Not particularly on topic but tennis is a close second for me to horse racing and there is a Champions Touney 10 minutes from me put on Outback and run by by Tim Wilkison (Dr. Dirt) and have worked there every year as a driver and usher. Have got to meet Aaron Krickstein, Pat Cash, Jim Courier, Todd Martin, and many others. Sampras played last year and McEnroe the year before.

It is just too much fun to see these guys play. Watch Sampras pratice for 45 minutes with only 5 other people there and it was very cool.
