Agassi To Be Inducted Into US Open Court of Champions
The
USTA announced that Andre Agassi, a two-time US Open Champion, has been
named the 2012 inductee into the US Open Court of Champions, a US Open
and USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center attraction honoring the
greatest singles champions in the history of the U.S. Championships/US
Open. Agassi will be inducted during an on-court ceremony in Arthur
Ashe Stadium prior to the Men’s Singles Championship on Sunday,
September 9.
Novak Wants To Keep His Personal Problem Private
Novak
Djokovic continues to concentrate on his tennis and not his personal
problems after crashing out of the London Games without a medal. The
Serb who is heading the field this week in Toronto, said that
observations from his former coach and mentor that he is going through
personal problems are not a topic for discussion.
Knee Injury Forces Murray To Drop Out of Toronto
The
luck has turned sour for Olympic gold medalist Andy Murray after the
two-time champion was forced to withdraw from the Toronto Masters with a
post-Games knee problem.
Sniteman Treats The Stars
ATP
and ITF trainers don’t usually get a lot of attention, but Clay Sniteman
received some TV time in his home state of Utah for his work with
international pros during the Olympics.
Roger Federer has called Sniteman, a physical therapist who also works
at Weber State University, a “Miracle Man”. Although Sniteman is modest
enough to say it was just once, Mike Bryan says that the physio helped
key 11 of his Grand Slam doubles runs.
