Have Racket, Will Travel for Ticket to the Show - New York Times (registration required)

Have Racket, Will Travel for Ticket to the Show - New York Times--

Not a junior story, but one every prospective professional tennis player should read. That it is a story about one of my favorite players ever at Kalamazoo, Paul Goldstein, is just icing on the cake. When he won an unprecedented three titles in a row in Kalamazoo, he landed in the record books here, and then added an NCAA record at Stanford as the first player on four championship teams. This next record he's chasing is not so substantial, most singles wins on the Pro Circuit.

He didn't qualify for Wimbledon, [see comment for clarification] so it's back to the minor leagues for him, but I don't know a single person in tennis who isn't rooting for him to spend as much time in the "show" as he wants to and to retire when he's good and ready.

Goldstein got in the main draw as the #2 lucky loser.
