Helpful Aces and Faults round up Aaress.
It would be good to see more done to popularise tennis in Africa. Bar Cara Black there is no one really is there? Everyone agrees tennis should be about ability and merit, but i’m sure if there was greater opportunity for Africans to enjoy tennis, then a more racially/ethnicly diverse tour would soon occur as African talent is developed and filters through.
Maybe the visit of Venus and Serena can be a helpful development boost.
