In Memoriam
Ellie Berman Van Zandt 1936 - 2021
Ellie Berman Van Zandt began her association with the USTA Nationals nearly thirty-five years ago as a volunteer with the Tower Assistants committee. Later, Ellie was a long-time co-chair of the Shirt Distribution committee, a herculean task. Each year, the Nationals distributes over 1,000 shirts, organized by committees. Because of space constraints at Kalamazoo College, the committee was relegated to working in the stifling heat of the Natatorium. Through it all, Ellie’s well-planned approach made the job look easy. After retiring from Shirt Distribution, Ellie moved on to become half of the Crackerjack Team of Van Zandt and Mehaffie, with Connie Mehaffie. Working from the Carriage House, they assembled and organized over 800 volunteer badges by priEllie with Mark Riley receiving her mary committee for each volunteer. As commitDistinguished Service Award in 2013. tees can be somewhat fluid until the Tournament begins, this entailed printing and reprinting committee lists and badges until the last minute. Once again, Ellie’s attention to detail and stellar organizational skills handled the job effectively, efficiently, and always with a smile. Ellie Berman Van Zandt was a truly valued member of the Nationals, and for her decades of volunteerism was honored with the Distinguished Service Award in 2013. She will be dearly missed…

In Memoriam
Grace Flesche 1934 - 2022
Grace Flesche couldn’t help but be involved in the Nationals. Married to Dr. Don Flesche, “the Voice of the Tournament,” for nearly 60 years, if she wanted to see him over the duration of the Nationals, she needed to jump into volunteering with both feet. Grace’s association with the Kalamazoo Junior Nationals began in the 1970s, spanning many years and several committees. She was a long-time member of the Registration Committee, serving as CoChair of Singles Registration. In those days part of the job was to make hand-written court cards for each player as they checked in. Grace was known for her genuine interest in others and her delight in getting to know the players and their families as they arrived at the Nats. She also exhibited her enviable green thumb for the Stadium Decorations committee, lovingly growing and caring for pots of flowers over the summer for the beautification of Stowe Stadium during the tournament. Concurrently, she served as a Tower Assistant for many years, passing out scorecards and tennis balls to umpires from Fischer Tower. For her willingness to help in any way, above and beyond the norm, as well as her many years of volunteerism, Grace was recipient of the Distinguished Service Award in 2011. She will be missed by all of us...

In Memoriam
Bart van Giessen was the stalwart in the maintenance of the Western Michigan University tennis courts used by the Nationals. In most of the many years since WMU joined in the hosting of the USTA Nationals, Bart was a fixture at the Western courts. His job was clear but not easy: to make certain that the 20 WMU courts were set up properly for play whenever they were needed. As head of the Bronco Red Crew, he supervised their work in maintaining the WMU venue. After many years in this important position, he was (in 2009) awarded the Nationals prestigious Green Jacket. He took this honor very seriously, frequently wearing it with pride to many other community events. Bart van Giessen truly personifies the Nationals volunteer. He will be missed…

2021 Bobby Kaplan Sportsmanship Award for Boys’ 16:
AARON SANDLER (Pennsylvania)
The Kalamazoo National Championships knew Bobby Kaplan well: a dedicated coach, a fair and knowledgeable official, a distinguished sponsor, and a dear friend of this tournament. In 1977, following his death at the age of 33, the Eastern Tennis Association established the Bobby Kaplan Sportsmanship Award. This trophy, a lasting memorial to a true friend of tennis, will be presented annually to the Boys’ 16 participant who in the opinion of the Championships Committee best combines outstanding sportsmanship with outstanding ability.

In 1957, shortly after the death of Dr. Allen B. Stowe, longtime director of the National Junior and Boys’ Tennis Championships, a group of Kalamazoo tennis enthusiasts sought to establish a fitting and lasting memorial to the former Kalamazoo College professor and tennis coach. The group contributed a sum of money for a trophy to be presented annually to the Boys’ 18 player who, in the opinion of the National Championship Committee, best combined the qualities of outstanding sportsmanship and outstanding tennis ability. The name and hometown of the recipient are inscribed on the trophy.

SCORING
Introduction Tennis has an unusual scoring system. The score does not go up in units of one or even in units of the same amount. The first point in a game is called 15 and the next, 30. So you’d think that the next point should be 45 - but it isn’t, it’s 40. And the score of a player who has not won any points is not “nil” or “zero,” but “love.” This is said to come from the French word “oeuf,” which means egg and is shaped like a zero. The server’s score is always called first by the umpire. So if Player A is serving to Player B and Player B wins the point, the score is love-15. If Player A wins the next point, the score is 15-all, and so on.
Games The first player to win four points wins a game. So if a player wins four points straight, the scoring will go 15-0, 30-0, 40-0, then game. The exception is if both players win three points each (i.e. 40-40) which is called deuce. Then the winner is the first player to win two points in a row. Deuce Once the score gets to 40-40, it is known as deuce. Once at deuce, one player must win two consecutive points to take the game. The word comes from the French phrase “à deux” – meaning “at two,” as in needing two more points. If Player A wins the next point, the score is “advantage server.” If Player B wins the point, the score is “advantage receiver.” If the player at advantage wins the next point, he wins the game. If he loses it, the score goes back to deuce. Sets The maximum number of sets in a match here at Kalamazoo is three (except in the Championship match in Boys’ 18 Singles when the maximum number of sets is five). The first player to win six games wins a set. However, if the score becomes five-games-all, one player must be two games ahead to win the set. So a player must win the set 6-4 or 7-5 and so on. Until the 1970s, this meant that sets could potentially last indefinitely. But in 1971, the tiebreak rule was introduced. Under this rule, once the score reaches six-games-all, a tiebreak is played to decide who wins the set. Tiebreak The first player to reach seven points wins the tiebreak and the set. But if the score reaches six-points-all, the winner is the first player to win two points in a row. The player whose turn it was to serve in the set serves the first point of the tiebreak. His opponent serves the next two points, and after that the serve rotates after every two further points. The players change ends after every six points, even if a player is between his two service points, and at the end of the tie break. A tiebreak is played in all sets.
