“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.”

Laura Canfield
Executive Director
USTA Middle States

 

"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
USTA Middle States Board of Directors

 

"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
