Greg Sharko Walking Media Guide  |

by: Lou Fuller

Greg Sharko is officially the Director of Media Information. That is so perfect. It describes him , a little. Greg is the heart And soul of the ATP. He has been a guardian of the game for as long as we can remember. Gregs passion for the sport of tennis is un matched. He is a walking encyclopedia. He remembers players birthdays and kids and parents and coaches and hack writers. Ask us. We know.

Greg goes back with Geezer so long they can’t remember…

10sballs.com is applauding Greg (editor in chief ) for dedicating the 2012 media guide to former top tenner Jim Mc Manus. Jim passed away in 2011 and was a founding father of the current ATP tour.

We only just received our 2012 media guide. Normally we have right as the Auzzie is starting … We found a treasure on page 193.

Year by year country title leaders starting in 1973 till 2011. The numbers are crazy. Spain has dominated since 2007. The us dominated from 1973 till 1985. Switzerland dominated in 2006,2004,.. Both years that was all Roger Federer. ….

Here’s the list. It’s worth sending around and reviewing. Bravo Greg Sharko.
