at least 20 girls. I think that ten-
nis is on the rise and I know the
United States Tennis Association
is doing everything they can to
get a big interest.”
McKeown started playing ten-
nis over 40 years ago when his in-
terest in the sport drove him to
take lessons through the Wilkes-
Barre Recreation Department.
“I started playing and had a
knack and it seemed like it
caught on pretty easy,” McKe-
own said.
The 56-year-old signed up for
the tennis team while he was a
student at Meyers High School in
the late 1960s. McKeown quali-
fied for districts, in which there
were only three people. He came
in second and got to compete in
states, which was also small.
McKeown went on to play men’s
tennis at King’s College.
In 1981, McKeown met Nesler
while playing in a tennis tourna-
ment at Kirby Park and McKe-
own joined the men’s tennis team
from the Eastern Pennsylvania
District of the United States Ten-
nis Association (USTA) Middle
States section. McKeown now
considers Nesler his best friend.
Nesler, 58, first got into tennis
in 1978 when a neighbor asked
him to play. Nesler says he then
fell in love with the sport and be-
gan practicing for several hours

each day.
“It was just two years later that
Nesler formed the men’s tennis
team that has won over 20 of the
28 Adult League Middle States
Section Championships. He has
been teaching tennis lessons at
the Kingston Indoor Racquet
Tournament for 25 years.
“I think people are finding out
it’s a tough sport to play; it’s not
as easy as they think,” Nesler
said.” You have to put the time in.
You can’t just take tennis lessons
and be good. You have to put the
time in on the court.”
“We need some new talent,”
McKeown said. “There is a big
age gap. There are many of us in
our 50s and then guys in their
teens and 20s. Some people lost
interest; they were tennis players
and decided to take up golf. Oth-
ers had families. There are too
many things now to take up your
interest.”
Keeping things in perspective,
Nesler remembers what is most
important in any sport.
“The main thing is to have fun
playing the sport,” Nesler said.
