The President’s<br />
advantage<br />

Congratulations<br />
to all!<br />
Tt is spr<strong>in</strong>g time aga<strong>in</strong>, and tennis season<br />
has been <strong>in</strong> full sw<strong>in</strong>g for most of us for<br />
the last month or so. Whether you look<br />
forward to the new <strong>USTA</strong> league, another U.S.<br />
Open or your local mixer, I hope you will get<br />
more out of our great game <strong>in</strong> 2010 – and give<br />
a little back at the same time. There are many ways to support our sport<br />
at the local, state and national levels, and I encourage everyone to f<strong>in</strong>d a<br />
way you might help out. I hope to meet many more of our Texas players<br />
<strong>in</strong> my second and f<strong>in</strong>al <strong>year</strong> as section president. Although we are not the<br />
largest, it does not mean we are not the best. With everyone’s hard work,<br />
we will cont<strong>in</strong>ue to keep Texas tennis at the top of the game!<br />
In March, we hosted the <strong>USTA</strong> annual meet<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> Dallas and showed our<br />
fellow volunteers a great time. We had many long <strong>com</strong>mittee meet<strong>in</strong>gs<br />
but still had time to have a Texas-sized barbeque and country western<br />
dance. A special thanks to Whistler the Steer for be<strong>in</strong>g nice to everyone<br />
who had their picture taken, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g <strong>USTA</strong> president Lucy Garv<strong>in</strong> and<br />
ITF president Francesco Ricci Bitti sitt<strong>in</strong>g on the steer! They also had a<br />
mechanical bull that everyone really had a blast try<strong>in</strong>g to ride. We also<br />
were able to br<strong>in</strong>g back the gold, with our stellar team of Rick Meyers,<br />
Punam Kirsten, Emily Schaefer, Chad Loup and coach Frank Kelly pull<strong>in</strong>g<br />
out an outstand<strong>in</strong>g w<strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong> the first and probably last section “Snowdown.”<br />
A 36-foot quickstart, foam-ball event , was moved <strong>in</strong>doors due to the blizzard<br />
that hit Dallas; this turned out to be the hit of the meet<strong>in</strong>g. We also<br />
pulled off a w<strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong> the Wii tennis event, won by Jon Williams and Carlos<br />
Turic. Congratulations to all for <strong>com</strong>pet<strong>in</strong>g and support<strong>in</strong>g our team.<br />
S<strong>in</strong>ce this is the <strong>year</strong>book addition, I would like to congratulate all the<br />
ranked players for 2009 and wish everyone the best of luck <strong>in</strong> 2010. I<br />
understand the hard work that goes <strong>in</strong>to play<strong>in</strong>g the many tournaments<br />
dur<strong>in</strong>g the <strong>year</strong> and the hours of practice gett<strong>in</strong>g ready. If you achieved a<br />
national rank<strong>in</strong>g or won a gold, silver or bronze ball, a special congratulations<br />
to you.<br />
We have a special opportunity for all players this <strong>year</strong>. Arl<strong>in</strong>gton Tennis<br />
Center will host the U.S. Open Texas Section Pre-Qualify<strong>in</strong>g tournament<br />
June 21-26. This will be the last of 16 tournaments tak<strong>in</strong>g place around the<br />
country, so I expect full 256-player draws for both men and women. The<br />
entries are open now and will close June 7. What a great idea – a chance<br />
to <strong>com</strong>pete <strong>in</strong> the U.S. Open! I look forward to see<strong>in</strong>g you there, as I plan<br />
on <strong>com</strong>pet<strong>in</strong>g myself! The w<strong>in</strong>ner from each qualify<strong>in</strong>g tournament will<br />
advance to a playoff for a spot <strong>in</strong> the qualify<strong>in</strong>g draw of the U.S. Open.<br />
Maybe next <strong>year</strong> we can have an event just for the veteran players.<br />
Thanks for represent<strong>in</strong>g <strong>USTA</strong> Texas this past <strong>year</strong>. We cont<strong>in</strong>ue to be<br />
a strong and vibrant section because of our players, volunteers and staff.<br />
Have a great season!
