Lester and Ante, the number two ranked doubles team in the nation, defeated the Barker brothers from Rice (the number one ranked doubles team in the nation) at the ITA All American Championship this past weekend. This is one of the three major championships that are held each year. Congratulations to both of these fine young men.

Got a question...When I was at A&M, I remember taking tennis lessons from a Richard Barker. Are these twins his sons? I thought the instructor was a Former Student, but I may be wrong.

The Richard Barker you are most likely talking about was the former player and head tennis coach at Texas A&M.

Whereas the Barker twins from Rice hail from England.

There is no relation.

Hope that helps clear it up a bit.
