I was just looking at the red clay court in Germany. What is that building in the rear? Looks like public housing I would expect to see during the cold war.

That facility was in East Berlin. It's a pretty amazing city in that you can see the results of capitalism side by side with communism. |

Didn't scan the thread so I'm not sure if this is old news...Disney Wide World of Sports tennis complex is the site for a tourney hosted by USTA & FSU tennis. The tourney will be held Nov. 2-4 and will feature many NCAA players from top 1-A teams and top USTA junior players.
I'm not sure of any link to get more details...I first heard of it from the FSU athletics website.

Yes - I believe the Gators will be there. Probably a bit pricey to get in. It is Disney, afterall.

My wife has a friend who grew up in East Germany and even though nobody had money, she did feel like there was always a safety net. When the wall came down, the East Germans all felt very unsafe now having to compete for jobs. It's a really interesting story to me no matter where you sit on the political spectrum.
We are getting Disney passes as Xmas gifts this year. Now those are not cheap. |

Hey man, welcome back. There is a guy who strings at the shop down on I-drive who likes the Golden Set Velvet. I don't know if he has tried their polys though. I won't buy a reel without trying a set first, but that is just me. |

Speaking of giveaways, I think I've talked Jeff into trying a set of Thunder Blast. Still got 1 more to give away.

Will do. It's in the packaging so it won't be a bird's nest like some of the string I've given you in the past. |

Hey Mikeler,
I live in the Sanford/Orlando area and looking to find others that play. Im 24 years old, 4.5-5.0 solid player. Where can I go to find higher quality players to hit singles or doubles? Any pickup games around the area? Seems like you know the best areas to play and meet quality players. Thanks |

Easy answer is Orlando Tennis Center downtown. You can sometimes find pickup matches on the weekend mornings there and during weekday lunches. |

Thanks for the reminder. Bad Call, I'll be at OTC both mornings this weekend. Tomorrow I have to leave by 10 AM but hopefully I can stay until 11 AM or so on Sunday depending if Jeff has some dubs I can plug into. I'll also be down there Tuesday and Wednesday at 5 PM. |
