    2012 News Page 1 of 18 The Website of Maria Bueno, Tennis Champion 2012 NEWS ROGER FEDERER VISITS SAO PAULO, 6-9 December 2012 The Gillette Federer Tour kicked off Roger’s first South American visit in Sao Paulo, Brazil, last week and he was keen to involve Maria in the proceedings. The two met at the Player Party, where Roger was joined by Maria Sharapova, Caroline Wozniacki, Victoria Azarenka, Serena Williams, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and the Bryan Brothers. Roger invited Maria to hit with him so he could see her legendary backhand for himself and arrangements were made for them to take to the court laid at the Ibirapuera indoor arena. Maria instructed him not to hit ‘anything spinny’, to which Roger replied that he would play her like he does with his parents and afterwards admitted she was way much better than them! Later he posted a picture of them on his Facebook page, saying: “About to play tennis Maria Esther Bueno… she has won 19 Grand Slam titles (7 singles, 11 doubles and 1 mixed)… she still plays amazing!” As for Maria, she was just astonished at how well he hit the ball. “He sliced one backhand that sped off the court like it had skidded off a line,” she said. “I said: Whoa! What was that? And he just laughed! “It was a fantastic experience and I think he enjoyed it too!” The two players swapped gifts – she gave him a framed photograph, which she signed ‘You are simply the best’ while he presented her with one of his rackets, personally signed on the handle.

The book includes two new tables that collect in one place the major responsibilities of the Tournament Committee and the Referee. The ITF has authorized smaller courts for 10-and-under tournaments as an ex- periment in 2008. USTA Regulation XI. includes detailed information on how to lay out these new 36-foot and 60-foot courts. Perhaps the most sig- nificant change is that the only form of Match Tiebreak that will now be authorized is the 10-Point Match Tiebreak. Last year’s edition of Friend at Court was Rollie Shea’s last as one of its editors.

  • Generational Differences in Career Transitions Among Top 100 Ranked Golfers
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by YorkSpace Generational Differences in Career Transitions Among Top 100 Ranked Golfers Aaron Koenigsberg A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Graduate Program in Kinesiology and Health Science York University Toronto, Ontario August 2019 ã Aaron Koenigsberg, 2019 Abstract Golf National Sport Organizations (NSOs) invest significant resources to help athletes achieve a top ranking. However, little objective data exists to inform this process. The Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) may be a useful resource for benchmarking athlete progression. However, ranking data is retrospective, meaning that past data may not be relevant to inform current/future athletes. It is therefore necessary to appraise the OWGR data to determine whether such data is valid to inform future decision-making. Golfers who first obtained a top 100 OWGR between 1990-2018 were divided into four age-based cohorts. An overall developmental pathway was defined consisting of; career ranking milestones (e.g. first top 1000 ranking) and the time taken to transition between such milestones. Overall, a trend towards younger generations of golfers reaching milestones at significantly earlier ages and in less time was observed. The findings in this thesis will allow NSOs to appropriately apply the OWGR to their decision-making processes. Keywords: Athlete Identification, Athlete Development, Golf, Generational Differences ii Acknowledgements I would like to thank my supervisor, Dr. Joseph Baker for all of his unwavering encouragement and support. Joe, your knowledge and guidance has been instrumental to me throughout this process.
