Former Wimbledon Winner John Austin Lends a Hand at Point Set

November 20, 2013 | By Long Island Tennis Magazine Staff

John Austin, Wimbledon mixed-doubles winner in 1980 along with his sister Tracy, recently stopped by Point Set Indoor Racquet Club to take part in a clinic for tennis players who suffer with MS.

Before passing away three years ago, Dan Dwyer, Point Set’s former managing partner, started a weekly clinic for people with MS. After Dan passed away, Point Set’s Tonny Van de Pieterman along with fellow pro Nadia Johnston, continued the program. Austin visited Point Set to offer tips during the clinic and to talk to these players who have to deal with the daily challenges related to MS.
