Communication is an integral part of growing the game. By
utilizing the Internet as a new medium, Mr. Valentich is reaching more tennis enthusiasts
and disseminating more tennis information than a printed newsletter could ever
accomplish.

"Major Pittsburgh newspapers publish about half a
dozen substantive, locally based tennis articles a year. Equally significant, individuals
and grassroots tennis organizations don't have the resources to mount effective media
campaigns for their programs and events. Tennis in the Burgh provides a medium where
tennis enthusiasts can gather news and information that's both timely and
comprehensive."
Bette Salmon
Senior Vice President

"Your website is a wonderful addition to the
Allegheny Mountain tennis scene. It is not only exciting and esthetically pleasing but is
clearly on the cutting edge of what is possible in this media. Your coverage of the PNC
Challenger tennis tournament--with daily articles, background pieces, photographs and
interesting hyperlinks--was a remarkable undertaking. Your talent is exceeded only by your
enthusiasm for the game of tennis. Thank you for helping to grow the game."
Carol Strasser
President
USTA Middle States Allegheny Mountain District
"Remarkable for its scope and
creativity."
