Top Seeds John Russell/John White Toppled In William White Semifinal Stunner
by Rob Dinerman
Dateline January 5th --- Top seeds and SDA pro tour standouts John Russell and John White, U. S. Open semifinalists just last month when they beat Preston Quick and Matt Jenson, had a two games to love lead evaporate in the face of a determined rally by Imran Khan and Todd Ruth this afternoon at the Merion Cricket Club in the semifinal round of the 51st edition of the prestigious William White Invitational. The host club's famed stadium court witnessed a second highly surprising outcome immediately afterwards in the bottom-half semi as well, in which second seeds Trevor McGuinness and Whitten Morris, four-time champions in this tournament (in 2008-10 and 2012), were out-played in a competitive but convincing four games by James Stout and Jacques Swanepoel. The final is scheduled for Sunday afternoon.
