PRIX TENNIS CIRCUIT

Richards takes tennis title

FOURTH-SEEDED Glenn Richards of North Van-
couver captured the men’s singles title at the first ever
Bekins/Prince Grand Prix Tennis Circuit tournament
in Burnaby, defeating No. 3 seed Josef Brabenec Sr.,
also of North Vancouver, 3-6, 6-4, 6-3.

The win was Richard’s first victory over rival
Brabenec, a former Davis Cup player and the 1988
Bekins/Prince Men’s Grand Prix Circuit champion.

“| killed two birds with one stone,”’ said Richards.
“This was long overdue.””

Richards, 24, reached four finals without winning a
title in last year’s Bekins/Prince Circuit. Of those
finals, three were played against Brabenec, 32, who
works as a pro at Burnaby’s Olympic Athletic Club.

Richards, who plays at Capilano Tennis Club,
decided to take a new approach against Brabenec in
the Okanagan Premium Cider Burnaby Open final. ‘I
was doing some things differently today, moving in on
his serve and mixing things up. When you’re zero for
I don’t know how many against a guy, you try some-
thing different,’’ he said.

In the men’s Grand Prix doubles final, former Ca-
nadian national junior doubles title holders Fabio
Walker of North Vancouver, and partner Scott Pot-
thast of Burnaby, lost to No. 1 seeds Tony and Pat
Macken of Vancouver, 5-7, 6-1, 6-4.

The fourth tournament in the Bekins/Prince Grand
Prix Tennis Circuit begins today at the Richmond
Tennis Club.
