EDDIE HERR INTERNATIONAL SPECIAL AWARDS
Glenn Feldman Sportsmanship
Award
Glenn Feldman was Eddie Herr’s
grandson and the impetus behind the creation of the Eddie Herr
International Junior Tournament. Feldman was determined to
create a lasting legacy to Herr as a tribute to the man, the
tennis visionary, and the father of international junior tennis.
A proponent of good sportsmanship and fair play, Feldman was
passionate about maintaining the purity of sport and
competition. Upon witnessing episodes of inappropriate on-court
behavior at the Eddie Herr, he was known to take players aside
and issue stern lectures.
The Glenn Feldman Sportsmanship Award was created as a tribute
to Feldman, who passed away in 1999.
