Road Trip

All this talk of grass court tennis has me very excited about attending my first tournament on that surface. No, it's not Nottingham or Roehampton, but Philadelphia, for the USTA Junior International Grass Courts, which begin tomorrow. It's a small draw (32) but it's boys and girls, singles and doubles, and there are 21 grass courts at the Philadelphia Cricket Club to wander. Add to that a visit with family in the area, and it sounds like a perfect way to spend a week in June.
