US Open TV TroublesWE IN TALLAHASSEE HAVE BEENfrustrated for several years, not being ableto watch the US Open on Labor Day! Thelocal CBS station carries the Jerry LewisTelethon instead of the US Open. We havecomplained but no results. The real prob-lem is giving the TV rights to CBS to startwith. Who does this, USTA? My sugges-tion is to give the TV rights to another net-work so avoid the conflict or also televisethe Labor Day matches on a cable chan-nel. I did see where ESPN will have TVrights next year but not on the weekends.I assume this also includes Labor Day buthope not. I assume other areas have thissame problem. We need a change!

No Glory in PlayboyI AM WRITING CONCERNING Arecent article published in the Sept./Oct.issue of Play Tennis Florida. You have manygood articles about players and their com-mitment to society including [James] Blakeand his Cancer research fund. However,on page 26 of the magazine you publishedan article about [Ashley] Harkleroad pos-ing for Playboy. That was completely inap-propriate. It does nothing to promote ten-nis in a good light. Tennis is a classier gamethan that. Her personal choices and in-volvement in pornography will be madeknown to those that wish to read Playboyand should not be promoted in a tennismagazine just because she plays tennis.You have a variety of ages that read yourmagazine and younger children and teensor anyone for that matter should not besubjected to the glory placed on Playboy.

As the “Official Magazine” of USTAFlorida I think both Play Tennis Florida andUSTA Florida should be embarrassedabout this publication. I hope in the future

Letter of the Month:Rated No Fun for AnyoneKELLY PACE WILSON ONLY LOSTone game in five singles matches in the Na-tional 5.0 women’s. Yet when the USTALeague Tennis national manager was ques-tioned one month before nationals as to thevalidity of this person’s rating, she repliedto the 5.0 team captain who questioned her,“I do hope you will come and participatewith enthusiasm and enjoy the eventrather than worrying about one playerwho might be too good, please enjoy theexperience.”

In fact it was not a joyful experience forany of the competitors. The 5.0 ladies teamsfelt they were cheated, it affected everyteam who participated. Northern Califor-nia should not have brought home theNational 5.0 title, they should be DQ’d.

It is still unknown how this person wasable to play 5.0-level tennis when none ofher career highlights fit into the definitionof a 5.0 player or even a 5.5 player. Theattempt was made to get the attention ofUSTA officials to look at this person’s rat-ings before she appeared at nationals. Theattempt was made in an effort to preventsomething like this from happening. Butthe attempts and concerns were not takenseriously and the USTA national managerdid not even reply when she was askedhow this individual received a 5.0 rating.Obviously everyone is not treated equallyfrom state to state. As long as this contin-ues, the USTA will continue to lose 5.0 andabove players. They have already lostmany 5.0 players who attended the debaclethis year.

Suggestions have been made in the pastto improve the rating system by includinga USTA sectional verifier with the existing

computer ranking system. This will pre-vent anyone who happens to “fall underthe radar” — as the Northern Cal captainsaid about Kelly Pace — from occurring.

Suggestions have also been made tochange the 5.0 guidelines to include 5.5players — 5.5s would be paired against oneanother. This will also prevent situationslike this occurring. The 5.5 players do nothave a team to play on, and unfortunatelyresort to any tactic to get on a team. Eventhough they know they don’t belong! Sochange the format and let them play. Afterall, they have been playing tennis longerthan most.

It is important for everyone to speak outin this regard, and ask for change. And,an explanation should be given as to howthis happened. At least the captain of the5.0 team who initially inquired should re-ceive the courtesy of a reply.

Justine Henin was on top of thetennis world earlier this year,entering the French Open as thethree-time defending champion.Then, prior to the start of the

event, she quit tennis — forever.“I feel lucky about the life I had and

it’s been intense for me,” Henin toldPlay Tennis Florida.

“Life is different steps and this onewas big this year and now I havedifferent things to do with my life likewith my academies and other projects.I will never come back, but I will stayinvolved, just not on the court like Idid before.”

Henin was on the court in lateSeptember, but this time in a teachingcapacity. She announced she had luredfitness guru Pat Etcheberry away fromthe Saddlebrook resort to bring his“Etcheberry Experience, Strength andConditioning for Serious Sports”program to her new 6th Sense TennisAcademy at Mission Inn Resort andClub, just outside of Orlando.Etcheberry will also work with junior

The communication is the result ofthe tight-knit group of Henin, BelgianAlain De Vos who serves as generaldirector of the academy, and Henin’sformer coach Carlos Rodriguez, whoDe Vos has worked with for 21 years.

similar fashion to the QuickStartprogram recently introduced by theUSTA. At age 8 she started playing ona 36-foot court, then a 60-foot courtuntil she learned stroke fundamentalsand a solid foundation, a commonteaching practice in Europe.

USTA Florida is assisted by over 600 volunteers who serve at variouslevels of our organization. Transitioning to a new administration involvesestablishing councils/committees/task forces as deemed necessary. Thisis a function of the incoming president and includes the appointment ofnew volunteers and reappointment of many of our current volunteers tosection councils, committees, task forces and to county representativeposition. As you might guess, Donn Davis as the incoming presidentand chairman of the board has already been engaged in one of the mostimportant and demanding phases of his job during the latter half of thisyear.

Serving as chairman of the board whose functions are related to gov-ernance, policy, fiduciary development and oversight is a rewarding re-sponsibility. I want to take this opportunity to express my appreciationfor the contributions of our current and incoming volunteer leadershipwho have worked and will continue to work hand in hand with DougBooth, our executive director, to tackle challenging issues to ensure ourorganization stays healthy and relevant in our rapidly changing envi-ronment and the unpredictability of today’s economic world.

I was privileged to be present at the meeting of the Florida Cabinet onSeptember 30 that formerly approved the Play Tennis specialty plate.This is an exciting accomplishment by the USTA Florida Section Founda-tion; and particularly important during these times of budgetary short-falls. We are asking our USTA members, along with the multitude oftennis players and tennis enthusiasts in Florida to continue to show theirsupport of tennis by purchasing a Play Tennis specialty plate. That actalone will greatly contribute toward our mission of promoting and de-veloping tennis in Florida by expanding the visibility of the tennis brandtremendously as well as assisting in the support and expansion of tenniscourts and quality programs throughout our state.

Finally, I am looking forward to the 59th Annual Meeting & VolunteerAppreciation Weekend scheduled for Dec. 5-7 at Clearwater. In additionto recognizing USTA Florida volunteer successes during its annual awardsluncheon and breakfast and hosting a regional tennis challenge, the week-end will include a beach party for invited volunteers and guests, a Pro-am, a live and silent auction, amazing raffle prizes and a dinner dance.Community involvement is essential to the success of the weekend soplease visit our website to see how you can get involved.

VOLUNTEER OF THE MONTH

November VOM - Carl Weathington

In November, USTA Florida gives thanks to longtime volunteer and lifetime USTAmember, Carl Weathington of Tallahassee. Carl has served on numerous councils forthe section since 1987, and is now ending a volunteer position as Grievance Committee

Chairman on the Adult League Council. During the past 18 years, Carl has worked as atournament director for many region and section USTA League Tennis tournaments, includ-ing the 2007 BMW Combo Section Championships and Adult Mixed Section Champion-ships. Combined, those two tournaments welcomed close to 1,500 tennis players!

“I like to see players enjoy their time, play great matches and want to continue playing inUSTA events,” Carl said. “One thing I’ve tried to do is develop new volunteers to possiblywork as tournament directors for future events. I’d like to expand that into a full tournamentdirector training track to improve tournaments while lowering costs where possible.”

Carl may work behind the desk as a tournament director, or stay busy organizing teamsas a captain or growing leagues as a local league coordinator, but you will certainly see himon the tennis court as well. He recently competed in his first Super Senior regional leagueevent and finished second at the 4.0 Senior Section Championships in May 2008 with histeam from Tallahassee. Locally, he was one of the founding members of the Tallahassee Ten-nis Association and received recognition by the city when he was selected for the “Walk ofFame” for service to tennis in Tallahassee.

During his 20 years of volunteerism for the section, Carl has collected highly-regardedhonors including Tennis Family of the Year, Male Merit Award, League Coordinator of theYear and Association ofthe Year (TallahasseeTennis Association).

“The growth andfriendship I have re-

ceived from USTA Florida staff members and volunteers overthe years is why I like to volunteer in tennis,” Carl said. “TheUSTA volunteer community is special and I am proud to be partof it.”

QUICK Q&A:Q. What was your earliest tennis memory?A. Playing tennis when I was about 10 years old on a smoothed-over corn field in north Alabama with lime chalk marking thelines. We could only play after the crops were in. Very few peopleplayed in that small town so I’d only get to play when my fam-ily and relatives were in town. The lights were three street lightshung on lose wires over the courts and balls just rolled untilthey stopped.

Q. If you could play tennis with three people, who would theybe?A. My dad, my son and John McEnroe.

Q. When you are not playing tennis you are?A. Riding my motorcycle or fishing.

Q. What is your best-ever tennis memory?A. My first USTA regional tennis tournament I played. It wasin Pensacola and I was playing on a 4.0 team. We lost, but theweekend and camaraderie left a mark on me that I will neverforget.

McKenna: Firefighter/Paramedic’s Tennis Game on FireIN JULY 2008, VESNA MCKENNA OF HOLLYWOOD WALKED AWAY WITH HER FIRST GOLD BALL after a win at the USTANational Women’s 40 Grass Court Singles Championships in Forest Hills, N.Y. Three months earlier, she claimed the doubles titlewith Joanne Russell of Naples at the USTA National Women’s 40 Clay Court Championships in Pensacola. Vesna, 43, recentlyreturned to the adult competitive circuit in October 2007 after a 10-year hiatus to focus on her career as afirefighter/paramedic at Miami-Dade Fire and Rescue, and her role as a wife and mother.

Vesna was an All-American tennis player at Broward Community College (BCC). In 1996, she ledBCC to its first National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Division I Tennis Championship,winning national titles in both singles and doubles. She took a long hiatus from competitive tennis, butnow she is back making her mark in the adult competitive circuit.

TT: Why did you get back into tennis?VM: Between getting married, having a son, and going through training to becomea firefighter, tennis was in the background. Last October, I decided to get back inshape and just training alone wasn’t enough, so I figured ‘Hey, let me pick up theracquet again and see what’s going on.’ My first tournament back was the 2007 USTANational Women’s 40 Clay Court Championships in Pensacola.TT: How do you feel about the level of the adult competitive tennis circuit in Florida?VM: I think it is very tough. The younger divisions are very tough. You really need toput in a lot of time and work on your tennis game. You cannot take anything forgranted because you are playing against people that have been practicing for the last 25years. You really have to train and cannot just go out there and think you are going to blow any-body away on the court.TT: In a short time, you have achieved a tentative ranking as the No. 1 women’s player in theWomen’s 40s in Florida and a No. 2 ranking nationally. What is the secret to your success?VM: I do have a big serve and I think I hit the ball pretty hard, but you have to adjust to all differenttypes of games and be able to play against all different types of players. The key though is consis-tency. The consistency of women on the competitive circuit is absolutely amazing. It is an under-rated quality. And these women are absolutely amazing because between work and kids and get-ting in shape, it is pretty amazing that they can juggle between playing all the tournaments, train-ing, doing other duties, and still be such an athlete and competitor. So it is pretty neat.TT: How often do you train?VM: I try to train every day after work; I am not going to lie about that. I work 24 hours on and 48hours off and every time I am off, I try and get to the tennis courts [Vesna plays at Ft. LauderdaleTennis Club]. If you want to be at that level, you have to put the hours. There is no way that you canbe good at that high level without putting hours on the court.TT: Talk about your win at the Grass Court National Championships and what that meant toyou.VM: I was very, very happy because I wanted to win really bad on the grass and get my first gold ball. It was really amazing becauseI was seeded No. 3 and I played the No. 1 seed in my semifinal. I had lost the first set 6-4 and was down 5-2 in the second, 15-40, andhad match point against me. Somehow I was able to turn it around and won 7-6(5), 6-4. She [Amy Alcini] is a good player and I wasso happy to come out with the win because it was a 3 hour and 40 minute match on the grass; it was pure endurance.TT: And the final?VM: In the final I played well, but I choked a little bit serving for the match because I was out of practice serving for a national title.I don’t care how much practice you get, but if you play for your first national title, first ball for me, it was very emotional and I wasvery happy. All the work paid off to win at such a traditional place. I like the old tradition in the game.TT: What are some memorable tennis highlights in your career?VM: When I played the national title for Broward Community College because it was the first title for my coach, Tom Burke,and I was happy for him because he was looking for so long for that title. And then, of course, winning the national singles titleon grass.

Vesna represented the USA in the individual competition at the World Team Championships last month, competing in both singles and doubles.She partnered with Carolyn Nichols of California.

Florida Junior Tennis — Something to Be Thankful ForANDY ON JUNIORS

Andy GladstoneDirector ofCompetitive Tennis

Photo Op by Colette Lewis

Sloane StephensFIFTEEN-YEAR-OLD SLOANE STEPHENS OF BOCA RATON hashad one memorable moment after another on the tennis court thissummer. With a wildcard into women’s qualifying at the US Open,Stephens stunned WTA tour veteran Melinda Czink of Hungary, rankedjust outside the Top 100, in straight sets. Stephens then teamed withRobert Kendrick in the mixed doubles main draw to score anotherupset, taking out top seeds Daniel Nestor of Canada and Chia-JungChuang of Chinese Taipei in the opening round.

Stephens’ doubles success continued in the US Open juniorchampionships where she and frequent partner Mallory Burdettereached the finals of the girl’s doubles. Stephens and Burdette wereunseeded in New York, but the pair, who train at Nick Saviano’s HighPerformance Tennis Academy in Sunrise, lost only one set en route tothe championship match. A straight-set loss to No. 3 seeds NoppawanLertcheewakarn of Thailand and Sandra Roma of Sweden didn’tdampened the spirits of the reigning Easter Bowl doubles champions.

“It was a great opportunity and I’m happy to have made the finals,”Stephens said.

Stephens also expressed her appreciation for the mixed doubleswildcard. “Playing with Kendrick was great; it was so much fun. Beatingthe No. 1 seeds was amazing and I was happy to be able to play.”

Stephens also made history in September, as a member of the U.S. Junior Fed Cup team that earned the 16-and-under ITFworld team title in Mexico. It was the first championship for the U.S. in Junior Fed Cup play.

Thanksgiving is always one of my favorite holidays, not just because of the delicious food and familygatherings, but it encourages everyone to be thankful. Boy, with an extremely scary economy, an often-criticized government and a war in Iraq, the cynic would quickly shoot back at me and say it's getting

pretty tough to be thankful for anything these days. However, we must be really thankful for all the goodthings in our lives. We still live in a country with endless opportunities, safety measurements for all people andplentiful food. Cutting to the chase, we must all remember to be thankful for junior competitive tennis inFlorida and all the rewards it brings.Happy Thanksgiving to all and here's my Top 10 list of what we should all be thankful for in junior competitivetennis:

1. The kids are not just in good physical shape, but great physical shape.With childhood obesity at an all time high, it is such a breath of fresh air to walk around tournaments and see

so many not just fit, but super fit! We are not just talking about being skinny; these kids are strong and muscular. Their bodies are theproof of their dedication to exercise. Win or lose, tennis is a great form of exercise.2. Builds great parent-child relationships. What better way to really get to know your child than traveling to tourna-ments together. Car rides, hotel rooms and many meals together is a great formula for a successful relationship. No doubt, everyparent will tell you the challenges, but I would rather spend the weekend with my children at a tournament than sitting aroundwatching television all weekend.3. Florida has great coaches, lots of them and at a great price. After visiting my friend in Provo, Utah who has twohighly-nationally-ranked sons, he explained how few tournament coaches there are even close to his house. Luckily he was a greatplayer and is able to train them, but he was very familiar with Florida and told me how lucky we are to have so many top-notchcoaches at an affordable price. How true his words rang to me; Florida is just a haven for great coaches.

4. Teaches kids lifetime skills. Playing tournament tennis is not for the meek, but no matter how successful your results,battling and training on the courts build lifetime skills. The graduates of our system can tell you how they learned time management,self-discipline and perseverance all on the tennis courts.5. Great networking -- It is so refreshing to see players look forward to not just playing tennis at a tournament, but theyespecially look forward to seeing their friends from around the state or even around the country at the national tournaments. I wasso pleased to have my 8-year-old daughter, who is a Daytona resident, paired with a girl from Tampa at the Doubles State Closed.The networking does not just end in the juniors, but grows into lifelong friends and contacts. Also, don't forget about how manyparents have made friends over the years as well.6. Travel -- What a great way to raise children by touring our state, the country, or even the world. The internet phenomenon hasmade everyone connected, but there is no substitute for actually being there. It always amazes me what accomplished travelers wehave on our ranking lists.7. We live in a state with so many great players -- Many parents have commented about the challenges of theirchildren getting into certain events or the USTA's quota system with regards to Florida, but as the saying goes, "If you want to be alion, you must hang around the lions." Yes, Florida has a lot of lions and they raise the ceiling for everyone.8. Play year round, abundance of courts -- I still remember growing up in New York and watching the die-hard tenniscommunity play in below-freezing weather, paying $60 plus per hour for a court, or seeing droves of sleepy kids on Saturdaymorning choosing to play from 6-8 a.m. because it was free. What a place we live where you can usually find a court to hit on atanytime.9. So many national tournaments right here -- The cost of air travel is through the roof these days, but we are sofortunate to have the national tournaments within driving distance. Florida has over 10 national events where most of our playersdon't have to step on a plane.10. It's just plain old fun! -- I always want people to remember why we all start to play this great game. We want to have agood time and let's always remember this. Players who keep the fun going play better and stay in our game longer.

You’re a senior and some of your friends have already started applying to college, but you haven’t.Don’t worry; it’s not too late to get started with the application process.Understanding the admission process may help relieve some of the stress you and your parents

will feel during your senior year. Hopefully, you at least started some of the prerequisite work. The collegeapplication process is much like applying for a job. You need to emphasize the positive — although, youneedn’t present yourself as a perfect student. Your goal is to find the right fit for you, not your parents oryour friends.

The most important thing you can do through the whole process is make sure that you keep track of ALLapplication and financial aid deadlines. Each school has its own timeline, so use the chart I have in my CollegeGuide.

Timeline for application/decision process:

Junior Year (very basic)• Attend college fairs in your area. If there isn’t one being held at your school, try to find one that is being held in your county.• Start making a list of schools that may be of interest to you; during the year you may add to or delete from that list. Startresearching.Senior YearColleges have different kinds of applications — some use online, several use a common application — each school looks for differentthings on an application. What do colleges look for from a prospective student? Yes, they look at your GPA, Class Rank and SAT/ACTscores, but that’s only a start.

Admissions Offices will also take into consideration the following:

• Grades — most schools have a minimum GPA. As a prospective student-athlete, the NCAA sets GPA and Test Scores standardson a sliding scale.

• Test scores — you don’t need perfect test scores, but if you are looking to get some scholarship aid, your scores should be at thehigh end of a particular school's requirements.

• Course of Study — whether or not you’ve pushed yourself to take a challenging schedule.

• Extracurricular Activities — as a student-athlete, you’ve already added this to your resume. However; tennis isn’t theonly activity — schools look for community service hours. If your high school doesn’t require it for graduation, it would behooveyou to start earning some of these hours as soon as you can.

• Letters of Recommendation — these are a key component of your portfolio, so make sure that you ask people who knowyou pretty well. Admission officers want to get an idea of what others think of you, be it your guidance counselor, a favoriteteacher, your coach, etc. Make sure you give the people you choose to do this plenty of time to write one. Don’t walk up and let meknow you need it tomorrow — bad idea. Thank them for taking time out of their busy lives to do this for you.

• Interview — although interviews are not required, they are highly recommended. Just because the tennis coach may knowwho you are, it’s the admissions office that makes the final decision. There is a good book, Campus Visits and College Interviews, byZola Dincin Schneider, that I recommend if you are concerned about this.

• Application Essay — each college places a very different importance on the essay. For some smaller schools it can be the No.1 criteria. Large universities get thousands of applications a year and therefore essays may be a bit further down their priority list.You may want to ask the admissions department how much emphasis is placed on the essay. I recommend a book by Sarah MyersMcGinty, The College Application Essay to help you through this important part of the college application process.
