Miller beaten, but not awed at U.S. Open

Their performance was
not spectacular In fact, it
was plain disappointing
However, Georgia's Allen
Miller and Ola Malmqvist,
the reigning NCAA doubles
champions, did participate
in the 1983 United States
Open The MAM boys fell 8-3.
6-3. to Eliot Teltscher and
Mike Ueach, the 1982 NCAA
singles champion, in the first
round of the doubles com
petition
Though Miller and
Malmqvist experienced
enormous pressure en route
to becoming Georgia's first
NCAA tennis champions,
nothing could have prepared
them for playing in the U S
Open the U S Open held in
Flushing Meadow The same
U S Open Jimmy Connors
and Martina Navratilova
won
"It was definitely dif
ferenl." Miller said "It was
a bit intimidating, but I'll be
more used to it next year "
Considering the pair did
not play together all sum
mer. a 83, 6-3 loss to Tell
scher and I-each does not
sound too bad Miller,
however, feels differently
"We should have won," he
said "I think we could heat
them at least five out of 10
times It's a circus at
tnospherc, and they were
just more comfortable than
we were “It's not like a
tennis game, it's like a
show," Miller said "There
are jets flying overhead and
there's crowd noise from
other courts. Everything is
going on."
In addition to playing in
the Open. Miller also won the
national amateur circuit in
both singles and doubles
Amateurs from all over the
country played in various
tournaments with the top
qualifiers squaring off in a
championship tournament
Miller won the singles title
by downing Stanford's Eric
liosenfeld in the finals
Miller then teamed with
Fred Perrin to take the
doubles crown
Even though Malmqvist is
no longer eligible, the men's
tennis team appears strong
once again as Miller leads a
healthy mix of veterans and
newcomers into the Clemson
Classic beginning next
Friday Deane Frey, George
Bezecny, Jeff Wallace and
Bill Thompson return from
last year's squad Freshmen
Phillip Johnson. Danny
Granot and Chris Morgan, a
walk on from Boca Baton,
Fla . have all been im
pressive in practice thus far
while junior college
champion Michael Penfors
and Kosie Sauer from South
Africa are expected to make
notable comtributions
Tom Foster and Ola
Malmqvist aren't the only
players Bulldog netters will
have to replace this fall Joe

singles player, is playing a

Golf women to open at Lady Seminole
Senior Denise Kiiif* adds experience to squad
By TODD IIOLCOMH

Women's golf coach Liz Murphey,
usually a tower of optimism, must be
excused if her assuredness wavers a bit
this season
Murphey s laidy Dog linksters. third

first lime this weekend in the Lady
Seminole Tournament in Tallahassee.
Fla , w ithout graduated All America
Cindy Pleger and Martha Stacy Beans
Kelly, who would have been a junior,
also left the team to try her luck on the
professional circuit
The losses leave Georgia with a pair
of all-conference candidates, Caroline
Gowan and Cindy Schreyer, but also
leave plenty of question marks
"We're going to have to work to get to
nationals this year." Murphey said
"We've never not been there before "
After 54 rain-soaked rounds of
qualifying this week at the University
Golf Course. Murphey selected a ten
tative lineup for this weekend
Gowan and Schreyer placed one and
two respectively Denise King, a senior
who made the top five several times
last year, finished one stroke behind
Schreyer for third
Inexperience prevails in the final two
positions Sophomore walk on laiura
Mays won the number (our spot, and
freshman Melanie Wilson, the first
signee for the team in the past two
years, plays number five
"We'll probably see lot of squad
changes as the season progresses,"
Murphey said, "We want to give them
every opportunity to move up the
ladder "
The first opportunity won't be a token
patsy to inaugurate the season in
Tallahassee And. though the tour
nament is one of only four spring events
for the team, it weighs as heavily on the
national rankings as any other
Murphey said that, although a
Georgia representative might win the
individual title with Gowan and
Schreyer, the I-ady Dogs are not the
favorites for the team title
"We're probably not a contender this
year, even though we are defending
champions,” Murphey said, whose
team won the Lady Seminole a year
ago
Murphey speaks pessimistically, not
so much as a reflection of her own
team, but of the competition Georgia
must battle three national powers in the
tournament — Florida. Florida State
and Miami Each qualified for the 17-
field NCAA championships in 1982
"Florida is always strong, and Miami
has won so many nationals I can't count
