Dunn Doubles

Another fabulous weekend at the Racquet Club of Philadelphia. I played in five draws in four different sports, all indoor, walled-courts and yet four different balls, courts, rules. Ten matches; finals in two, won one, again, with partner Tim Proctor in the B squash doubles. Proctor & Zug—it is a scary team, on paper.

Sore limbs and tremendous fun. On Saturday I was at the club for sixteen straight hours. 

Todd Ruth upset Dent Wilkins in the semis of the A draw squash singles. Dent, days away from becoming a father for the first time, will get to ponder if having a baby helps or hurts his squash game. 

Usual sluggers in the doubles. Nice to see Rich Sheppard still tagging it against the young guns. 

Whether they come for the famous showers or for peace and quiet on a Philadelphia marathon weekend or for the late-night egg McBagels or for the fellowship of new and old friends, the Dunn is a classic weekend.
