Great Post! :) Funniest thing I've read in a while! Thanks for sharing! :)

True - I have close ties - I lived in the area at one time. But only because I went through the program and so did my sister - I'm an advocate and a believer - nothing else than that...

Also an IMG alumni (as was my sister). The training is awesome there. It was a very cool life experience too because there are kids there from all over the world there in all sports. They have activities and summer camp type stuff after tennis. What is best is I had an opportunity to work...

lol Agassi's book was a joke - what a victim!

I went and so did my sister. I went to the summer camp and she went to their full time tennis program. She ended up with a full college scholarship. I ended up playing in college partial scholarship. Honestly I have nothing but positive things to say about it. It's 5-6 hours of tennis a day...

I have to agree 100% on this one - there are only a few full time tennis academies with unparalleled records of producing champions year after year. I'll take a stab at it. 1) IMG Bollettieri 2) Saddlebrook Hopman 3) Sanchez Spain

I believe it is true, in my opinion, absolutely no question about it - like it or not. If Federer was American it would be different - would he big Tiger Woods? No. But he would do more for tennis than he does. Why? What's America's biggest export? It's not corn, gas, wheat, technology, or...

Not that I know of and I have some info.

Talent meets training.

Fair question - IMHO it comes down to ability, competition, and focus. First of all ability (to pay), if it is or isn't within your means, scholarship or not. Many people look at it as an investment towards a college scholarship. Next is the competition factor. Most clubs do not have the...

FL is easy - check out Bollettieri or Saddlebrook - of the two, IMG is the best.

Well said. So true.

I love that site. I find it very useful. Wish more sports had the equivalent.

Bollettieri for the best <intense> training experience - It's like Disneyland for tennis. Saddlebrook for a nice tennis vacation.

Agassi is a bitter victim. Bollettieri coached the kid from age 12 - 24 - and he was #1 in the world - respect.

Bollettieri has a program called College Advantage. Go to summer camp and sign up for tat your sophmore year.

Cool post. Nice to see.

lol same here.

IMHO True .

EZ Borg / McEnroe Evert / Navratilova

She deserved a bigger fine and a longer ban.

I have no idea why everyone can't understand that this is what's involved with successfully promoting a book - sensationalism sells - It has all of us talking...

That would make sense - she is 6'2 - which is really tall for a gal -

totally disagree totally IMHO commercial motives - tennis stuff and women would not create this buzz.

IMHO - he's just selling books.

US Open even above Wimbledon

I like 2 that are already out - You cannot be serious and Winning Ugly

Perhaps more so than usual - and I'm not happy about that. But compared to most other pro sports - sheesh - not even close...
