Bernie and Jimmy warming up for a later open doubles match at a Santa Monica, CA tournament back in 1977. In that same year, Bernie, at 58 years old, won the USA seniors 40+ event.Bernie was a top USA player in the pre-inverted rubber days. I'm wondering if any one has videos (probably converted from film as in this video), or photos of Bernie. Jimmy Lane reached #4 on the USA rankings, but I'm not sure when.

Bernie have to the one in black. I thought he had an unorthodox grip?

they seem to play the same way people play today.
at 0:20 that could be a guy today doing topspin from both sides. at 0:31 big topspin shot. I thought in 1977 they were not doing topspin yet.

Is that Paul Raphel he's playing at the end?
