		<description>1.  I use the WTA website  

2. A separate post so they are not confused. I read you site first thing in morning so simple is the best. 

3.  All of your site is good but but favorite feature is open forum Friday as you discuss interesting topics that aren't discussed anywhere else.

4. I visit daily and I've been reading for the last two to three years as long as I've had home internet 

5. Yes you don't hear about doubles that much and it would be great to hear about it more.

6.  They would be of no interest to me as I don't play anymore. I shot my knees to bits years ago. 

Overall I think you run a great website it one of the first sites I look at when I'm looking for tennis result and news. Keep up the good work.</description>

		<description>Hey Aaress,
  I have an idea about the forum thing. The main point there was just to keep the topics that people are discussing readily available. So, if you pulled in a module that lists the latest comments that would be easier, maintain your format and get the job done. If I'm being unclear or you need more info on that, please email me</description>

		<description>Dapxin - thanks a bunch for the link! I've used MailChimp, but never used SurveyMonkey. I plan to get this set up ASAP!</description>

		<description>Aaress,

Why dont you create the survery here http://www.surveymonkey.com/ and get people clicking in the responses ? 

I find it easier that way. Hope it helps.</description>

		<description>My big thing is this. News happens any day of the week. When WTA news happens on weekends, OTB needs to be reporting that as it happens. If one has to go elsewhere for two days, it sort of defeats the purpose.

On live scoring. A link to the WTA app for that tournament would be great. If the WTA will allow you to embed it that might be another option.

On the pro advice. What I think would be huge is if you could get known coaches to give exclusive comments on players performance in recent matches. Nick Bollettieri seems to be the man, maybe you could work a deal.

My "almost but not quite as big thing" is that some things come up that have lasting interest for discussion. Having a forum section that those posts archive to would be grand.

And thanks for doing all this.</description>

		<description>1. If On the Baseline added live scoring, would you use it and how often?

The ATP and WTA websites have excellent live scoring, so it probably would be unnecessary.

2. Would you rather read the previous day’s top results in the daily Aces and Faults or would you prefer a separate post as soon as each day’s play is finished? How about the daily order of play?

Separate post, results and DOP can be combined in one post.

3. What is your favorite feature (Aces and Faults, Open Forum Friday, the Ticker, Guest Posts, Blasts from the Past, etc) at On the Baseline? Do you have a least favorite?

The aces and faults section is kind of weird sometimes. For example, when a top player loses early, it can be considered as a fault. But in other instances where other big names get upset it can be an ace for the young star who caused it. I think that's really subjective, and thus that feature should not include any results whatsoever, but merely commentary for off court reports (injuries, pull outs, other news, etc)

4. How long have you been reading On the Baseline? Do you visit daily, weekly, or just during the big tournaments?

Every other day or so. Been reading this for almost a year now. One of the best site exclusively for women's tennis out there!

5. Are you interested in reading more about doubles?

Yes. ****, Jelena Jankovic and Jamie Murray's win at Wimbledon was just as exciting as Venus's win, if not more. 

6. Do you play tennis? If so, would you like to read instruction articles by professional coaches?

I play tennis, and would love any advice from the pros. :)</description>
