First of all, I’d like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I’ll be spending the holidays with friends and family in Florida until January 6th. Again, wishing you all the best for 2006!

I won’t have that much free time when I return (not that I ever have much free time) because I will be heading to Melboune, Australia for the Australian Open where I’ll be coaching Kellen Damico. Kellen has made a great deal of progress this past year, rising to #26 in the I.T.F. junior world rankings. Keep your eyes out for him and wish us luck!

I will keep you posted on his results so check back often. Here are some related sites:

Also, here are some more pictures from this past week while training Kellen Damico, his doubles partner Nate Schnugg (winner of Kalamazoo Boys 16’s singles and doubles and currently #77 in the world), Tyler Hochwalt (currently #3 in the U.S. Boys 16’s), Paul Koenke (playing for Clemson University Tennis Team) and Jeff Zeller (playing for Stanford University Tennis Team). Good luck to Kellen and Nate in Mexico City this week and lots of success to Paul and Jeff with their college tennis!
