Tennis Glory Ever Could
A CHAMPION’S MIND For my wife, Bridgette, and boys, Christian and Ryan: you have fulfilled me in a way that no number of Grand Slam titles or tennis glory ever could Introduction Chapter 1 1971–1986 The Tennis Kid Chapter 2 1986–1990 A Fairy Tale in New York Chapter 3 1990–1991 That Ton of Bricks Chapter 4 1992 My Conversation with Commitment Chapter 5 1993–1994 Grace Under Fire Chapter 6 1994–1995 The Floodgates of Glory Chapter 7 1996 My Warrior Moment Chapter 8 1997–1998 Wimbledon Is Forever Chapter 9 1999–2001 Catching Roy Chapter 10 2001–2002 One for Good Measure Epilogue Appendix About My Rivals Acknowledgments / Index Copyright A few years ago, the idea of writing a book about my life and times in tennis would have seemed as foreign to me as it might have been surprising to you. After all, I was the guy who let his racket do the talking. I was the guy who kept his eyes on the prize, leading a very dedicated, disciplined, almost monkish existence in my quest to accumulate Grand Slam titles. And I was the guy who guarded his private life and successfully avoided controversy and drama, both in my career and personal life. But as I settled into life as a former player, I had a lot of time to reflect on where I’d been and what I’d done, and the way the story of my career might impact people. For starters, I realized that what I did in tennis probably would be a point of interest and curiosity to my family. -

Y ese nombre no es otro que el de Marcelo Ríos. Desde sus primeros pasos en el profesionalismo, la figura del zurdo de Vitacura se ha convertido en uno de los ejes fundamentales de la prensa deportiva nacional, reactivando un segmento deportivo que estaba sumido en una de las crisis más grandes de los últimos años. Marcelo Ríos se ha transformado en una de las figuras noticiosas más importantes de nuestro país. Portada de diarios y revistas, ya sea deportivos o no; figura recurrente en los estelares de televisión; foco noticioso recurrente de noticieros; personaje de interés por su juego y personalidad ha contribuido enormemente a la difusión del deporte blanco en nuestro país que, por fin, cuenta con un ídolo que le permita recuperar el rumbo perdido. -

What are my plans for improving the program? ............................................................... 12 1 1. Introduction - What is the grand slam tennis program? The Grand Slam Tennis Program allows you to see how recent grand slam tennis champions would fair against champions from the past. You can choose from more than 90 former men's grand slam champions and more than 80 former Women's Champions. In addition, you can choose to play the tennis match at the Australian Open, U.S. Open, Wimbledon, or French Open. International tennis matches can also be played, with the option of choosing from many countries around the world. The program is perfect for simulating individual match ups or holding an entire tournament. This is not video graphic game. It is a statistical game based on each former tennis player’s historical success in playing major grand slam singles events. While some players have a higher probability of success, their performance in any particular tournament is still subject to the laws of random probability. For example, a player who has had major success in the French Open is likely to do well in the French Open, but could still lose to a player who has had less historical success in the French Open. -

Tennis Palindromes
TENNIS PALINDROMES ANIL JEFF GRANT Perth, Australia Hastings, New Zealand Disinterest in tennis should not prevent wordplay lovers from enjoying these personal palindromes (PDs). Jeff presented an article on palindromic names in the August 1996 Word Ways. A few were tennis players. Here we add to them a few more, and a very large list of palindromes incorporating tennis names, first or surname. We attempted all past #1s, slam winners, and May 2020 top 100s, often failing. There are four parts, alphabetical by surname within each part: 1. palindromic names; 2. reversals; 3. near reversals; 4. longer. For each player named we give country, active period and highest rank #; d if in doubles; wins in slams—Australian Open (A), Roland Garros (F), Wimbledon (W), US Open (U)—and year-end tour championships (T), Olympic gold (O), Fed Cups (FC), Davis Cups (DC) and Hopman Cups (HC). 1.
