  • Andy Murray Articles 2004-2006
    ANDY MURRAY ARTICLES 2004-2006 2004 Scots tennis 'courting disaster' Despite helping to produce world-class young players Scotland’s top tennis trainer has quit in disgust, writes Tom Lynch Published: 8 August 2004 There’s a wistful note to coach Murray’s voice when she recalls the moment. A hint of pride too. “I couldn’t believe that the kids I started off with when they were eight or nine were in the biggest tournament in the world.” Now, as a summer fog descends on her Dunblane home, Murray’s mood has changed. All the optimism has been replaced by frustration. Last week she resigned from her post at Tennis Scotland, disgusted at the lack of backing from the country’s sports administrators and its politicians and fearing that youngsters who have the talent to win top titles could be forced to leave the game. She is not alone in her thinking. According to Murray, three of the four tennis development staff in Scotland have quit this year, allegedly fed up with their puny resources. Next to go, Murray fears, will be the country’s outstanding crop of young players, forced out of the game because there is simply not the money to help them break through into the big time, to compete alongside the Tim Henmans and Greg Rusedskis for the top honours. The tragic thing is, she says, is that she and her colleagues have produced tremendous talents “against all the odds”. For, while the Scottish executive plans to spend £30m on football to make it competitive again on the world stage, funding for tennis has been slashed by 60%.

    Third Annual Meeting CA15135 BOOK OF THE ABSTRACTS COST ACTION CA15135 MuTaLig & Companies: the multi-targeting drug discovery with implications at industrial level University of Malta - Campus Historical building Saint Paul street, Valletta (Malta) www.mutalig.eu MuTaLig COST ACTION CA15135 Annual meeting 2018 - Valletta (Malta), October 18 -19 2018 INTRODUCTION The MuTaLig COST Action aims to link interactions among highly-qualified research teams working in the emergent Medicinal Chemistry branch, known as multi-target or poly-pharmacology. Started in 2016, our COST Action has passed over the “turning point”. Therefore, to start properly the second part of our four year activities, the third annual meeting has been designed to treat a special issue related to the involvement of industrial partners in the MuTaLig COST Action. Experts from known EU companies will present their activities in plenary talks, depict the impact of the multi-target drug discovery issue and contribute in the development of this field. All MuTaLig community will be involved to push the scientific activities toward the application, possibly at industrial level. Taking into account the special issue “Multi-Target Drug Discovery: an opportunity for novel and repurposed bioactive compounds” currently running on the prestigious European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, the meeting will host also a plenary lecture of the associate editor Prof. Paola Barraja. Moreover, 20 short oral and 48 poster communications from experts within the European countries adhering the MuTaLig COST Action will enrich the intensive program, that will be closed with round table about the central topic of the meeting. Thanks to the availability of Dr.

  • I.ČLTK Revue 01 / 2009
    I. ČLTK PRAHA // KLUBOVÁ REVUE 01/2009 Vážení členové klubu, v uplynulém roce jsme se pokusili o inovaci systému turnajů pro rekreační tenisty, a to formou rozdělení hráčů do přibližně stejných výkonnostních skupin a formou zápasů každého s každým. Důvodem pro změnu systému vyřazovacích pavouků byl větší počet vyrovnaných zápasů v průběhu celé sezony pro slabší hráče a více kvalitnějších utkání pro naše nejlepší neprofesionály v prvních skupinách. Bohužel, celý nový systém, na kterém se po mnoha diskusích dost pečlivě pracovalo a který byl přehledným způsobem hráčům předkládán v klubovém informačním systému, nepřinesl očekávaný výsledek. Značné množství členů klubu, kteří se bez rozmýšlení přihlásili, aniž by později odehráli jediný zápas, nekázeň při dodržování termínů a mnohdy i nechu k přátelské tenisové konfrontaci s hráči podobné výkonnosti způsobily, že s ukončením letní sezony nebyla dohrána ani jedna skupina. Nejlepším neprofesionálním hráčem klubu se stal Luboš Zahradník, ale slibované postupy a sestupy mezi jednotlivými skupinami jsme uskutečnit nemohli.
