It's Not All Relative For Cacciatores, But It's Really Confusing
Share:    

Tournament directors have mistakenly pulled them out of draws. Hotels have given away their rooms. Sponsors have shipped their gear to the wrong address.

Being a tennis-playing Cacciatore in Florida has caused a lot of confusion over the years.

Harry, Patrick Henry and Grey Cacciatore

Henry Patrick Cacciatore, Harry Cacciatore and Grey Cacciatore have the same last name, are the same age (17), live in the same state and play the same sport.

But they are not all related.

Harry and Grey Cacciatore are twin brothers from Gainesville. Henry Patrick Cacciatore lives in Tampa with siblings of his own.

“There is not a single person you will find that doesn't think we are related unless they know us,” Henry Patrick said. “Everyone thinks we are because of our last name and and because we are always together.”

If their last name was Smith or Jones, it wouldn't be an issue. Nobody would assume every Smith in the draw was from the same family or every guest named Jones on the hotel registry accidentally double booked a room.

But having the last name Cacciatore can lead to assumptions, and assumptions can lead to major mix ups.

Henry Patrick usually goes by just Patrick. He uses his full legal name, however, to enter tournaments.

“I've had tournament directors take Patrick out of the tournament after the twins pulled out because they thought it was the same player or the same family,” said Henry Patrick's mother, Tiffany. “Henry and Harry were combined into one person when UTR first gained prominence about three years ago, and every tournament either one played was credited to that one person.”
