Worthams Win National Mother/Daughter Event

National USTA Senior and Open Mother/Daughter Grass Court Championships, New Port, RI

Lindsey Wortham and her daughter Ginny Wortham of Richmond, VA have won the National Senior Mother/Daughter Grass Court Championships at the International Tennis Hall of Fame Tennis Center in New Port, RI.
They defeated Myra and Myra Alyne O’Dell of Kingsport, TN for the title.
The local mother/daughter pair may win another Gold Ball in the Open Division of the Mother/Daughter event, also being played there, as they play their last match Saturday, and are the favorites to win the event.
The Gold Ball is the USTA trophy for winning a USTA National event, and winning one is the dream of any tennis player. Winning two Gold Balls at the National Grass Court event will be a fantastic achievement for the Richmonders.
