Booming Serve Dominates Fourth Annual Tennis Championship
The Daily Telegraph notes the hard serve as a key factor in the tournament. Brian Woodward wins the title after a semifinals run by Steve Gill and Danny Wood, with Lipinski a backboard player and Lipinski lacking a major serve. The piece highlights Woodward’s 120 mph missiles, Gill’s pure serve and volley, and Lipinski’s tendency to wear down opponents through consistency.
