Dear Mark,

I've researched a company that has a good platform for "tennisopolis" and they have a whole system based on some of the core principals that I think are critical to a good and well functional online challenge ladder community. The name of the company is called "Global Tennis Network" they have a site located here: globaltennisnetwork.com. I have seen a few dozen sites and this one seems to be the best well rounded one by far. Incase you need any further information or ideas, definitely let me know and I wish you luck in it's implementation. Have a great week and talk with you soon.

Sincerely,
Jason Lampione

Hello Mr. Mayor! I just joined Tennisopolis (literally) and immediately saw a request for an additional administrator for the site. Is the position already filled? Could you tell me what duties this title entails? Thanks.

I have been tuned into the Tennis Channel and have seen Clijsters and Henin battle each other the other night it was Dementieva and S Williams those matches just whet my appetite!!! I am so thankful for the tennis mix on DTV cause now I won’t have to miss a thing! CAN'T WAIT

Hey Mark,
thanks for the comment. As always I am glad to begin the new year with the Aussie Open; here in Canada all we talk about and watch is hockey all winter so the Aussie is a welcome chance to get back into the swing of things, and always rejuvenates my passion for the game. Of course, I will be cheering for Nadal again this season and am hoping he has a better season than last.

Hey Mark!
Great to be friends :)

About the pictures...I met Marco and Djole at the Niki Pillic academie in Munich :) I spoke to Niki about Marco's career in tennis and he said that he was far behind :( I don't think he will make it...as for Djole..that's a different story!

Just learning how to use this site. Where is it where I can post my photos? Here is a picture of one of my Holiday Tennis Budeez(TM) perfect for the upcoming St. Patrick's Day Tennis Budeez gift (c)Lafosse 2010

It's difficult at this point to tell who will have a better career. I always root for Caroline, but the problem with her is that she isn't consistent with her game. She has a lot of work ahead of her.

Azarenka's grunting is driving me nuts :) so I hope Wozniacki will be more successful.

What do you think about this article that Sharapovanovic wrote about Agnieszka Radwanska?

Actually you had welcomed me on April 20, 2008, although that one said it was a "generic" welcome message. This time it was personal :) Thank you Mark :)

Mark, I will give it a go once I know what the new club is all about. Switching clubs this year (i.e., to clay). Didn't find one on the initial search. Maybe something will materialize in Upstate NY as well. I needed another reason for more cross-border shopping.

Hey Mark, Thanks for the tips. I'm trying to find public and well-lit courts in the area of Mira Mesa & Scripps Ranch. I'm new to the area and would like some help on this. Does this website give court locations in San Diego county?
