Grounds Pass $5.00 on Sunday; August Aces are up

The USTA has confirmed that they will once again be selling grounds passes for the junior finals on Sunday for $5.00. It's the best bargain in sports; three years ago you could have seen Andy Murray (now firmly established as a top 20 player), two years ago Victoria Azarenka (fourth round this year in women's singles and mixed doubles champion) and last year Tamira Paszek (fourth round this year in women's singles).

My regular Aces feature for the Tennis Recruiting Network was posted yesterday. It's centered around the National age group champions.
