Hello. I think giving children a chance to get involved with tennis is a great idea. My little sister wants to become a wimbledon star and would like some more information on how to get involved would you please contact me to let me know how she can do this. Thank you
My lifelong wish is to go to Wimbledon to see some tennis during the tourney. My father played for State Champ in AL so I got my love from him. My parents were art students at AL so when we moved to K.C. We opened a gallery. Something Mr. McEnroe might find interesting. We worked w/ a # of NY gallerys he might know of. I was crippled in a car accident 3 years ago so I can no longer play but love to watch.
Thank You,
Dennis Morgan
