State Junior champ David Katz, moved up the USATT  ratings
ladder again with a win in the 25 player U-1650 event at the NY TT Federation's  tournament in Chinatown. 

13 year old David got his start and initial coaching a couple years ago at Fairfield TTC and often plays there on Saturdays, and also at home and the Stamford JCC with his father Sheldon.

He won 8 out of 9 matches and expects his 1456 rating to go over 1600, moving him up a few notches from his recent #20 spot on the CT.TTA Fairfield/Middletown rankings (all ages) on our ratings page.
