bridgton's Carol Kelley/Mikita Orsoz team

defeated Jackson's Carolyn Wachnicki / Alena McDonough in a come from behind tie breaker 3rd set 12-10!!

Paul Schuepp passed the Challenge Cup trophy back to Justin Chaffee, Tennis Director of BH, where it will reside until the next Challenge in 2021.

The 9 matches, 3 womens teams, 3 mens teams and 3 mixed teams, provided very competitive tennis which was exciting to watch. Spectator turn out and camaraderie was strong from both sides for all matches spread over 4 days due to the rain out when the tournament started last Saturday.

Thank you Bridgton Highlands teams and Justin Chaffee for great competition and fun. Thanks to the Jackson Tennis Club teams for fierce play and efforts putting on a good show and thanks to John Tanzman for coordination of JTC.

2020 Vintage Tournament July 25th results..

Our now annual Vintage Tournament was a wonderful JTC event yesterday on a beautiful July day with 12 mixed doubles teams participating.

(See photos at https://photos.app.goo.gl/tXTnbPcr7Ds6bedz9 )

The competition was fierce thanks to the pair ups and including a consolation bracket arranged by our tournament committee leader John Tanzman.

The matches were even more interesting as each player was required to use a vintage wooden racquet for at least one game within each set played.

This years' champions were Bridget Hurlihy and Evan Hurlihy receiving the coveted JTC glass beer mugs.

Note President Schuepp not shaking hands but rather giving a congratulatory elbow bump.

Almost as much fun as the tennis competition was the gala of vintage and whites fashion

from all teams. The members were really in the spirit of culture and history that tennis

came from, especially here in the Valley going back to the Cranmore International Volvo

tournaments.

Special recognition was given for classic tennis outfits well done to Scott Kaplan as John McEnroe with

authentic hair do, Carolyn Wachnicki in classic Sergio Tacchini, John Campbell as Bjorn Borg Fila

outfit using Borg racquet, Judi Crofts with an actual 37 year old beautiful pleated silk Chrissy

Evert skirt, and Danielle Kastrati in class white elegant dress:

2019 tournaments
