Chocky White, from Henderson, N.C., danced around the tennis court and smacked the ball like he was 25, not 63. Just ask Donald Means, who lost to White 6-4, 6-3.
"He moves exceptionally well for a 63-year-old. I want to see his ID," says a laughing Means, 63, from Los Angeles.
White won back-to-batch matches Saturday. He says Means' lightening-bolt serves and towering height posed a worthy challenge.
"I played about as well as I could and got a couple breaks," White says. "I wouldn't want to play (Means) again."
White moves onto the next round in the winner's bracket in the Men's Singles 60-64 Division; Means goes into the consolation bracket. After the first round, all matches are single elimination.
