CHHRC Member Spotlight: George Loesch

Congratulations to CHHRC member George Loesch for winning the USTA 2014 National Men's 60 Grass Court Championships!


George was gracious enough to give us further information about the event. In his own words:

"I went into the tournament as an unseeded player. I played 6 matches, and defeated the 9th seed, 5th seed, 3rd seed and 1st seeded players, and did not lose a set the entire tournament. I defeated the #3 seed Carl Sechen, from Allen, TX in the Semi-Finals 6-3, 6-4 and #1 seed Tom Smith, from Alpharetta, GA in the Finals by a score of 7-6, 7-5 - - winning the USTA Men's Grass Court 2014 Singles Champion receiving a prestigious and respected USTA Gold Ball. An outstanding accomplishment! 


CHHRC has been my tennis club and fitness center of choice since moving to the Philadelphia Region in 1984. From September to May, and  I play doubles on Court #1 Saturday and Sunday, with local stellar and first-rate doubles partner George Norcross. We are always looking for good competition and challenges from any players."

Congratulations to George. Thanks for representing CHHRC, and South Jersey in such a grand fashion!
