see how this talented youngster fared against her older and more
experienced opponent. They were not disappointed...

her new career as a NFL linebacker...
...and Georgette Wright - just
happy to be Georgette...
With great regret we have to leave the
Evert facility in Boca Raton, South Florida, before the end of the
tournament due to a commitment to the Star Island Men's Classic
which starts on Friday, January 17 and is being held in
Kissimmee, Central Florida. We will be bringing you full
coverage of this event.
But we were very impressed with the
friendly but professional attitude that permeates the Evert
Academy - and we will be returning soon to bring you more
information about this high-energy facility that is proving
highly successful in adapting innovative techniques and programs
to their goal of producing the next generation of world-class
tennis professionals.
