Albany Tennis Club Tournaments
Wynn Sorkin Memorial Tennis Tournament
The Annual Wynn Sorkin Memorial Tennis Tournament is a round robin, handicap (high-low pairings) doubles tournament for men/women 60 and older who are annual pass holders. The tournament honors Wynn Sorkin, a long time member and former vice president of the Albany Tennis Club. Wynn was also a well known Masters athlete in track and field, competing at the Empire State Games in the shot put, discus, hammer and javelin. He had always wanted to create a low-key, fun-filled tournament that was geared to senior players, and one that would not have a "one loss and out" format. Steve Steinhardt, Wynn's son-in-law, runs the tournament, and receives invaluable help from Frank Collins in selecting the pairings.
Jim Conley Tournament
Jim Conley was a member of the Albany Tennis Club and was incredibly generous with his time along with a genuine dedication to ATC. He was a member of the Board and voluntarily took over the upkeep of the courts, nets, and general maintenance.
