Colin McAlpine |
The NCTA would like to congratulate our very own Colin McAlpin who, in March, won the 2015 Men’s Eastern Canadian Senior Indoor National Championships - Men Over 55 Singles - in Toronto. He defeated Abbas Kiltash 6-3, 6-4 and managed not to lose a single set the entire tournament. He almost doubled his achievement, but fell just short in the Men's Doubles finals with Kevin Green, losing a tight match 6-1, 0-6, 10-7.
Colin is very well known locally and nationally; he has won the Ottawa City Championships a record 14 times (9 singles and 5 doubles), and National Championships nine times (5 singles and 4 doubles) and will compete regularly in local and national Open and Masters category tournaments this season.
He is a great student of the game and is currently working with Toronto-based coaching legend John McManus, who was the Canadian Davis Cup coach 1985-88 and has coached 8 players in the top 100 throughout his career.
When Colin isn't playing tennis, he keeps busy as a business consultant, tennis coach, author and family man. We look forward to seeing him on court this summer and good luck in the future!
