Australian Open Preview - Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Oy, Oy, Oy Novak goes for a 3 peat! Novak Djokovic is the world #1 now and he is playing for his 3rd straight Aussie Open title. I would be hard pressed to pick anyone else. Andy Murray had a spectacular summer with his wins at the US Open and the Olympics and will be Novak’s major competition. Of course you never count out 'The King', Roger Federer, and in my opinion, the best ever can still compete for the title. Surprises this year - look for Juan Martin Del Potro, Sam Querry, and Tommy Haas to do well if they can get favorable draws. Tim's BlogWednesday, August 22, 2012
US Open Preview It has been a busier summer than usual in tennis. In addition to the traditional slams of the French and Wimbledon, we had the World Team Tennis season, the hard court master’s events leading up to the US Open, and this summer also saw some exciting tennis provided by the participants in the Olympics on the Wimbledon grounds in London!

Wimbledon Preview: Strawberries and Cream with Tennis in Between! This year’s Wimbledon is as wide open as it’s ever been. The unpredictability of grass courts makes it even more difficult to choose the winner! Any of the top five men in the draw could hoist the trophy this year. I am picking Novak Djokovic, the current world number one to bounce back after losing the French final. However, Roger Federer, Rafa Nadal, British hope Andy Murray and Jo-Wilfred Tsonga all have a legitimate shot to win. In addition to the title, Federer and Nadal both have an opportunity to regain the number one ranking with a victory here. Tim's BlogThursday, December 8, 2011
Barclay Championships 2011 Jan and I recently attended the ATP Championships in London, sponsored by Barclay. I can only describe the whole experience as AWESOME! The tennis was incredible and the hospitality shown to the players guests even better. Tim's BlogMonday, May 9, 2011
Heineken Open - Panasonic Smash Eric Butorac and Jean-Julien Rojer try to break the Panasonic DMC-FT10 Shock & Waterproof camera with their serving. Tim's BlogWednesday, March 4, 2009
The Outliers I recently finished reading a book entitled The Outliers, by Malcolm Caldwell. An outlier is any person who is above the norm or average in any field be it music, business, sport or whatever. The constant among all these outliers is that sometime in their background, they put in 10,000 hours of practice or training. To put this into tennis terms, I feel any player who puts in their 10,000 hours on the court or hitting 10,000 carts of balls, will find themselves improving rapidly, passing up their opponents. Certainly, athletic ability, talent and even genetics are a part of the formula, but the largest percentage of mastering a skill comes from practice and persistence.

Tournament Tennis Watching our juniors compete this past Christmas break, I was impressed with how it seemed to bring out their best. I saw great sportsmanship and great focus from everyone. Competing in a tournament in front of a small crowd can be nerve-wracking and really test your self-esteem. Our juniors handled the situation well and should be applauded for their efforts win or lose! Tim's BlogMonday, December 15, 2008
Turkey Tennis - 2008 It has been an exciting month of tennis at the RTC. Tim's BlogMonday, December 15, 2008
National Father/Son Tournament 2008 Recently, I had a great weekend in San Diego, CA competing in the National Father/Son Hard courts tournament with my son Eric. I can’t think of a more enjoyable thing to do. Spend time with your family, in a beautiful setting playing the great game of tennis. How did we do? We went for the gold, but settled for the bronze.
