Due to the limited number of practice courts available and all
the players wanting to get in shape for the start of the Main
Draw tomorrow, some of the competitors had to find their
exercise in more creative ways - this WASN'T one of them....!
BUT, for those looking to shed a few pounds and gain a little
muscle tone, so that YOU TOO can look like those bronzed bods
that adorn the South Florida beaches, we can now reveal their
exercise secrets.
Ladies, get rid of those flimsy necklaces. The 'chunky' look is
in! Get some real lead around your neck and work out while
looking chic. And gentlemen, forget those snakeskin Armani
belts! Get some divers weights around that spreading waistline
and get rid of those love-handles.... |

| Back at the Tennis Center, no matter how exciting the tennis, there's always time to
find interesting characters lurking around the grounds.
Frank Waters, left, is a
famous horse event announcer (dressage, three-day events and
hunters/jumpers for the knowledgeable). Originally from England, he now
lives in Delray Beach. Check out his web site at
http://www.horseshowsusa.com.
Bob Green, right, is a
former pro tennis player and now plays on the Senior Tour. He is
the author of 2 tennis books and is working on a third. So now
we can call this picture Frank Waters Bob Green - no wonder he
grew so tall.... Hey, it's Sunday - and Sunday's supposed to be
a day off so don't be expecting quality humor....
And if you wonder what else we've been doing with just 4
scheduled matches today, take a look at a sample of what's
coming up in our Players are People
feature - Alberto Martin....! Yummee.... |
