Caroline Wozniacki is number one in the world again. Yay! BIG congrats! We love the Danish player nicknamed “sunshine.” We were hoping it could be this fast to regain her position…. Not that we weren’t happy for Kim…. Two great ladies of our sport….
Patches. Patches. Patches. I’ve spent the day ordering new ones. I wish the suits knew how hard they make it to properly market or sell our sport. Tennis in this century should allow the players to completely “billboard ” themselves… Sleeve for rent? … tennis careers are fairly short. So why can’t every player capitalize on their time, exposure or popularity or a match on a show court? A match that will be seen worldwide…. Why do we have to limit all tennis logos to the rules the suits made?? The rules need another look…. I’ll take a look myself before I write more today…. I need to look up the warm up suit rule the suits made and enforce… do I think tennis players could/should look like racecar drivers. Maybe………
Black history month. I hope everyone’s read some things on the site…. We have more coming…. but let’s go back to Donald Mills of the world famous Mills Brothers. They made their first recording in the twenties. They recorded into nine decades. Donald and his bros grew up in Ohio. They started young in radio…. Literally as little boys. Funny…. I just realized the first time I ever saw them live was also at the HYATT grand champions, on the stadium court which was transformed into a stage. Donald and his son John performed with the count Basie orchestra…. It was a great sold out night… Donald loved tennis. Funny…. I just remembered a tennis match was the decider as to a Donald mills performance…. If Derrick Rostagno beat Jim Courier who was on fire with a winning streak (at number one) …Then one party could throw a party with the Mills … Way to go Derrick!!!!! Donald’s life intertwined with ours because of tennis…. It opens doors….. Have racket will travel….
