Got a quick email from Jamie saying that he will be playing our Challenger this year. I have told our staff writers to set aside some time before the tourney and sit down with Jamie. He's a great kid and if he can come back from what he has gone through, he deserves comeback player of the year.
Make sure you follow the tourney through our website at www.frontrowtennis.com We will be streaming all matches on center court. We will be using 3 hi def cameras for your enjoyment. Dallas Challenger will be Jan 30-Feb 6. Take care and Happy New Year to all.
Cheers!

yes, mark p. is using a protected ranking to get in the main draw.
on a side note, jamie and his coach keith arrived safely in dallas today and are staying in a great pad i hooked up for them. one of our members at the club opened their house up to jamie and keith for their stay. jamie is hitting with michael ryderstedt tomorrow afternoon and then im taking jamie and keith out to dinner tomorrow night. i really look forward to a great evening of story telling. hope i come back with some exciting news for you guys and girls. cheers.
probably not. unfortunately i dont hold the 2 wc's from our club or i'd make sure he got one. of course the 2 usta wc's will go to us players. we don't give out our wc's until we hear who received the usta ones. wc's should go out tomorrow.
We had a such a great dinner last night. Listening to the stories from Keith and Baker Boy were priceless. His scare with ITP was so serious. Listening to Jamie tell a story about driving down the road and all of a sudden having blood pour out of his mouth for no reason made you realize how serious a condition he had. I wish Jamie the best in qualies and hope he can make it through.
