Building An American Nadal; UNC's Kearney Charged in Accident

Last month I spoke at length with Geoffrey Gray of New York Magazine, who was writing a pre-U.S. Open story on the USTA's Boca Raton High Performance facility. Focusing on Chase Buchanan, the story, entitled "Building The American Nadal, was released today, and it delves as much into Buchanan's junior career as it does the USTA's change of direction with this bricks and mortar initiative. For those of us with a keen interest in player development, the specifics aren't as interesting as the big picture, but for a general interest magazine, not a sports or tennis-related one, it does provide insight into the junior tennis subculture.

Yesterday's college tennis news was all positive; not so today, with the Raleigh News&Observer's story on the arrest of North Carolina men's tennis player Chris Kearney following an accident that injured two pedestrians.
