SRC Juniors win in Tucson
Three young tennis players from the Spokane Racquet Club rose above their No. 3 seedings to win championships at the Copper Bowl Junior Nationals in Tucson, Ariz., earlier this month.
Maya Jansen, a sophomore at Freeman High School who is ranked 61st nationally and No.1 in the Northwest in her age division, beat the No. 8 seed 6-4, 6-4 to win the girls 1 singles title. Jansen followed that up by winning a tournament in Portland, where she played up from her customary girls 16 division to girls 18 and defeated the players ranked 1 through 3 in the Pacific Northwest in that division to capture the title.
Sisters Madison and Alex Bourguignon who play out of SRC defeated the No. 5 seed in the girls 14 doubles finals 8-2, after a 9-2 win over the second seed in the semifinals at the Copper Bowl Junior Nationals.

| MEMBER OF THE MONTH |
KEN ABSHER is February's member of the month. Ken joined SRC in September of 2008. He and his wife were invited to the club by their neighbors, Rick and Barb Shankle, whom are members of the club. That was the beginning of a great tennis experience with SRC for Ken.
Tennis began for Ken at his local Community College in Los Angeles. The men’s tennis team had a field of exactly four players who had to forfeit match after match due to lack of numbers. Ken figured that was his chance to make the team! Which he did! After those two years he transferred to UCLA where he played two years of intramural tennis. After college he only played recreationally and it was minimal amounts of court time at that. After thirty years of not enjoying club tennis due to the gamesmanship of others, Ken decided to take his neighbors up on their invitation and give SRC a try. This is where he found complete enjoyment of the game along with the strong camaraderie of all his fellow members. Now you will find him here four to five times a week. His repertoire of events ranges from mixed doubles (three different days), to men’s league, men’s clinic and two upcoming USTA leagues! Last season he played USTA 3.5 for the first time and this season will be adding a 4.0 league to his plate. Ken’s favorite thing about the game of tennis is the camaraderie that he has found at SRC and the occasional awesome drop volley! Congratulations Ken, for being the Member of the Month!
