Hi Mark, thanks for the Nalbandian shot, I'm posting it on my blog today! Speaking of blogs, if you could give me a little assist like you mentioned before about linking my blog to the main page that would be great!

I'm really digging this site. It's great!

Hi Mark, I appreciate this website, very cool. First, I love the artists' studio you designed. Very chic. :)

I'm excited about the draw competition. So far I'm 9 for 16. Nothing to brag about, but it makes watching tennis that more exciting, so thank you again.

Just a side note; do you write on tennis talk at all?
Because some of your pictures are being posted there.

Hey Mark, I am trying to do a search for potential tennis connects in my area. I am new and trying to learn how to search according to geographic location and also how to send a "friend request " of sorts!
Help!

Is there an opportunity to create a Tennisopolis virtual Tennis T shop for customizable group shirts or for at-large purchases of generic designs. They could all have a Tennisopolis bug as the brand name.

Hey Mark!
I can't believe you called me a Jirk!
I'm so offended!! LOL THis is really funny, but if you look on your comment you left me you accidentally hit the "J" instead of the "K" which of course is right next to it!!
Ha Ha!

hi Mark :)

i'm a web developer also, and was wondering if there was any opportunity to create a group "calendar" where group members could post their level and availability....all members could then view the calendar, see what member matches them in schedule & ability? I find that alot of times there's alot of back n forth to just get that initial information....
i'd love to help out with the coding if possible!

best,
ellen

Cool studio you designed. I would eventually like to remodel my house with some modern flare. Not sure on how to even begin the process. Are you an architect?

Dear Mark Yes, I am in the left with Gonzo and Ezequiel, my son. This photo was taken last year when Gonzo was here and come to Buenos Aires for training.
My son is playing in Futures level now but I hope he will play some challenger tournament along this year. The most important problem to the players from countrys like Argentina is the high costs to make, to develop the career because we must to pay the travels, hotels, coach, etc, etc and we have argentine pesos to make that. Poor money. Regards Jorge
