Spencer Love Embraces Tennis as Timeless Hobby and Therapy
Burlington textile magnate Spencer Love, head of a four‑year‑old giant, champions tennis as a key to staying young. He plays two to three times weekly, treks through snow to court, and notes tennis as a tranquilizer after tough days. Love, who began as a boy and briefly favored golf, recalls a wrenched back from icy Washington play and says his unorthodox style draws praise from partners and foes. He has faced elite players, favors doubles, and remains active as honorary NC Tennis Association banquet chair, planning years more on the court.
