Roditi’s claim that his player Norrie made Wake Forest player, Petros Chrysochos, “look like an amateur” was an unnecessary personal slam on Chryslochos and was a LOT more than merely saying that Norrie made the match look easy. Did you really think that his comment showed class?<br /><br />Related to this, your gratuitous and baseless attack on CNN for manufacturing news -- rather than Fox News which was literally founded and ran by a Roger Ailes a Republican operative -- is revealing. It’s a clear indication that you support and voted for the Predator in Chief, and so that says a lot about your judgment. You probably think that Trump also never does or says anything wrong and that people are "too politically correct."To the Trump Supporternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10016685.post-58215535681253658092017-03-11T07:17:24.191-05:002017-03-11T07:17:24.191-05:00ITA Board Member, must be TR's new community o...ITA Board Member, must be TR's new community outreach protocol for a board member to vent his or her thoughts on a public blog...try keeping it in house...more class.<br />Coach Roditi was explaining how Norrie made the match look easy...that's all.

I commend and respect him for coming back to school with his strong results in the pro tournaments he has played. He has the ability to deliver woodshed beatings to anyone in college at any given time, which he did against Wake Forest. <br /><br />You ask a great question of college players with decent pro rankings to come back to college. Without a doubt, no one will ever beat John McEnroe's #19 in the world while he was at Stanford. The #1 Women's player from Ohio State is in the WTA #300s and returned to school as she could have been ability to be inside #200 by now. (my opinion). <br /><br />I hope Norrie does choose to play Roland Garros instead of NCAA's because winning the NCAA singles title will do nothing for him (being a non-American citizen) or his career except a couple headlines in the local paper and a banner at his school. He should begin is full-time pro career at end of team season. <br /><br />Thank you for your post and seeing both sides of aisle. <br /><br />Ft.

He essentially is a professional with free housing and coaching. Look at how many pro tournaments he's played. In May, Norrie will likely have the option of playing the NCAAs or Roland Garros, since he may be a direct entry into the Qualies based on his ranking. When was the last time a college player had to make that decision?

Those are his words, not mine. Most of his quotes were classy and honorable but there were some, as an ITA Board member and a Top College coach, that were VERY disrespectful to his opponent and to college tennis. <br /><br />If you quote it, If the words are in print, you absolutely can analyze it. Welcome to the real world, Welcome to leading a successful program. He just needs to choose his words more carefully. That wasn't his first interview, he knows better. <br /><br />I'm moving on....<br /><br />ITA Board Member....noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10016685.post-57523492727771007012017-03-07T21:43:56.468-05:002017-03-07T21:43:56.468-05:00ITA BOARD MEMBER...:))
Put everything in context....ITA BOARD MEMBER...:))<br /><br />Put everything in context...do not cherry pick the quotes...this is what Coach Roditi said: "Head Coach David Roditi<br />“Today was a really good match and there was some really good tennis played. Obviously I am disappointed because I hate playing at home and being at a disadvantage because of our rules and because of our type of facility. We had to play indoors on some of the fastest courts against guys that are much better indoors then they are outside. I am frustrated but I do not want to take anything away from Wake Forest who is a very good team. They are one of the best teams and the coach has done a great job.<br /><br />“I am proud of the way our guys played today and how we competed. There were some really bright spots there. Cameron Norrie made one of the best players in college look like an amateur. Jerry Lopez had a great win and played physical like he should be playing. (Alex) Rybakov got a nice revenge on a very good player. We just came up a little short at No. 3 and Guillermo (Nuñez) gave it everything he had. They served very well today and got so many free points on their serve. I hope we play that team outdoors later in the year. There is nothing we can do about it right now but learn from it and continue to get better and get healthier. At some point we will have a full lineup out there and be able to compete with these top teams. I really appreciate all the people who came out. It was a great atmosphere and a lot of fun and we really appreciate all the support.”<br /><br />Most people involved....even Coach Bresky understood what David was saying.....move on....ITA Board Member....work on problems at hand...you have several...all the best.....good luck college tennisJ Buffettnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10016685.post-4809679591133163992017-03-07T18:57:34.224-05:002017-03-07T18:57:34.224-05:00I'm concerned AND confused about a David Rodit...<br />I'm concerned AND confused about a David Roditi quote (TCU Men's Coach). Disappointing from an ITA Board Member as well.<br /><br />Cameron Norrie made one of the best players in college look like an amateur. (Isn't EVERYONE in college an "Amateur"). Also very demeaning to his opponent, lack of professionalism and doesn't paint a positive picture of all the coaches/players he represents as a Board Member. <br /><br />he then says...<br /><br />I am disappointed because I hate playing at home (OUCH) and being at a disadvantage because of our rules and because of our type of facility. (bigger OUCH). Well David, you are on the ITA Board so it's the ITA's fault of those rules? <br /><br />ITA Board Member....noreply@blogger.com
