Posted on July 6, 2009 at 11:51pm 2 Comments

Paris AMS bracket challenge

Hey since all but one of us missed the last bracket challenge for Madrid, let see if we can finish the year with a bang by getting a good amount of entries for the last AMS event of the year in Paris! The tournament starts Monday but today is the first day of submitting your entries on Britishtennis.net. I'm sure this is the page where they'll put the link.

Hey Mike,
thanks for the response. I recently got my Adidas racquets out of mothballs and have started to hit again. The only problem is that its hard to find sawdust these days!!! I love leaving piles of it all over the courts back in the day.
