Happy New Year!

It may be a holiday, but Marcia Frost of
collegeandjuniortennis.com is on the job. Having just finished coverage of the National Men's and Women's Open in New York (won by teenagers Nikita Kryvonos and Gail Brodsky), Frost hopped on a plane for her annual trip to Arizona for the finals of the Winter Nationals and the just-started Copper Bowl.

I enjoy covering tournaments that Marcia is also attending, but after five weeks in Florida, I'm delighted to be reading about the matches via her website instead. Although the weather couldn't be drearier here in Michigan, the countdown for Australia has begun, and I know we'll see plenty of sun Down Under.
