ore than 90 profes-
sional tennis players
from 20 countries
joined 70 Israelis in Israel's
recent autumn tennis series.
The men's $25,000 Frankel
Satellite Circuit was played
at four different tennis
centers in four consecutive
weeks. The women's $30,000
Vanessa Phillips series was
held concurrently for the first
three weeks.
Israel's Gilad Bloom was
the highest ranking player in
the men's series, although he
only played in the first tour-
nament, at Ashkelon. Bloom,
the top seed, was upset in the
semi-final by fellow Israeli
Amit Naor, 6-2, 6-2. Naor, the
third seed, reached the final
but lost a 7-5, 6-2 decision to
fifth seed David Engel of
Sweden.
The unseeded team of
veteran Israeli Shlomo
Glickstein and his new part-
ner, American Mark Jacob-
son, beat top seeds Bloom and
Israeli Michael Daniel in the
doubles final, 6-3, 6-3.
American Debbie Spence,
on the comeback trail at age
21, beat Israel's Ilana Berger,
6-3, 6-4 in the women's final.
Spence was ranked as high as
29 in the world in 1985 but
quit the pro tour last year.
- In Haifa the next week,
eighth seeded Israeli Shahar
Perkiss beat Engel in the
men's final, 4-6, 6-1, 6-4.
Perkiss downed second seed
Naor in the quarterfinal and
third-seeded Israeli Boaz
Merenstein in the semi-final
before facing fourth seed
Engel.
Glickstein/Jacobson, still
unseeded, made it two in a
row in doubles, 7-6, 6-3 over
fourth seeds Merenstein and
Raviv Weidenfeld.
Spence repeated her success
by winning the women's title.
Sixth seed Weidenfeld won
the third leg of the men's
series, at the Tel Aviv-Jaffa
Center, beating Romanian
Davis Cup player Razzvan
Itu, the eighth seed, 6-1, 6-3.
The two top-ranked players in
Weidenfeld's half of the draw
were swept away in first-
round upsets, including
Michael Daniels' 6-1, 6-4 win
over top seed Engel. Seventh-
seeded Israeli Oren
Motevassel wasthe highest
seed Weidenfeld faced.
Weidenfeld beat his coun-
tryman in the semi-final, 4-6,
6-1, 6-4.
The doubles reign of Glicks-
tein/Jacobson, now the top
seeds, was ended in the
quarterfinals by the unseed-
ed Dutch duo of Willem Bruin
and Tjerk Bogtstra, 7-6, 6-3.
Bruin/Bogtstra went on to
win the event.
Yael Segal, a 16-year-old
Israeli, won her second career
pro title, 6-2, 6-4 over Spence
in the women's final.
The men's circuit concluded
with the 16-player Master's
event in Eilat. Players
qualifield for the Master's
based on their performances
in the previous three tour-
naments. Top-seeded Engel
ended the series as he began
it, winning his second event
in a 7-5, 7-6 final over second
seed Weidenfeld.
The seeds held up well at
Eilat, as Engel beat fourth-
seeded American Paul
Koscielski in the semis, 7-6,
6-0, while Weidenfield down-
ed third seed Naor, 6-2, 6-3.
Third seeds Merenstein and
Weidenfeld won the eight-
team doubles tournament,
6-1, 6-2 over second seeds
BogtstrafBruin. The Israeli
victors also beat top-seeded
Glickstein/Jacobson, 6-4, 6-2
in the semi-finals.

Bulls Avenge
JCC Loss
The Bulls won the Honey
Berris League basketball title
on Dec. 11 with a 64-50 win
over the Pistons at the
Maple/Drake Jewish Com-
munity Centel-. The Pistons
had beaten the Bulls earlier,
in the final regular-season
game, to win the round-robin
championship. Dave Baxter
scored 30 points for the Bulls
in the playoff final. Mike
Rosenthal led the Pistons
with 14 points.
Akiva Falls
To Our Lady
The Akiva Hebrew Day
School basketball team
stayed close to host Our Lady
of Lakes last week, but foul
problems eventually cost
them the game, 58-35.
Akiva fell behind early
when two of its players had
first-quarter foul trouble.
Although Akiva never caught
up, it trailed by only five
points with six minutes left in
the game. Then, more foul
trouble and Our Lady's tough
press put the game out of
reach for Akiva.
