Guys,
Mary Dineen was All-American at Rollins College. Rollins College is in the news right now with Elin Nordegren attending college their after dumping Tiger Woods.

I noticed Amy Dillingham, the girl with the longest active losing streak on the WTA tour, played this tourney and it seems that an Arkansas player defeated her in the Women's 40s.

I once saw this little soccer mom named Nancy Hilliard
Defeat Julie Cass at the Westwood Tennis Club in Austin Tx. The little woman just didn't miss a shot and won 7-6,6-1. It was a work of art how she picked apart Cass from the baseline.
