Susie Keane's Acceptance Speech
On Friday evening, March 7, Mary Doten and Susie Keane were presented with our sport's highest honor: induction into the Platform Tennis Hall of Fame. The presentation took place at the Fox Chapel Golf Club during the PNC 2014 APTA National Championships.
The induction speech was given by Hilary Hilton Marold, a Hall of Fame member, who first introduced Doten to the sport. In front of a crowded room filled with Nationals players, previous Hall of Fame inductees, Keane, her friends, Doten and a large contingent of Doten's family and friends, Marold described the platform tennis journeys and accomplishments of Doten and Keane. Most notably, Doten and Keane are one of the most successful teams in the sport, winning 6 women's open national titles in a span of 8 years.
Congratulations to Mary and Susie on their outstanding careers and on their well earned induction into the Platform Tennis Hall of Fame.
