Hey Tennis Friends!

A few weeks ago I attended a NEW tennis event in Los Angeles, the LA Tennis Challenge!

This event was covered by Tennis Channel, however, they aired an edited version that didn’t include some of the highlights that I feature in my show. Check it out for yourself:

The event was orchestrated and co-hosted by good friends Mardy Fish and ATP World Tour Board member and Tennis Channel broadcaster Justin Gimelstob. Their goal of proving that professional tennis is alive and well in Los Angeles was validated in all ways, and guarantees that Los Angeles will remain a hotbed for one of the most popular sports in the world.

“We showed on Monday night that professional tennis can thrive in Los Angeles with the right formula of high caliber competition and entertainment value,” Gimelstob said. “Mardy and I are so appreciative of all the players support in this initial event, and their commitment to giving back and preserving tennis in the second biggest media market in the United States. The energy in Pauley Pavilion was incredible and we can’t wait to build on this in 2014!”
