The trip from Mobile back home to Kalamazoo was the flip side of the experience last Friday. Perfect flying weather, ideal connection, upgrade to first class--it was as if Northwest knew we couldn't handle another "adventure."
While I'm at a tournament, I tend to cocoon. I don't have the time to keep up with the news when I'm watching live tennis 12 hours a day and then writing about it, but a few items broke through the tournament shield in the past couple of days. A friend mentioned this New York Times story about Denis Kudla and Junior Ore's daily training routine at Junior Tennis Champions Center in College Park, Maryland.
Charlie Bricker of the Sun-Sentinel is following the prospects of the still vacant High Performance position very closely, and with Craig Tiley, Patrick McEnroe and now, according to Bricker, Todd Martin no longer in the running, he assesses some additional candidates. Bricker did not mention Tiley as a possible candidate when he first put forth some names last fall, (the link to that story is no longer available), but in today's column, he now seems convinced Tiley would have been ideal, even though he was not a former pro star.
The acceptances for the next tournament on my schedule, the ITF Grade 1 International Spring Championships in Carson, Calif., which begins in two weeks, are out. See usta.com for the tournament fields and other information.
