This post makes no sense nor did your last one. Do us a favor and quit while you're ahead (or learn to speak/write English correctly).

BTW, the 2 APD's are for sale. So, you may want to consider investing in a real racquet

I will not be playing at the Aussie open next year. Sorry to disappoint everyone but I need to be at work, also I'm not very good.

Ah, but the difference is that you were not invited. I was, and declined. Stupid guys decided to film on a working day, so only retired people could show up.

To clarify the mystery of this thread, let me explain a little more. Tennis channel has a lot of programs showing "Destination this or that" where they have a few shots of rec players, and tons of shots of the good looking Mieka Buchan. There has not been a single program on rec players. This group of people who will be featured belong to a tennis network: http://www.tennis-sandiego.com/. We pay a small yearly fee and $5 each time we play. The venues are upscale resorts and clubs and the emphasis is on the social aspect, with most players heading to the bar after tennis (the bar will also be featured in the program). Most of us also belong to a primary club and use this network to widen our group of players. A similar network has been created in LA by the same guy who originally started this one: http://www.ca*********work.com/. (that would be ca tennis network) It is high time tennis media started covering the ordinary folks who play tennis and constitute the backbone of the industry.

Then why are you selling them?

Some pretty smart reasons to film on a work day, rather than a day that's convenient for you:

A. THEY were working, so it makes perfect sense to do it on a work day.
B. With less people on the courts and fewer gawkers milling around, it's a lot easier for them to get their job done in a timely fashion.
C. They were being considerate to people who work, can only play tennis on the weekend and would rather have courts available than be on some goofy TV show.

And two other possible factors:
D. Union TV employees probably get time-and-a-half for weekend work.
E. The club/resort/city/court operators/whoever may have insisted they film when they did.

Then maybe you should post on this boards, or mail/phone the players directly if you were actually responsible for organization, which...obviously...you're not. And no....nobody cares, if you DON'T get into an "extras" shot on a cable tv show. Talk about attention seeking! lol.

Fewace is too young and too good a player for this demographic.

OH neat! Too bad you didn't get to be in it though, that would've been a fun experience.

But don't judge based on the standard of the folks you see. I am way above them in skill.

Well since nobody from these forums has actually met Fedace and we don't have video of him playing, you could be completely off the mark on both counts.
