Hi Bob, Come on now, you can’t end this article without saying what happened and who played well. I’m sure you did, but you have to give me info on how you scored and if you won a single match. Take care and I will talk with you again soon.
I was new to Davis when that occurred, so I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, and now I'm dying to know what happened. I hope it will be in tomorrow's column!!!!! This is a WONDERFUL story, Bob
i know what happened :)
Indeed you do
Don't leave us hanging, Bob. I want the blow by blow. (I did see Ricketts reference). 😂
As exactly predicted by Roger Rickette: Dunning defeats Riggs 6-3, 0-6, 7-6 (5-3 in tiebreaker).
The tiebreaker at the time was 9 points, with first one to five winning. Did not have to win by two points, as with today's.
Tiebreaker was tied at 3-3, but I won the last two points.
Excellent....your usual wise-ass personality probably unglued him with the roses 🥰
Never gets old! Shared with Don Lay!
Thanks Janet.
Hugs to you and Don
Don very impressed with your smash. WELL Done.
He wants to hear the play-by-play point by point!
Ahhha that was fun to watch!
I could hear your voice in the crowd, Rene
Very nice photos (specially the one with your son).
He's a good looking kid
Epic sideburns are the real heroes of this story
I was truly a trendsetter, Ted. Way ahead of my time.
I beat him in 1974. No problem.
I had a bet on you, Jack
