  • Wikipedia indicates that the 1958 winner was Bernard "Tut" Bartzen.

  • I love watching the serves... back then it was required to keep one foot on the ground while serving.

  • I grew up on Oak Ave. 1 block east of the RFTC.. I was 6 years old 1958.

    I am sure friends parents were there. I went one time to the USLTA Clay Court Tennis Tournament . I was about 9 or 10.

    That corner on lathrop has changed in fifty years The BIG TRESS ARE GONE

    Dutch Elm Disease killed almost all the nice big Elm and Oak tress in RF.

  • Wow, a different time... when the players wore crisp, perfectly fitted tennis whites, kept themselves perfectly clean shaven and groomed, and looked as if they never broke a sweat. And you don't see one tank top, Budweiser beer tee shirt, or morbidly obese person in the audience, either. Progress is a wonderful thing, but the sacrifices we make for it...

  • wow, i live in rf and that corner on lathrop has not changed in fifty years...wow

  • Who was the men's winner, Alex Olmedo?
