  • 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.
