2010 BULLDOG TENNIS CAMP

When I saw on twitter that it had been FIVE YEARS since it happened, I almost couldn't believe it!! Guess it must be true that "time flies when you're having fun!!"

I'm sure you remember - how could anyone forget - the longest match in the history of tennis: qualifier NICOLAS MAHUT & 23 seed JOHN ISNER competing in a 3-day match in the first round of the 2010 Wimbledon Championships. But do you remember EXACTLY where you were? WE DO!!

Most people think all we do is go to junior tournaments & that's just not true. In addition to the ongoing College Recruit Video Sessions & the occasional Academy Video Session, we love Summer Tennis Camps during the month of June & that's just where we were when the longest match was played: We were at the Bulldog Tennis Camp @ UGA. We were thrilled to be part of the camp for three straight weeks in 2010. In Week 1, we met & got to know this guy: COACH DAN MAGILL!!

 

Coach gave us a personal tour through the Intercollegiate Tennis Hall of Fame & he was always, always so kind to us. RIP, Coach <3

In Week 2, we met & got to know this guy: COACH MANNY DIAZ!! 

We had a blast w/ the campers & then something pretty special happened:

Wish I could put my fingers on some spur of the moment pics or video that showed tons of campers gathered around the TV inside while the match was going on!! It was a million degrees outside in the heat of Georgia summer <so the A/C was very, very appealing> but no one wanted to leave the TV because they didn't want to miss the end of the match & we felt the same way...except it went on & on & on. We hung around for a long time & then we went to lunch with our friend Coach Paul Tobin. We asked the manager @ the Chili's to put the match on for us because we didn't want to miss the end of the match...except it went on & on & on. We drove as fast as we could from Athens to Atlanta <about an hour-ish> because we didn't want to miss the end of the match...except it went on & on & on :)

In Week 3, we met & got to know the tall guy himself: JOHN ISNER!!

THREE wonderful weeks in the lives of HIGH-TECH TENNIS!! WOW... Almost can't believe that was FIVE YEARS AGO & now you understand why we say #TheFunNeverEnds :)

It wouldn't be possible for us to live this
dreamy life if you didn't do what you do, lol!!

It's a real privilege to play a small role
in the development of your junior player
& WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!
