Pike Cruises To 1979 Telegraph Singles Title
Dr. Billy Pike of Johnson City Tennessee defeated Princeton's Jon Lovern 6 2 6 1 in the final to win the Daily Telegraph Singles Championship at Sedgewood Tennis Club after two days of rain. Lovern held early energy with a big serve, but Pike broke through in the fifth game of the second set and rode a string of seven straight games to seal the title. Lovern, who will play at Concord College, showed a strong forehand and serve but misfired at key moments as Pike's consistency from the baseline and net play dominated. Parallel match saw Ivan Dicic fall to a steady Pike early, and Jack Sarver umpired the finals with the crowd exceeding 200 applauding each decisive point. Pike praised the tournament's organization and teased a busy practice schedule back in Johnson City.
