Keith Whittingham, Mercyhurst College's number one tennis player, saw the
dream of earning a spot in the US Open Grand Slam Tournament end today when he lost 6-3, 6-1 to Oliver Sajous in the opening round of the field of 16 at the U.S. Open National Playoffs. Keith was competing in the
inaugural U.S. Open National Playoff Tournament in a field of nearly 1,000 for the right to earn a wild card entry into the US Open Qualifying Tournament held August 24-27 at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, home of the US Open.
Accompanying Keith to Atlanta was Kyle King, Keith's teammate at Mercyhurst College. King was a 2006 graduate of Greenville High School and standout tennis player for the Trojans of Greenville, PA. He finished his collegiate tennis career with several honors (
PSAC Spring 2010 Top 10 Award,
PSAC Sportsmanship Award, and
CoSIDA /ESPN The Magazine Academic All-American).
