Traey pays the priee at SDSU

If you live in the South Bay and play tenN; tournaments, most likely you've heard of the nam Tracy Price. She played Nos. I and 2 respectivev for Bonita Vista High School's girls' and boy,' tennis teams in 1977. Since then she's played varsity tennis for tie niversit of · o (USD) and currently, Sa1 Diego tate University (SDSU). She tells me tht her reason for switching over to SDSU is becausi she heard it had a better business college. APPARENTLY SDSU also had a better women; tennis team as she played No. 2 for~ and No.i for SDSU. (Th~ No. I singles player for SDSU, Kin Jones, recently turned pro this summer.) Last month, Tracy played in two sanctione. tournaments and because of her No. 2 ranking i. San Diego in women's open singles, she was seedel highly in both tourneys. In the early part of last month, at the 6311 Annual La Jolla Tennis Tournament, Tracy wa seeded second behind Alice Middleton. Tracy gc as far as the semifinals where she was upset by th eventual winner, Lianne Marquez, 5-7, 4-6.

LATER ON, in the month she was invited to compete in the qualifying tournament for the Wells Fargo Tennis Open. But she had to decline as she had had a prior engagement at the 6th Annual La Raza Tennis Classic (LRTC) at Morley Field. In the LRTC she defeated Renee Le Strange,the No. 2 seed from La Jolla, 6-2, 6-3 in the final round. It took Price the No. 1 seed, a little over one and a quarter hours to dispatch the La J oilan for the LRTCcrown. Price, allowing Le Strange only two games of the first set, was sure of having an easy final round victory. But because of a mental lapse in concentration, Le Strange led the second set three games to love. "AT THE point, I was afraid I was going to Jose the match," said Tracy, after having split sets with Le Strange in a previous confrontation. "Both of us had three setters in the semifinals, and we were both tired. I edged out Teresa McDonald and Renee won over Sabrina Hawkins." Tracy confesses that lately during her matches she'll lose the second set badly after having won

the first set with ease. "After Renee got me down three games to love in the second set, I started to concentrate harder and beared down for the rest of the set." Le Strange didn't win another game as Price closed out the set and match by winning the next six games. It was the first time for Price to reach the finals and win this championship that was held at Robb Field, San Diego State University and Morely Field. Tracy starts practice for SDSU's women's tennis team on September 9th. * * * PETER Herrmann, another Bonita Vista High School graduate, is now in Kansas City competing in the National City Team Tennis Tournament (NCTTT) that ends this Saturday. The NCTTT features the best eight junior players from each city with the likes of Chicago, Atlanta, Dallas, Miami, St. Petersburg and San Diego involved. Randy Nixon, of Coronado, plays No. I singles

followed in order by Peter Herrmann, John Tsumas, Steve Dawson, Mark Scribner, Mark McMahon, Todd Nelson and David Bushnell. The No. I doubles team is Nixon and Scribner, and the teams of Herrmann-Bushnell and Nelson- Dawson make up the Nos. 2 and 3 doubles teams respectively. • * * TENNIS TIP: If you're going to get anywhere in tennis these days, you had better add topspin groundstrokes to your armory. An Easy way of executing a topspin shot is to think of the ball as having an imaginary nose. Start your upward swing under the chin of the ball and hit up on its nose, (try to spin the nose around the ball). The faster you hit upward, the more topspin you'll impart on the ball making it dip more rapidly and bounce higher. Try to keep the racquet perpendicular to the court throughout the whole stroke and have fun winning more matches.
