POLO COWAN SENIOR (WORLD #1) SHOWS POLO JNR THE WAY
Polo Cowan, TPC teaching pro and New World No.1 ranked doubles player in the 50 + age division traveled to Lima, Peru where he and TPC member Dan Grossman won yet another doubles title two weeks ago. Dan and Polo were competing in a Grade A tournament for the world's top spot. If they lost then their opponents would take the world number 1 ranking and if they won, Polo would take the world's top spot and Dan would be ranked No.3. There was no shortage of pressure in this match.
Dan and Polo were down a set (4-6) and a break of serve in the second set (3-4). They came back to win the second set 6-4 and played a third set tie breaker in lieu of a full set. Going down early 4-0 they dug deep and came back to win it 10-6 securing the title and Polo taking the World Number 1 ranking!

A fantastic effort, congratulations Dan and Polo.
Keeping the winning feeling alive, Polo Jnr won singles and doubles at the Saratoga Open, his first Open tournament win! He won boys u/14 singles and doubles.
Congratulations Polo!
