Paszek Discovered by WTA website

Bob Larson's Tennis News is an indispensable resource for pro tennis news, and I discovered this "getting to know" article on Tamira Paszek from the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour website via his Tennis News section.

From my brief conversations with Paszek in New York, I was impressed by her maturity and her cosmopolitan outlook. Her family history provides some clue where that came from.

Tennis News has recently added to the home page sections entitled Jr. Tennis News and Jr. Tournament News, which I hope will add to more mainstream exposure for juniors.

I've also recently come upon another site, called Matrix (?) that provides a quick overview of every ITF Junior event winner by week, with their birthdate included. It's a quick, one-page, one-click overview, which saves the time of going back and forth on the ITF junior site.

Also, this week's Inside Junior Tennis podcast is available now. I want to add that Kevin McClure and I discuss the new combined ranking that the USTA is implementing, which will include doubles results. I said in the podcast that I thought it was starting in 2007. It is actually going to begin in 2008.
