Glenn Davis Wins Pearl Trophy; Outlasts Carl Lonnberg


Glenn Davis outlasted the late onslaughts of serves from Carl Lonnberg to win the 1st Annual Nathanael Greene Wooden Racquet Tennis Tournament Invitation Cup Memorial Classic. Davis, a veteran of the wooden circuit, has now added a major to his trophy case. Davis' route to the finals was not an easy one. Davis easily won over an outmatched Darren Durlach, then played two excellent matches with Lloyd Overdyke and Scott Davidson, only to come out on top. Davis was tested in the Semifinals by none other than play-boy and circuit misfit Whit Altizer. After a fight in the stands, two of Davis' fan supporters were thrown out for cheering "W-h-i-t, you ain't got no alibi, you ugly" during Altizer's serve. Davis was able to put down Altizer with scintillating ground strokes and managed a 8-6 victory.
After winning the prestigious Pearl Trophy, Davis managed a few words. "This is what its all about, the Pearl validates my whole career. I've won some tournaments, but none as big as the Nathanael Greene Wooden Classic." Well Mr. Davis, I think Nathanael Greene would be proud. You fought with a revolutionary style and served with distinction. Well done.
