Mark,

It is nice to meet a fellow tennis addict, that does not want to be cured.. I'm in Colorado Springs, only come your way twice a year. I am a Athletic, Academic, and College Consultant. I coach tennis on the side to a select group. There is a tournament in Denver, that I think you would really enjoy. It is the
Gates tournament in Denver. The Open divisions pay $1000.00
singles, doubles, mixed. levels are 3.5-5.0. It is in the heart of Denver next to the Cherry Creek Mall. Geat family vacation. If your children are young we have the zoo, childrens museum, butterfly pavillion, and of course the mall for your wife right across the street from the courts. Thanks for inviting me in.

You seriously need to get the side chat bar up and running again! Everything just seems so dead without it.. not one person is in chat right now throughout this whole day of Open play!..

Glad I didn't enter the pick-em though, some mighty close almost upsets this time around!

Andrew (Tampa Bay)

eh only when you want to scroll :P, classic LOL saying "No, you da man" before I had a chance to say it rofl.

Fell asleep after the 3rd set, oops. Woke up with 20 minutes left.

Hi Mark,
Still wiating for your response. Would you mind dropping me a line at least to let me know you have receuived my request. Thanks!

Andrew (Tampa Bay)

Wow, what a match last night! I turned it on and walked back in with Fish up 2-0 in the first set. I was like *jaw drop* Then I started pulling for the upset just because there were so many close ones but only one or two that were successful, which of course I missed.

I really like Fish's style of play, it's nice to see the serve in volley technique still works, especially against the world No. 1! Didn't really seem like No. 1 after a while though because he never seemed to catch on to it, because even after Fish would miss the first serve and run towards the net, he'd make the second and come in again and Rafa would basically just set himself up for it!

Ha! Yeah I'm I geocacher... you say that almost like it's a bad thing! Well it can be an addiction... and yes, I'm more interested in playing with the map than in what it might say, but it would be nice to see groups too. I'll keep trying, thanks for the posts.
