New Zealand |

Our hearts go out to the people of New Zealand…. the destruction appears massive… We truly hope the tennis community comes together and puts on a fundraiser in Indian wells or Miami…. The money doesn’t bring back lost loved ones but it helps rebuild… Many of 10sballs.com staff live in southern California. We know the fear and destruction caused by earthquakes…. In today’s Desert Sun it was reported that the head tennis pro at Thunderbird Country Club, Mike Fedderly, is over there for the Senior Cup. Word is he is fine as well as the rest of the team.

ATP World Tour. 63 tournaments. 32 countries. On 6 continents. When something happens in the world it happens to the tennis family. Tennis is a global sport. This site reports any and all news from Belarus to Brooklyn (just send it to submissions@10sballs.com). Oh …that’s the max Mirnyi story… Max is one of the greatest guys on the planet! The same can be said about his dad, Nikolai….. And dearest Max our numbers stink in Belarus? So please guys help spread the word during Davis cup and good luck big guy!!!!

If you haven’t read Fred Mullane’s memories of Arthur Ashe, it’s a must read. Up on site now. Fred knew Arthur well. We had to beg for these precious words. Fred Mullane, besides being one of the world’s best tennis cameramen for three decades, you can write. Really write. Thank you again. Thanks Susan too, I’m sure you were the vermouth…. the Mullane’s are like a perfect martini… we are lucky to have two of the world’s best photographers. Susan and Fred Mullane. Camerawork USA.

Topics: Arthur Ashe, fred mullane, max mirniyi, mike fedderly, susan mullane

TENNIS GOSSIP FROM THE 2018 U.S. OPEN • WTA | ATP • FEDERER HAS PLAYED 1,424 MATCHES WITHOUT A “RETIREMENT”

The only way to describe this U.S. open is soaking wet without raining... It's really hard to play tennis when your socks are soaking wet and you are "sloshing" in your shoes. Your shoes get really heavy when they get wet.
