The Second Day By James Zug The crucial moment, perhaps, in the day’s play and in the 2016 world championship in general, came in the eighth set. It was 3-3.

U.S. Cockram Players Bond Over the Pond By Steve Hufford In spite of having seven players from five different clubs, or perhaps because of it, the US Cockram Trophy squad quickly formed a cohesive cadre of teammates, cheering each other on and providing useful advice, consolation, and congratulations. We began our team practice on Monday, May 11 with three hours of structured play, and started to learn the features of the Cambridge blue court: very lively back walls, “sticky” side walls that pop the ball out sideways, and natural lighting that varies with the patchy sunshine of the English spring.… Read the Full Story >
