Happy New Year to everyone
from our tennis
staff.
Spring 2013 SCTL
season is starting on
January 15th for men’s
senior team and on January
17th for our ladies
teams. We hope for an-
other good season and hope that at least one
of our teams can win their respective level,
like Volley Girls did last season. In between
seasons might be a best time to restring your
racquet. We will be happy to help you with
that and get you ready for new season.
Clinics for our teams will start on Monday,
January 7th.
Club Singles and Doubles Championships
will be held in January. Singles tournament
will start on Friday, January 18th and final
is on Sunday, January 20th. Doubles tournament
will be the next weekend, January
25-27. If you would like to play please call
the Pro Shop at 777-6118, or email me at
milos77@gmail.com to sign up. If we have
enough people interested to play we will
have two levels of play. I hope to have many
people signed up to play and also incourage
everyone to come out to watch the action.
January is big month for all tennis lovers,
Australian Open will be played in Melbourne.Novak
Djokovic and Victoria Azarenka
will try to defend their titles from
last year and I am sure we will be able to see
some great tennis in two weeks of competition.
We all have our favorites and I hope
that Novak can win again.
Stop by the Pro Shop and check out new
styles of Maui Jim sunglasses and also very
soon we will have a whole new line of Head
racquets with new Graphene technology. I
had the opportunity to try some of the new
frames and they are excellent.

Sabita and I represented the Club at the
USPTA Masters Tournament in Williams Island
Tennis Club in Aventura. That was the
year ending tournament end only the four
best players in each age group were invited
to participate.
I won my semifinal match against Denny
Rager from Ft Myers after a long battle, 4:6
7:6(4) and 10-8 in super tie-break. Unfortunately
I lost my first match of the year
in the final against Andy Lake. He is currently
USTA 35’s National Champion and
beat me pretty convincingly 6:1 6:3. Overall
I am very pleased with my year and I have
finished ranked number one in the USPTA
Grand Prix circuit. I hope that I can repeat
that next season and represent our Club in
the best possible way.
Sabita also played at the tournament and finished
third in her age group. Our club was
the only one that had two pro’s playing at
the tournament.
Tennis Tip
One of the easiest way to improve your game is to improve your footwork. Studies
have shown that the average club player makes four steps in between shots, while the
average pro player makes thirteen steps. That allows them to always be so well prepared
to execute their shots. So, keep your feet moving and make many small adjustment steps
in between shots and fewer bigger steps. More steps will allow you to get in the correct
position and create more space between you and the ball, and that will allow you to have
more control and power on your shots.
