Mark / The Mayor commented on patrick m's blog post 'read all your tennis news online at Tennis15-30 digital tennis magazine.'"Thanks for sharing this. I was actually surprised at how few advertisements there are. I think I counted 3 or 4 total. The magazine is short, but they do have Peter Bodo and USTA on board.
