December 2006 Court Monitor COURT MONITOR Michigan High School Tennis Coaches Association Newsletter December 2006 Volume 98, Issue 3 U of M Law Professor Richard Friedman to act on behalf of MHSTeCA in MHSAA lawsuit The MHSTeCA has accepted legal representation in the Gender Equity lawsuit from U of M Law Professor Richard Friedman. Mr. Friedman’s daughter is a freshman on Ann Arbor Huron’s tennis team. He is willing to help the MHSTeCA and tennis by representing the interests of his daughter in the lawsuit. Mr. Friedman has agreed to provide this assistance without fee. The only request is for the MHSTeCA to help finance the inherent costs of filing the briefs. The MHSTeCA Board of Directors has unanimously agreed to help with these expenses. A special fund is being set up to assist Mr. Friedman with the cost of printing, postage and travel. Contributions for this fund are needed. To donate to this fund send a check made out to the MHSTeCA and send it to Tiger Teusink, 52 E. 30th St., Holland MI 49423.

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.
