L’ingresso sarà sempre gratuito salvo per il venerdì, sabato e domenica, quando è previsto un biglietto unico a 15 euro valevole per le tre giornate. L’entrata e la biglietteria saranno ubicate in fondo alla scalinata di via Federico Ricci, lato nord dello stadio. “Non saranno a Genova Fabio Fognini e Potito Starace, impegnati in Coppa Davis con la nazionale il fine settimana successivo alla finale dell’AON Challenger Memorial Messina – commenta Giorgio Tarantola, direttore del torneo -. A luglio Fabio e Potito avevano assicurato la loro partecipazione al nostro torneo, ma la scelta del Cile di ospitare il playoff per il World Group sul cemento anziché sulla terra battuta ha cambiato decisamente il panorama iniziale. L’entry list è comunque di grande qualità e sto lavorando per portare a Genova un altro top player, probabilmente fra i reduci dei primi turni dello US Open”. Genova24.it - 2 / 2 - 24.09.2021.

Comerica Bank Challenger 2010 “Behindthe Sceneswith Star Stringing”
COMERICA BANK CHALLENGER 2010 “BEHINDTHE SCENESWITH STAR STRINGING” Article by Leslie López bought the Seascape Club, and established the Aptos f you want to understand tennis better, want an inside view of Challenger, now the longest-running Challenger event in the Ithe Aptos Comerica Bank Challenger Tournament at the country. And Mindell has been stringing here every year since Seascape Sports Club, and like to laugh, pay a visit to the 1994, after Rick Kepler, USTPA player and Seascape Club’s stringing room, and have a word with David Mindell. He and Tennis Director, “stuck his nose in the stringing trailer down in his colleague Doug Denton, both of Star Stringing, based in Palm Springs, work to keep both tournament competitors and club members in top form throughout the week they are here. But like the players, they are full-time pros, and this week is one among many for them: they work the tournament circuit, taking care of the stars’ racquets, and everyone else’s in between. Mindell takes his work seriously, and is never at a loss for words about it. “This is truly a gladiatorial sport,” he says, “and we are the ones who get the chance to fine-tune the instruments of that sport so people can do better when they’re out there.” References to combat aside (or perhaps in full view of how tense professional tennis can be) Mindell also works at keeping people happy. While his hands move steadily through the racquets each day—a total of about 200-300 during an average Aptos Challenger, including about 70-80 from an expanding local clientele of Seascape Club members—he keeps up a running dialogue with anyone who wanders into his shop.

For more information, please contact [email protected]. CORRUPTION: ITS IMPACT ON FAIR PLAY RICHARD H. MCLAREN* I. INTRODUCTION A difference between sport and entertainment is the unpredictability of sporting outcomes versus the planned and executed event that provides entertainment. Corruption attempts to alter this equation and make sport more of an entertainment event with a greater certainty of outcome. This equation is altered when corruption is centered on match fixing or gambling; biased refereeing; and, to a similar but different degree, when sporting results are affected by the use of performance enhancing drugs. Corruption, in any of the foregoing forms, robs sport of its essential feature of uncertainty of the outcome and accelerates its spin into the forum of entertainment, and thus it no longer is sport. Corruption gnaws away at the fundamental foundations of sport and therefore of sporting integrity. It becomes essential to protect that integrity to ensure that sport is free from any corrupt influence that might cast doubt over the authenticity and unpredictability of the sporting result.
