The U.S. Open tennis coverage is always excellent. The Tennis Channel deliver quality coverage with excellent commentary. Most are retired pros. This year will also be great because the Olympics are in the middle of tennis season. The players will play for their countries, get very little rest and jump right into the U.S. Open. And my prediction is that Roger Federer is going to win.
Then again, Nadal won the French Open for a fourth time this year, then beat Federer on grass at the Wimbledon. It was a fantastic match and both men were great sports and wonderful examples. Noticeably missing from the stands is Nadal’s secret girlfriend, Xisca. It’s not a secret any longer that he’s taken. Federer girlfriend, Mirka Vavrinec.
I wonder if we will see either of these ladies at the Olympics. No matter what, the 2008 Olympics in Beijing will be exciting and the U.S. Open will too!

The 2008 Wimbledon tennis tournament began today in England. Defending champ Roger Federer is hoping to make more history by winning for a 6th time. He lost in the recent French Open to clay court king Rafael Nadal, but he hopes to prove he deserves his number one ranking by winning on the grass court. Nadal made history himself when he won the 2008 French Open tennis tournament in Paris earlier this year. He is the first to win 4 in a row. And he is ranking number two.
Winning the French Open will give Federer his career Grand Slam and if he is able to win, he will be able to retire with no regrets. However, Nadal not only doesn’t want that to happen, he wants to win at Wimbledon and become the number one ranked. It is difficult because both of them are so likable and have such great public images. Only one can win and only one can be number one. I guess we’ll just have to wait 2 weeks to see who comes out on top.

Those who play golf on a regular basis tend to think that their instructors have the best job in the world. Many wonder just how one goes about landing that fantastic job that keeps them out on the greens nearly all day long. Just like any profession, careers in golf require an individual to have a strong foundation of education to start from. The sport of golf is now a multimillion-dollar industry that stands all on its own and has developed very unique nuances. Getting an educational degree geared for the golf industry is the best way to get one’s foot in the door.
Though there are plenty of curriculums that revolve around golf instruction, there are many more professions that branch out from the golf industry. In fact, there is a golf job for just about any practical skill set. From management to grounds keeping, individuals will be able to find a degree that will get them where they want to go. When one decides teaching golf is truly their calling, they can look forward to a career instructing young children or even big name professionals. The only limits to a career in golf are the ones individuals make for themselves.

With the warmer, spring-like weather just around the corner I have been preparing my tennis equipment for another season. It will be nice to get out into the fresh air again!
As well as playing I am looking forward to the upcoming grand slam tournaments on TV. The French Open 2008 looks like it is going to be very entertaining. I wonder if Nadal and Henin will pull it off again? Summer will bring the grass courts and rain! of Wimbledon tennis! I do hope the rain holds off this year!
It promises to be a very competitive year for myself and for professional tennis players. I am looking forward to some great competition.
