Thanks to the zootennis reader in Hawaii who sent me the link to this article yesterday about Easter Bowl finalist Dennis Lajola, who was home for a brief visit. It's a feature story, not a sports story, but it does give a glimpse of the challenges a world-class junior encounters, especially one who lives so far from the sport's power bases.
I encourage anyone who comes across an electronic version of a story about junior or college tennis to email it to me. No matter how much time I spend reading about tennis online, I'm bound to miss some, and zootennis will be a better resource if we can increase the eyes looking for local stories. My email is available by clicking on the Contact headline on my profile page.
